Math

Below are the big ideas we will cover each quarter in math. I will add more resources for each concept as the year goes on.

Quarter 1

We will cover the following big ideas.

  • Generate shape and numerical patterns connected to x, y coordinate points.
  • Generate, represent and interpret data. • Understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
  • Use models and strategies to solve real-world and word problems involving multiplication and division.

Quarter 2

We will cover the following big ideas.

  • Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
  • Explore the place value system from one million to thousandths.
  • Use length and area models to add and subtract decimals
  • Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.

Quarter 3

We will cover the following big ideas:

  • Multiply two whole numbers using the standard algorithm and other strategies.
  • Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
  • Multiply and divide decimals using models and strategies based on place value.

Quarter 4

We will cover the following big ideas:

  • Use a conversion chart to solve one-step problems.
  • Multiply a fraction by a fraction using length and area models.
  • Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties.
