Grade 5: April Unit
Data, Computation, and Equivalents
(@ 20 days)

Overview
View the Video Introduction. In April of fifth grade, you will review and expand your knowledge of computation, data and graphs, and number sense. You will learn to use and explain strategies to construct various displays of data given a set of data; review computation of whole numbers and decimals in problem solving situations; represent  fractions, decimals, percents and their equivalents; apply order of operations; and review computation of whole numbers without context in all operations.   

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

  • Data displays help us make sense of information in our world.
  • There is more than one effective way to solve a problem.
  • Computation with decimals and money/pay rates prepares us for real life.

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

  • How can I solve this problem in other ways?
  • What are the ways to get information from different data displays?
  • Why is computational fluency important in life?
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

Read, write, order, locate, and compare positive fractions, and decimal numbers to hundredths (including on a number line).

Read, write and locate on a number line rational numbers with whole number place value to billions and decimal place value to hundredths.

Order and compare negative numbers.

Standard 2: Patterns and Algebra - April

Recognize and continue a geometric and/or numeric pattern (6th grade item).

Translate written words into algebraic form (6th grade item).

Recognize, explain and extend linear (i.e., ascending or descending pattern) and non-linear (i.e., use the rule of 4+3-2) patterns in a problem solving situation.

Standard 3: Data and Graphs - April

Organize and construct displays of data including tables, charts, pictographs, line plots, bar graphs, circle graphs and line graphs from a given set of data using appropriate tools including technology and pencil/paper.

Read data from tables, charts, pictographs, line plots, bar graphs, circle and line graphs with categorical (i.e., number of pets) and numerical (i.e., heights of buildings) data.

Distinguish between median and mode of a set of data.

Identify mean, median, mode and range of data.

Standard 4: Geometry - April

Identify, compare, and analyze two-dimensional shapes by attributes (acute angles, obtuse angles, right angles, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, intersecting lines, congruence, similarity, rays, lines, line segments, etc.)

Standard 5: Measurement - April

Select and use the appropriate unit and tool to measure to the degree of accuracy required in a particular problem.

Identify the essential components of mathematical real-world problems using area, perimeter and symmetry.

Standard 6: Computation - April

Review computation of whole numbers without context (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).

Add and subtract decimals in problem-solving situations (6th grade item).

Use, explain and demonstrate the understanding of addition and subtraction operations in problem solving situations, then justify those results with correct computations.

Parents

Share with your fifth grader the everyday mathematics you use in your job and at home. The practical application of mathematics to life will help your child see the need to learn mathematics. When you balance the checkbook, make a family budget, or decide what to buy at the grocery or clothing store, include your child as much as possible. Share your methods of figuring sale prices or percents off the regular price. "Think out loud" as you round prices to the next dollar amount, then ask if the money you have allotted for the shopping trip will cover the amounts you are considering spending. Allowing your child to participate as you use mathematics in common daily situations will help them make sense of the concepts. It will make using mathematics a natural, non-threatening part of their day and strengthen their confidence in mathematics class.
