Students will compare fractions with unlike denominators to determine whether a given answer to a real-world problem is correct using context and computational skills.

The students will engage in group activities to solve word problems with and without models as well as writing equations.

Students determine by using fractions which fourth-grade teacher ran the farthest. 

Students create input-output tables to find numerical patterns and relationships in the real world through the process of making lemonade.

Students will collaboratively solve two-step real-world word multiplication and division problems by using a checklist.  Students will also solve a two-step word problem by completing a hands-on group activity. 
 

Students will represent fractions in multiple ways, such as pattern blocks, fraction strips, and number lines.

Students will be able to creatively and confidently solve one-and two-step problems involving multiplication and division, including interpreting the remainder. In addition, students will be working collaboratively by using critical thinking and activating prior knowledge to solve math operation skills in a real-world situation.

Students will work collaboratively to solve six real-world multiplication problems and earn puzzle pieces they can put together to reveal a phone number they can call to escape the classroom.

Students will be able to understand how to determine the numerical relationship of numbers in a function table.

The students will add and subtract fractions with like denominators using a real-world scenario problem about pizza dough.

This lesson is designed to allow students to use strip diagrams, standard algorithms (long division), partial product, partial quotient, or area models to solve multi-step equations.

Students will explore frequency tables, dot plots, and stem and leaf plots by creating different representations from a given set of data points.

In this activity, students will consider a real-world scenario requiring them to compare two fractional amounts using a number line. Through the use of the number line and peer collaboration, students will recognize equivalency in the two fractional quantities and effectively communicate their understanding of this concept.

Students solve one-step and multi-step problems, including multiplication and remainders, by engaging in a real-world story problem, using a graphic organizer of their choice.

Using a pet store theme, students will work in groups to solve real-world problems to grasp the concept of multi-step multiplication and division word problems.
 

This lesson focuses on multi-step word problems involving division along with addition or subtraction. The students chunk word problems into each individual step and learn how to choose a familiar strategy.

Students will learn how to use an input-output table using real-world examples.

Students will construct a dot plot using data collected on the faces of a cube after it is rolled. Students will then use a key to change the data to represent a larger population.
