⭐️ Essential Key Concept ⭐️
B2.1 use the properties of operations, and the relationships between operations, to solve problems involving whole numbers and decimal numbers, including those requiring more than one operation, and check calculations (limited to multiplication and division)
B2.2 recall and demonstrate multiplication facts from 0 × 0 to 12 × 12, and related division facts
B2.3 use mental math strategies to multiply whole numbers by 0.1 and 0.01 and estimate sums and differences of decimal numbers up to hundredths, and explain the strategies used
B2.6 represent and solve problems involving the multiplication of two-digit whole numbers by two-digit whole numbers using the area model and using algorithms, and make connections between the two methods
B2.7 represent and solve problems involving the division of three-digit whole numbers by two-digit whole numbers using the area model and using algorithms, and make connections between the two methods, while expressing any remainder appropriately
F1.2 estimate and calculate the cost of transactions involving multiple items priced in dollars and cents, including sales tax, using various strategies
E2. Measurement: compare, estimate, and determine measurements in various contexts (continued from Topic 8 - contexts for multiplying and dividing)
E2.5 use the area relationships among rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles to develop the formulas for the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle, and solve related problems
E2.6 show that two-dimensional shapes with the same area can have different perimeters, and solve related problems
Process Expectation Focus: Problem Solving, Selecting Tools and Strategies
During this topic, pay attention to the students' ability to think critically and creatively.
Do students connect the mathematics they are learning to familiar contexts?
Do students use their mathematical thinking to make and justify decisions?
Do students use mathematics to help them identify and/or address important social issues?
