ILC 5th Grade Mathematics: Unit 8 Putting It All Together

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

• Section A - Multiply and Divide Whole Numbers
  Students deepen their understanding of the standard algorithm for multiplication and practice using it. They recognize and explain place value patterns when multiplying multi-digit numbers, learn how to use the algorithm when one or more of the factors has several zeroes, and examine an alternative recording method for newly composed units.
• Section B - Apply Volume Concepts
  Students investigate volume by calculating the volume of rectangular prisms and estimating the number of books in a library. Students solve problems in a real-world context and consider what it means to measure volume using different units.
• Section C - Fraction and Decimal Operations
  Students operate with fractions and decimals. Each lesson is structured as a game day where students learn games for adding and subtracting fractions, adding and subtracting decimals, and multiplying fractions.
• Section D - Creation and Design
  Students have the opportunity to apply what they've learned about instructional routines throughout the year to create their own Notice and Wonder, Exploration Estimation, Number Talk, True or False, and Which One Doesn't Belong. Students design and create routines in small-groups and can facilitate their routine with another group in the class. Each lesson has a content focus provided, so students review major work of the grade through their routines.
