5th Grade Students Learning 5 G/T Standards
Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4

 

Report Card Measurement Topic: Demonstrates understanding of algebraic thinking, expressions, and equations.

 

 

Learning Targets (I can)

  • Create equivalent expressions by applying the distributive property.
  • Create equivalent expressions by combining like terms.
  • Create equivalent expressions by factoring.
  • Identify equivalent expressions without evaluating them.
  • Expand or simplify linear expressions with rational coefficients.
  • Explain how quantities in an expression are related to the context of the problem situation.
  • Represent real-world scenarios with expressions.

 

About the Math

Students use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions by applying properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients. Students understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem of how the quantities are related.
