Unit 4
The main purpose of Unit 4 is to develop division concepts. We will be reviewing basic division facts, introduce algorithms, and extend understanding of division to decimals, including division of decimals by whole numbers. The four main areas of focus in Unit 4 are:
- review multiplication and division facts and apply basic facts to division with 1-digit divisors
- review and practice the partial-quotient division algorithm with whole numbers
- use the partial-quotients algorithm to divide decimals by whole numbers
- practice solving division number stories and interpreting the remainder

Unit 2
Unit 2 covers three topics; estimation, computation, and data analyses.Algorithms for addition, subtraction, and multiplication are reviewed and extended to decimals. We will also continue to emphasize data analysis and probability as it links to data gathering. Students will also extend their understanding of numbers. Over the course of this unit we will use various methods to complete addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems, review chance events, make estimates, and understand the relative sizes of 1 million, 1 billion, and 1 trillion.

Dear Parents,
Here is a "Do Anytime Activities" for Unit 1. They will reinforce the skills and concepts your child is learning at school.
- ask your child to name as many factors as possible for a given number such as 24 (1,24, 2, 12, 3, 8, 4, 6). To make sure the factors are correct, your child can multiply them with a calculator.
