1.6 Write tenths and hundredths in decimal and fraction notations and know the fraction and decimal equivalents for halves and fourths (e.g., 1/2 = 0.5 or .50; 7/4 = 1 3/4 = 1.75).
1.7 Write the fraction represented by a drawing of parts of a figure; represent a given fraction by using drawings; and relate a fraction to a simple decimal on a number line.
Negative Numbers
1.8 Use concepts of negative numbers (e.g., on a number line, in counting, in temperature, in "owing").
Number Line
1.9 Identify on a number line the relative position of positive fractions, positive mixed numbers, and positive decimals to two decimal places.

Decimal Numbers
2.1 Estimate and compute the sum or difference of whole numbers and positive decimals to two places.
2.2 Round two-place decimals to one decimal or the nearest whole number and judge the reasonableness of the rounded answer.
Cathch the crooked decimal.

Computing Numbers
3.1 Demonstrate an understanding of, and the ability to use, standard algorithms for the addition and subtraction of multidigit numbers.
3.2 Demonstrate an understanding of, and the ability to use, standard algorithms for multiplying a multidigit number by a two-digit number and for dividing a multidigit number by a one-digit number; use relationships between them to simplify computations and to check results.
3.3 Solve problems involving multiplication of multidigit numbers by two-digit numbers.
3.4 Solve problems involving division of multidigit numbers by one-digit numbers.
4.0 Students know how to factor small whole numbers:
Factoring
4.1 Understand that many whole numbers break down in different ways (e.g., 12 = 4 x 3 = 2 x 6 = 2 x 2 x 3).
4.2 Know that numbers such as 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11 do not have any factors except 1 and themselves and that such numbers are called prime numbers.
ALGEBRA & FUNCTIONS
1.0 Students use and interpret variables, mathematical symbols, and properties to write and simplify expressions and sentences:
Variables
1.1 Use letters, boxes, or other symbols to stand for any number in simple expressions or equations (e.g., demonstrate an understanding and the use of the concept of a variable).
Order of Operations
1.2 Interpret and evaluate mathematical expressions that now use parentheses.
1.3 Use parentheses to indicate which operation to perform first when writing expressions containing more than two terms and different operations.
Formulas
1.4 Use and interpret formulas (e.g., area = length x width or A = lw) to answer questions about quantities and their relationships.
1.5 Understand that an equation such as y = 3 x + 5 is a prescription for determining a second number when a first number is given.
2.0 Students know how to manipulate equations:
2.1 Know and understand that equals added to equals are equal.
2.2 Know and understand that equals multiplied by equals are equal.
MEASUREMENT & GEOMETRY
1.0 Students understand perimeter and area:
Perimeter and Area (Watch the video)Area & Perimeter
1.1 Measure the area of rectangular shapes by using appropriate units, such as square centimeter (cm2), square meter (m2), square kilometer (km2), square inch (in2), square yard (yd2), or square mile (mi2).
1.2 Recognize that rectangles that have the same area can have different perimeters.
1.3 Understand that rectangles that have the same perimeter can have different areas.
1.4 Understand and use formulas to solve problems involving perimeters and areas of rectangles and squares. Use those formulas to find the areas of more complex figures by dividing the figures into basic shapes.
2.0 Students use two-dimensional coordinate grids to represent points and graph lines and simple figures:
The Coordinate Grid
2.1 Draw the points corresponding to linear relationships on graph paper (e.g., draw 10 points on the graph of the equation y = 3 x and connect them by using a straight line).
2.2 Understand that the length of a horizontal line segment equals the difference of the x- coordinates.
2.3 Understand that the length of a vertical line segment equals the difference of the y- coordinates.

Shapes
3.6 Visualize, describe, and make models of geometric solids (e.g., prisms, pyramids) in terms of the number and shape of faces, edges, and vertices; interpret two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects; and draw patterns (of faces) for a solid that, when cut and folded, will make a model of the solid.

2.1 Represent all possible outcomes for a simple probability situation in an organized way (e.g., tables, grids, tree diagrams).
2.2 Express outcomes of experimental probability situations verbally and numerically (e.g., 3 out of 4; 3 /4).
MATHEMATICAL REASONING

3.1 Evaluate the reasonableness of the solution in the context of the original situation.
3.2 Note the method of deriving the solution and demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the derivation by solving similar problems.
