Course Description

This is unit 1 of 8 units. The sequence of units is available in the Read Me First Materials in each unit.

Section A: Interpret and Represent Data on Scaled Graphs
In this section, students will make sense of and draw picture graphs and bar graphs. Students will work with scales of 2, 5, and 10 (where each picture or step represents 2 objects, 5 objects, or 10 objects).
Section B: From Graphs to Multiplication
In this section, students will use the idea of "each picture representing multiple objects" to think about equal-size groups and learn about multiplication. Students will create drawings and tape diagrams to represent situations that involve equal-size groups. Students will find unknown factors and products in equations.
Section C: Represent Multiplication with Arrays and the Commutative Property
In this section, students will connect the equal-group representations to arrays. Students will look for equal-size groups in arrays. Students will write expressions to represent arrays.
