Interactive Learning: Children will use place-value blocks to subtract three-digit numbers. 18-8: Subtraction: Subtracting Three-Digit Numbers Essential Understanding: The standard subtraction algorithm for three-digit numbers breaks the calculation into simpler calculations using place values starting with the ones, then the tens, and then the hundreds. Interactive Learning: Children will use paper and pencil to subtract three-digit numbers. 18-9: Problem Solving: Make a Graph Essential Understanding: Some problems can be solved by making, reading, and analyzing a graph. Interactive Learning: Children will use data from a table to make a bar graph.
Topic 19: Multiplication Concepts 19-1: Multiplication: Repeated Addition and Multiplication Essential Understanding: Repeated addition involves joining equal groups and is one way to think about multiplication. Interactive Learning: Children model multiplication using repeated addition to write number sentences and solve problems. 19-2: Multiplication: Building Arrays Essential Understanding: An array involves joining equal groups and is one way to think about multiplication. Interactive Learning: Children will use counters to build arrays and then use the arrays to help write multiplication sentences. 19-3: Multiplication: Writing Multiplication Stories Essential Understanding: Some real-world situations involve repeated addition or arrays and can be solved using multiplication. Interactive Learning: Children will draw pictures and write multiplication stories to find products. 19-4: Multiplication: Vertical Form Essential Understanding: Multiplication expressions can be represented horizontally or vertically. Interactive Learning: Children use equal groups of counters to write multiplication in horizontal and vertical forms. 19-5: Multiplication: Multiplying in Any Order Essential Understanding: Two numbers can be multiplied in any order. Interactive Learning: Children rotate arrays to see that numbers can be multiplied. 19-6: Problem Solving: Draw a Picture and Write a Number Sentence Essential Understanding: Information in a problem can often be shown using a diagram and used to solve the problem. Some problems can be solved by writing and completing a number sentence or equation. Interactive Learning: Children draw pictures as a way to solve problems.
Topic 20: Division Concepts and Facts 20-1: Division: Division as Sharing Essential Understanding: Sharing involves separating equal groups and is one way to think about division. Interactive Learning: Children will use counters to divide a set of objects into equal groups. 20-2: Division: Division as Repeated Subtraction Essential Understanding: Repeated subtraction involves separating equal groups and is one way to think about division. Interactive Learning: Children will use counters and repeated subtraction to find the number of equal groups into which a set of objects can be divided. 20-3: Division: Writing Division Stories Essential Understanding: Some real-world situations involve repeated subtraction or sharing and can be solved using division. Interactive Learning: Children will draw a picture and write a story for a division sentence. 20-4: Division: Relating Multiplication and Division Essential Understanding: Multiplication and division have an inverse relationship. Interactive Learning: Children will make arrays using counters and write a multiplication and related division sentence for them. 20-5: Problem Solving: Make a table and Look for a Pattern Essential Understanding: Some problems can be solved by recording and organizing data in a table and by finding and using numerical patterns in the table. Interactive Learning: Children make input/output tables to solve problems.
