Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

• Probability and predictions help us determine and support reasonable solutions.

• Communicating mathematical reasoning helps justify solutions.

Essential Questions are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

• Why is it important to understand probability?

• How does prediction help us determine reasonable answers?

• Why is the vocabulary of probability important? (most likely, least likely, equally likely, certain, impossible, outcomes)

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 - May

Identify place value in decimals to hundredths

Identify and compare fractional parts of a collection of objects.

Identify place value to millions.

Give equivalent names for numbers, expanded notation to one million.

Standard 2: Patterns and Algebra - May

Complete patterns of shapes and numbers (5^th grade CSAP test item).

Recognize and continue a geometric pattern (5^th 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).

Use, explain, and demonstrate an understanding of the four basic operations in real world, problem-solving situations.

Standard 3: Data and Graphs - May

Predict, determine and support which outcomes are most likely, least likely or equally likely from flipping a coin, spinning a spinner with 4 congruent sectors, and rolling a number cube.

Standard 4: Geometry - May

Identify lines of symmetry, lines of reflection, reflected figures and figures with line symmetry.

Recognize geometric shapes and concepts in other curricula.

Standard 5: Measurement - May

Use a ruler to measure distance (5^th grade CSAP test item).

Determine the appropriate unit of measure (metric and US customary) when estimating distance, capacity, and weight.

Standard 6: Computation - May

Use, explain, draw a bi-linguistic representation and demonstrate the understanding of the 4 basic operations.

Determine from a real-world problem when an estimate or exact sum, difference, product or quotient is acceptable.

Review computation of whole numbers without context (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) (5^th grade standard and CSAP test item).
