Dear Family,
Your student is learning to use their knowledge of operations and fractions to model and solve multi-step problems that require the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students evaluate expressions with parentheses and use tape diagrams to make sense of the expressions. They recognize that the same equation can be represented in different ways.

Find a sample of our lessons below to help support MATH TALK at home.
Students also have these in their APPLY workbook.
Lesson 18
Compare and evaluate expressions with parentheses.
I can evaluate expressions with parentheses by using tape diagrams to help me make sense of the expressions. I can then use reasoning to compare the values of expressions and statements without evaluating.
Lesson 19
Create and solve one-step word problems involving fractions.
I can write one-step word problems to match a tape diagram or an expression.
Lesson 20
Solve multi-step word problems involving fractions and write equations with parentheses.
I can use the Read–Draw–Write process to solve word problems. I can use a tape diagram to find a solution method that uses fewer steps.
Lesson 21
Solve multi-step word problems involving fractions.
I can use the Read–Draw–Write process to solve multi-step word problems involving fractions. I notice when my tape diagram represents the unknown of the word problem, and when it does not, I can revise or draw another tape.
Lesson 22
Evaluate expressions involving nested grouping symbols. (Optional)
I can read an expression that has parentheses inside of brackets or braces to help me evaluate the expression.
