What We Value and What To Expect: 

Maintaining a growth mindset ourselves, we continually refine our approach in order to foster a deep mathematical understanding in our students. Beyond just finding the correct answer, this year, students will engage deeply with mathematical concepts, using and exemplifying those ideas through the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) framework. Throughout this year, students will model and explain concepts with manipulatives, drawings, and mathematical expressions, making connections along the way.

To help achieve these goals, we will use Eureka Math² as our main resource. Eureka Math² is an interactive and highly regarded program designed to build lasting math knowledge. Families, click HERE for more information about Eureka Math².

Preparing for Next Year:

Throughout the year, students will complete six modules (or chapters). To be best prepared, certain prerequisite skills should be understood. See below for practice pertaining to each of next year's modules. Modules will be followed in sequential order. 

Module 1 Prerequisite Skills

• Represent a multiplication situation with equal groups and arrays and then transition to more abstract tape diagrams

• Representing multiplication situations with models and converting between representations of multiplication

• Understanding the value of each digit in a three-digit number 

• Reading and writing numbers up to 1,000 in standard form, word form, and expanded form

• Foundational knowledge of comparing 2 three-digit numbers

• Rounding numbers to the nearest ten and hundred

• Adding two- and three-digit numbers by using a variety of strategies, including the standard algorithm

• Subtracting two- and three-digit numbers by using a variety of strategies, including the standard algorithm

Modules 2 and 3 Prerequisite Skills

• Representing a multiple of 10 times a one-digit number in an variety of ways

• Students apply the distributive property as the break apart and distribute strategy to multiply 

• Foundational knowledge of how to use an area model to find products 

• Students divide two-digit and three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers by using the break apart and distribute strategy 

Modules 4 and 5 Prerequisite Skills

• Understanding parts of a fraction and properly representing 

• Fractions on a number line 

• Conceptual understanding of equivalent fractions 

• Comparisons are only valid if fractions refer to the same whole 

• Comparing fractions using visual models 

Module 6 Prerequisite Skills

• Identify a fraction  as the quantity formed by  parts of size .

• Classify shapes by their attributes and identify shared attributes between shapes.
