Lesson 13: Let’s explore triangular numbers
Students will explore how triangular numbers can be represented in the form of a triangle, with dots or other symbols arranged in a triangular pattern. They will apply this information to answer a series of problem-solving questions.
Lesson 12: Let’s explore negative numbers
Students will introduce the concept that a negative number is any number that is less than zero and explore how they relate to positive numbers. Students will represent negative and positive numbers on a number line while playing a game called Dunk It.
Lesson 4: Let’s use split strategy to add decimals
Students will apply their split strategy knowledge to add decimal amounts and problem-solve. They will use the strategy to help animals choose what to pack based on their suitcase weight limit.
Lesson 11: Let’s explore the order of operations
Students will explore the order of operations using the PEMDAS strategy. The order of operations is applicable to many areas of computation and will be revisited throughout this year. Students will solve puzzles using PEMDAS.
Lesson 3: Let’s use bump strategy to add and subtract
Students will apply their knowledge of bump strategy addition and subtraction while playing a game called Stock Market Mania.
Lesson 2: Let’s use bump strategy to subtract mentally
Students will apply the skills from the previous lesson to subtract using bump strategy during this lesson. They will complete an activity that involves finding different animals’ power numbers.
Lesson 10: Let’s explore square numbers
Students will explore the concept of square numbers (multiplying a number by itself) and their relation to arrays. They will play a board game, called Square Squared, to practice representing and solving square numbers.
Lesson 9: Let’s explore powers of ten
Powers of ten are a mathematical concept that is used to represent numbers in an efficient manner. This lesson involves multiplying and representing amounts as powers of ten while completing superhero power profiles.
Lesson 8: Let’s round to the nearest tenth or hundredth
Students will round decimal numbers to the nearest tenth, hundredth and whole number. They will solve clues in order to find the other 3 members of the Cake Crew Criminals.
Lesson 1: Let’s use bump strategy to add mentally
Bump strategy is a strategy that manipulates an addition problem by adjusting one of the amounts to a round number, then doing the opposite to the other number to create an amount equal to the original number sentence. Students will use bump strategy to order food for customers and stay within their budgets.
