We will be very busy learning many new things in math this year! We will learn how to divide, find patterns, describe 3-D objects, new ways to add and subtract, find the area and perimeter, and lots more!

Everyday Math Online
This is a great site for your child to visit. They will receive their log-in at the beginning of the school year. The site has games that the students can play to improve their math skills. The site also has parent letters and homework. The site is correlated with the Everyday Math program that we are implementing at school!

Throughout the year we will be recording the data for a date of the week- what is the sun rise time that day? what is the sun set time that day? The students will then be calculating how long that day is!

Unit 1: Math Tools, Time and Multiplication
The organization of Everyday Mathematics is based on the observation that children learn best when they build on prior knowledge. Unit 1 suggest a number of review activities for mathematics that children have encountered in earlier grades. Unit 1 also establishes routines meant to be used all year to promote an active and cooperative learning environment.

Unit 2: Number Stories and Arrays
In this unit students will be solving one and two step number stories (word problems) that involve all four mathematic operations. They could use diagrams, arrays, pictures, words and number models to represent the problems. This unit will help students improve their problem-solving strategies and further understanding that problems can be solved in more than one way!
In Unit 2 students will ...
Unit 2 vocabulary
In Unit 2 students will ...
- use basic facts to add and subtract larger numbers
- solve change, comparison and parts-and-total number stories
- solve multistep number stories using two or more operations
- understand multiplication in terms of equal groups
- use pictures and arrays to solve multiplication and division problems
- understand division as sharing quantities
- make sense of remainders in division problems

Unit 3: Operations
In this unit students will add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers using a variety of problem-solving strategies and computational skills. Everyday Mathematics encourages children to choose from any of the methods explored in this unit, or invent their own computation methods. When children create and share their own ways of computing instead of simply learning one method, they begin to realize that problems can be solved in more than one way. They are more willing and able to take risks, think logically, and produce more reasonable answers.
In Unit 3, children will...
- Describe rules for patterns and use them to solve problems.
- Estimate to check whether their answers are reasonable.
- Add using the partial-sums and column-addition methods. Subtract using the counting-up and expand-and-trade methods.
Unit 4: Measurement and Geometry
In this unit children learn to make more precise measurements as they measure lengths, including perimeters, to the nearest half inch. Children will generate measurement data by measuring their shoe lengths and body parts, and they will represent the data on line plots. They will further explore attributes of polygons that help define shape categories such as quadrilaterals. Children develop an understanding of the area of rectangles and square units. They find areas by counting unit squares, repeatedly adding composite units, and multiplying side lengths. Through solving real-world and abstract problems, children will explore ways to find the perimeters of polygons and calculate the areas of rectilinear figures.
In Unit 4, children will:
- Measure to the nearest centimeter and 1/2 inch.
- Generate and represent measurement data on a line plot.
- Review characteristics of polygons.
- Sort quadrilaterals into categories based on defining attributes.
- Measure perimeters of rectangles.
- Distinguish between perimeter as a measure of
distance around and area as a measure of the
amount of surface within the boundaries of a 2-dimensional shape. - Find the areas of rectangles using composite units.
- Write multiplication number sentences that show how to find areas of rectangles.
- Develop strategies for finding area and perimeter.
- Find the areas of real-world rectilinear figures by partitioning figures into rectangles.
