5th Grade: Units 8-13 What makes our products so unique? Our products are meticulously designed by experts to ensure mastery of the STAAR test, employing a detailed and multifaceted program: Math Vocabulary and Guided Questions: Each unit introduces new math vocabulary and guided questions that can serve as the objective of the day or daily goals for teachers. This approach enhances understanding and application of mathematical concepts and terms, facilitating clearer communication and deeper learning. Unit Year Planning: Our curriculum breaks down each TEK into manageable segments, scaffolding learning for complete mastery. This methodical approach allows students to fully understand each part of the TEK as it is taught throughout the lessons, making the process more straightforward for educators. Daily Spirals: We have structured our math program to ensure continuous review by revisiting all previously taught skills each week, thus ensuring mastery. Normally, by the 7th unit, students are reviewing over 15 skills bi-weekly, covering all material from the first four units. (HIghlight daily spiral by teks. Problem Solving Process: Each unit introduces students to a thought-provoking problem-solving process that stirs curiosity and enhances analytical thinking skills. Problem Solving Questions: Beyond the daily spirals, each lesson features problem-solving questions, also known as Problem of the Day (P.O.D.) questions, that reinforce the previously taught lesson's skills. Vertically Aligned Pre-Assessments: Our approach begins each unit with a succinct pre-assessment that aligns vertically with the new TEKs introduced, enabling focused and effective learning. Guided Practice: Every unit includes guided practice sections designed to effectively teach new TEKs/Skills. These can be utilized alongside our engaging animated instructional videos, enhancing the learning experience. Skill Building/Independent Practice: Lessons are designed to strengthen students’ math skills and problem-solving abilities through word problems, including STAAR 2.0 questions marked by a small star symbol. Homework: We incorporate homework into the lessons to enable students to reinforce the concepts and skills learned in the classroom at home. Games: Each unit contains fun and educational games that reinforce the skills learned in each lesson, making learning enjoyable and effective. Checkpoints: At the end of each lesson, checkpoints feature a writing exercise and a problem-solving question to assess comprehension and consolidate learning. Practice and Unit Assessments: Reflecting the STAAR test's rigor, each unit includes a practice assessment and a comprehensive unit assessment featuring STAAR 2.0 questions. Standards: 5.3I Represent and solve multiplication of a whole number and a fraction that refers to the same whole using objects and pictorial models, including area models. 5.3J Represent division of a unit fraction by a whole number and the division of a whole number by a unit fraction such as 1/3 ÷ 7 and 7 ÷ 1/3 using objects and pictorial models, including area models.5.3L Divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.5.3A Determine solutions to mathematical and real-world problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. 5.8A Describe the key attributes of the coordinate plane, including perpendicular number lines (axes) where the intersection (origin) of the two lines coincides with zero on each number line and the given point (0, 0); the x‐coordinate, the first number in an ordered pair, indicates movement parallel to the x‐axis starting at the origin; and the y-coordinate, the second number, indicates movement parallel to the y‐axis starting at the origin. 5.8B Describe the process for graphing ordered pairs of numbers in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. 5.8C Graph in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane ordered pairs of numbers arising from mathematical and real‐world problems, including those generated by number patterns or found in an input‐output table.5.4D Recognize the difference between additive and multiplicative numerical patterns given in a table or graph. 5.4C Generate a numerical pattern when given a rule in the form y = ax or y = x + a and graph. 5.5(A) Classify two‐dimensional figures in a hierarchy of sets and subsets using graphic organizers based on their attributes and properties. 5.6(A) Recognize a cube with side length of one unit as a unit cube having one cubic unit of volume and the volume of a three‐dimensional figure as the number of unit cubes (n cubic units) needed to fill it with no gaps or overlaps if possible. 5.6(B) Determine the volume of a rectangular prism with whole number side lengths in problems related to the number of layers times the number of unit cubes in the area of the base. 5.4(H) Represent and solve problems related to perimeter and/or area and related to volume. 5.7(A) Solve problems by calculating conversions within a measurement system, customary or metric. 5.9(A) Represent categorical data with bar graphs or frequency tables and numerical data, including data sets of measurements in fractions or decimals, with dot plots or stem-and-leaf plots. 5.9(B) Represents discrete paired data on a scatterplot. 5.9(C) solve one- and two-step problems using data from a frequency table, dot plot, bar graph, stem-and-leaf plot, or scatterplot. 5.10(A) Can you define income tax, payroll tax, sales tax, and property tax? 5.10(B) Could you explain the distinction between gross income and net income? 5.10(E) What are some actions that could be taken to address a budget imbalance when expenses surpass income? 5.10(F) Can you demonstrate how to balance a basic budget? 5.3(E) Can you solve for products of decimals to the hundredths, including situations involving money, using strategies based on place-value understandings, properties of operations, and the relationship to the multiplication of whole numbers? 5.3(G) Can you solve for quotients of decimals to the hundredths, up to four-digit dividends and two-digit whole number divisors, using strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm? 5.3(K) Can you add and subtract fractions fluently?
