Unit Overview |
---|
Content Focus –This unit focuses on addition and subtraction and continues the development of computational fluency. Students build on what they’ve learned about the base-ten system, and work with the standard algorithm for addition. They continue to explore various strategies for addition and subtraction and work with larger numbers. |
Looking Back…Students bring with them the ability to solve 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction problems. It is expected that all student know the single digit addition combinations and the related subtraction facts fluently. Students should have a good understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction. |
Looking Forward…In 5th grade students will have one more unit on addition and subtraction where they will apply their understanding to work on problems with up to 6 digit numbers. They will formalize their understanding by using the standard algorithm for subtraction.
