Measuring Volume
Find volume of rectangular prisms.
- Develop concept of volume measurement using cubic units.
- Levels begin with simple 3-D objects composed of cubic units, then advance to finding volume using dimensions of rectangular prisms.
- Use a multiplication formula for finding volume.
Levels:
Order of Operations Using Parentheses
Use parentheses in expressions to build visual models.
- Understand the use of parentheses in determining order of operations.
- Given a visual model, determine the order of operations for generating the model.
- Levels begin with two-step expressions using addition and multiplication, then progress to multi-step operations.
Levels:
Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators
Develop strategies for adding fractions with unlike denominators.
- Use visual fraction models to create common denominators for adding fractions with unlike denominators.
- Levels begin with modeling sums of fractions with like denominators, then advance to creating visual models using both unlike denominators for partitioning an area model.
Levels:
Coordinate Trap
Plot points on a coordinate plane and write ordered pairs.
- Plot points in a coordinate plane given an ordered pair.
- Write ordered pairs given a point on a coordinate plane.
- Feedback animates the role of ordered pairs in plotting points.
Levels:
Fraction Multiplication on Number Lines
Estimate products of fractions and whole numbers on a number line.
- Develop concepts and strategies for multiplying fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by fractions.
- Multiplication of a fraction by a whole number can be modeled by iterating a given fraction.
- Multiplying a whole number by a fraction can be modeled by dividing the whole number by denominator and multiplying by numerator.
Levels:
Measurement Conversion
Convert within customary units of volume
- Convert within customary units of volume: Gallons, Quarts, Pints, Cups.
- Levels begin with simple conversions of 1 larger unit to smaller units, then advance to converting fractional amounts of a larger unit to smaller units ( 1 ½ gallons = __ cups).
