Unit 9
Putting It All Together
Unit Goals
- Students consolidate and solidify their understanding of various concepts and skills related to major work of the grade. They also continue to work toward fluency goals of the grade.
Unit Narrative
In this unit, students revisit major work and fluency goals of the grade, applying their learning from the year.
In Section A, students reinforce what they learn about comparing fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, and multiplying fractions and whole numbers. In Section B, they strengthen their ability to add and subtract multi-digit numbers fluently, using the standard algorithm. They also multiply and divide numbers by reasoning about place value and practice doing so strategically.
Here are the times of the runners for two teams.
Which team won the relay race?
| runner | Diego’s team, time (seconds) | Jada’s team, time (seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ||
| 2 | ||
| 3 | ||
| 4 |
In Section C, students practice making sense of situations and solving problems that involve reasoning with multiplication and division, including multiplicative comparison and interpreting remainders. In the final section, students review major work of the grade as they create activities in the format of the Warm-up routines they have encountered throughout the year (Estimation Exploration, Number Talk, and Which Three Go Together?).
The sections in this unit stand alone and are not required to be completed in order. Within a section, lessons also can be completed selectively, without completing prior lessons. The goal is to offer ample opportunities for students to integrate the knowledge they have gained and to practice skills related to the expected fluencies of the grade.
