This lesson completes the conceptual understanding of dividing with fractions by using it with real life problems.
What do you get when you divide 1/4 by 1/2? What does your answer actually mean? Students continue building their skills and strategies in order to divide fractions by fractions.
How do you divide decimals by decimals? How can your estimation and number sense skills help you? Students work on answering these questions as they continue their work with dividing decimals.
Using calculators allows students to experiment and to discover patterns, in this case resulting in a divisibility rule for the number 4.
SWBAT show their understanding of the divisibility rules.
Students will work with calculators to discover the divisibility rules.
Students read fractional amounts and measure food to make a trail mix.
Students will be able to use estimation to increase fluency when calculating decimal problems.
Modeling volume with centimeter cubes deepens understanding of the formula for finding volume.
Students develop their knowledge of factors.
Students use their understanding of composing and decomposing shapes to cover a given area. Today's lesson is bringing together many of the geometric skills from previous lessons.
In this lesson students can use different strategies to find the GCF of numbers less than 100.
The LCM is a useful tool to use when comparing fractions and finding common denominators.
Students often confuse skip counting with finding a rule or pattern for a given set of numbers. Here, they focus on how one number relates to the next and extend the pattern to determine the rule.
Students gather simple data, represent it on a bar graph, and answer simple, complex, and open-ended questions about the data.
Conduct an investigation collaboratively on the effect of force applied on an object to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, by using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials are considered.
Students recognize what it means to fold a paper in half, but do they recognize how to create fourths or thirds?
Creating a conceptual understanding of how to find the volume of rectangular prisms using fractional side lengths.
Students collaborate on a greatest common factor and least common multiple project.
Students find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of numbers.
