Description
In this course, students will multiply and divide multi-digit whole numbers using different strategies and a standard algorithm. The course provides the opportunity for students to see the relationship between fractions and decimals and introduces addition and subtraction of each. Using a protractor to draw and measure angles is another focus of the course. Other targeted activities include learning about measurement and using median, mode, and range as ways to interpret data. This engaging course gives students plenty of opportunities to use critical-thinking, problem-solving, literacy and math skills.

Students will need the following materials: cell phone to take photos, videos, or audio recordings of student work, or a scanner to scan and submit student work, coloring materials (crayons, markers, colored pencils), storage space on your computer and an external device to back up your files (flash drive, external hard drive, etc.), erasers, general household objects for activities, glue, headset or earbuds, lined paper, notebook or binder for course resources, pencils and pens, printer, printer paper, protractor, ruler, scissors, stapler, tape
Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple-choice questions, writing assignments, projects, oral assessments, and discussions. Core courses will use the state-approved grading scale and Special Area courses will use an S or U grading scale.
