Standards Alignments:
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.6: Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to 4-digit dividends and 1-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.5: Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.MD.C.3: Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures, and understand concepts of volume measurement.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.A.2: Represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.C: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.D: Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
