Number Sense and Numeration
Overall Expectations
• represent,compare,and order equivalent representations of numbers,including those involving positive exponents;
• solve problems involving whole numbers,decimal numbers,fractions,and integers,using a variety of computational strategies;
• solve problems by using proportional reasoning in a variety of meaningful contexts.
Measurement
Overall Expectations
• research,describe,and report on applications of volume and capacity measurement;
• determine the relationships among units and measurable attributes,including the area of a circle and the volume of a cylinder.
Geometry and Spatial Sense
Overall Expectations
• demonstrate an understanding of the geometric properties of quadrilaterals and circles and the applications of geometric properties in the real world;
• develop geometric relationships involving lines,triangles,and polyhedra,and solve problems involving lines and triangles;
• represent transformations using the Cartesian coordinate plane,and make connections between transformations and the real world.
Patterning and Algebra
Overall Expectations
• represent linear growing patterns (where the terms are whole numbers) using graphs, algebraic expressions,and equations;
• model linear relationships graphically and algebraically,and solve and verify algebraic equations,using a variety of strategies,including inspection,guess and check,and using a “balance”model.
