Jan 26, 2016 - With the concept of ratio equivalence formally defined, students explore collections of equivalent ratios in real world contexts in Topic B.  They build ratio tables and study their additive and...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic D, students are introduced to percent and find percent of a quantity as a rate per 100.  Students understand that N percent of a quantity has the same value as N/100 of that quantity. ...

Jan 26, 2016 - Prior to division of decimals, students will revisit all decimal operations in Topic B.  Students have had extensive experience of decimal operations to the hundredths and thousandths (5.NBT.7),...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic D, students think logically about multiplicative arithmetic.  Students apply odd and even number properties and divisibility rules to find factors and multiples.  They extend this...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic B, students apply their understanding of a rational number’s position on the number line (6.NS.C.6c) to order rational numbers.  Students understand that when using a conventional horizontal...

Jan 26, 2016 - To begin this module, students are introduced to important identities that will be useful in solving equations and developing proficiency with solving problems algebraically.  In Topic A, students...

Jan 26, 2016 - Students represent letters with numbers and numbers with letters in Topic C.  In past grades, students discovered properties of operations through example (1.OA.B.3, 3.OA.B.5).  Now, they use letters...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic E, students express operations in algebraic form.  They read and write expressions in which letters stand for and represent numbers (6.EE.A.2).  They also learn to use the correct...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic G, students are introduced to the fact that equations have a structure similar to some grammatical sentences.  Some sentences are true:  “George Washington was the first president of the...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic A, students use composition and decomposition to determine the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons.  They determine that area is additive.  Students learn through...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Grade 5, students recognized volume as an attribute of solid figures.  They measured volume by packing right rectangular prisms with unit cubes and found that determining volume was the same as...
