Unit 1:  Number Relations

Time Frame:  3 Weeks

 

 

Math > Grade 5 > Unit 1

 

Unit Description

Number Relations helps students develop a thorough understanding of place value and the magnitude of numbers.  Students will develop an understanding of numbers, learn to make reasonable estimates, continue to become computationally fluent, and develop an understanding of different ways to represent numbers.

 

Enduring Understandings

·         Our number system includes numbers that are more meaningful than others.

·         Knowing the characteristics of numbers helps me solve problems.

·         I understand the world better if I know how to read, write, and compare numbers.

 

Essential Questions

·         How can these numbers influence my decisions?

·         Why is it important to know how numbers can be described?

·         How does knowing the make-up of numbers help me make decisions about strategies in problem solving?

·         How does number knowledge assist me in life?
