Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
-
Patterns help us make sense of our world.
-
Fractions and decimals are parts of a whole.
-
Digits have different values according to their place
value.
-
Measurement
tools help us solve a variety of problems.
Essential Questions
are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer
after completing learning activities.
-
How can patterns (shape, number, and geometric) help
us solve problems?
-
Why
can we say that all of math patterns?
-
Explain how decimals and fractions are parts of a
whole?
-
How are fractions and decimals alike and different?
-
Explain how we use the various tools of measurement.
CSAP
Tested Standards
Highest Frequency
 High
Frequency
 Other
Standards and E-Skills
Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and
level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these
skills will must be demonstrated in multiple test items on CSAP at
this grade level.
High
Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of
accountability is high because mastery of these skills will be
tested at this grade level.
Other
Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are
not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can
experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive
towards mastery. |
Standard 1: Number Sense
- April
Identify place value in
decimals to hundredths
Identify and compare
fractional parts of a collection of objects.
 Identify place value to
millions
Standard 2: Patterns and
Algebra - April
Complete patterns of
shapes and numbers (5th grade CSAP test item).
Recognize and continue a
geometric pattern (5th grade CSAP test item).
Use Function/Rate tables
to observe and explain how a change in one quantity can produce a change in
another (e.g. the relationship between the number of bicycles and the number
of wheels).
Standard 3: Data and
Graphs
- April
 Use statistical landmarks,
organize, construct, read and interpret tables, line plots, bar graphs and
pictographs.
Standard 4: Geometry
- April
Recognize geometric
shapes and concepts in other curricula.
Standard 5: Measurement
- April
Use a ruler to measure
distance (5th grade CSAP test item).
Choose appropriate units
of measure for length, area, volume, capacity, weight, temperature, and/or
time to solve problems.
Explain clearly the
strategy used and the solution to mathematical and real-world problems
through written and oral communication.
Standard 6: Computation
- April
Review computation of
whole numbers without context (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division) (5th grade standard and CSAP test item).
Given a real-world problem solving situation, use an
appropriate method to solve the problem (for example, choose which basic
operation will solve a problem and then calculate the problem using said
operation).
Explain clearly the
strategy used and the solution to mathematical and real-world problems
through written and/or oral communication.

Parents
Consider supporting your fourth grader in fourth quarter mathematics using
the following no-cost, high fun activities. Use money to help them
understand the hundredths place in decimals. ($.25 is 25 out of a hundred
pennies or a dollar) Next time you bake or buy a dozen cookies or doughnuts,
point out a fractional part of the whole dozen. (1/3 of a dozen = 4; 1/4 of
a dozen = 3; 1/2 of a dozen = 6; 1/6 of a dozen = 2) Start patterns with
geometric shapes or numbers and ask your child to continue the pattern. Take
turns creating and continuing the patterns. Have your child measure lengths
for a household project using a ruler, yardstick, or tape measure. Help
them know where to start and how to read the measurement. Explain what 5/8
of an inch means and where it is on the measuring tool. Play games that use
spinners, dice, or flipping a coin and have your child predict the outcome.
A ruler from WalMart: $.49. A dozen doughnuts: $3.99. Helping your child
understand math in a fun and practical way: Priceless!
