In Unit 3 of Math 5, students will focus on the ways in which fractions, decimals, and percents express a relationship between numbers and how operation strategies with fractions, decimals, and percents are similar to those used with whole numbers.  Students will be able to

·         read, write, and represent interchangeably simple fractions, decimals, and percents using symbols, words, and models.

·         compare and order fractions in equivalent forms, including improper fractions and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators.

·         compare and order decimals to the thousandths place and describe them using place value concepts.

·         use models and pictures to illustrate multiplying a whole number by a decimal number.

·         add and subtract fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

·         multiply and divide decimals by whole numbers.

·         apply a variety of strategies to solve problems with fractions, decimals, and percents.

·         use estimation to solve problems with fractions and decimals.
