● Practice problems are provided to reinforce what is taught in the passage.
● Each book features 15 different topics and includes a teacher resource CD-ROM with a modifiable version of each passage in text format and full-color versions of the texts and image files.
● 144 pages each.
● CCSS Product Alignment 4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100.
● Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors.
● Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number.
● Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.
● 4.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.
● For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
● 4.NBT.5 Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations.
● Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
● 4.NF.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n x a)/(n x b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size.
● Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
● 4.NF.2 Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2.
● Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole.
● Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
● 4.NF.3a Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole 4.NF.3d Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.
● 4.NF.4a Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b.
● For example, use a visual fraction model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 x (1/4), recording the conclusion by the equation 5/4 = 5 (1/4).
● 4.NF.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size.
● Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole.
● Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
● 5.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
● 5.NBT.3a Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 7 x 1 + 3 x (1/10) + 9 (1/100) + 2 (1/1000).
● 5.NBT.3b Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
● 5.NBT.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction, relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
● 5.NF.3 Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b).
● Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
● For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4.
● If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get?
● Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?
● 6.NS.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
● 6.NS.4 Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12.
● Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.
● For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).
● 6.NS.6c Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram, find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
● 6.NS.7b Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts.
● For example, write -3 °C > -7 °C to express the fact that -3 °C is warmer than -7 °C.
● 7.NS.1b Understand p + q as the number located a distance ~q~ from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative.
● Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses).
● Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
● 7.NS.1c Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p - q = p + (-q).
● Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.
● 7.NS.1d Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers.
● 7.NS.2a Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (-1)(-1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers.
● Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
● 7.NS.2c Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
● 7.NS.2d Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division, know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.
● 7.NS.3 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.
● 7.EE.3 Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically.
● Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form, convert between forms as appropriate, and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies.
● For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50.
● If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge, this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
