1.) Developing fluency with adding and subtracting fractions as well as developing understanding of multiplying and dividing fractions

2.) Extending division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimal fractions into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to the hundredths, as well as developing fluency with whole number and decimal operations

3.) Developing understanding of volume

Unit 1 focused on the study of volume. It begins with a review and extends to a host of skills and concepts related to multiplication. Expressions are used with parentheses, students will find the surface area of boxes, as well as develop multi-digit multiplication strategies that will help them to solve real-world problems.
