The students will use strategies and models to solve two digit addition and subtraction problems with and without regrouping within 100. They will also apply these strategies and models when solving one-step word problems with unknowns in all positions.
In this unit, students learn about translations, reflections, and rotations in the plane and how to use them to define the concept of congruence. They will learn to use and apply knowledge of rigid motions to determine similarity and congruence when solving real world problems. They will learn to identify a sequence of transformation that will map a figure onto itself. Students will learn to prove/disprove similarity/congruence using translations, reflections and rotations. Students will learn to use knowledge of angle pairs, degrees of a triangle and exterior angles to solve for missing angles. Students will learn to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing sides of a triangle, find distance in the coordinate plane, and solve real-world problems.
Students will describe, identify and sort items in their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation, spatial relations) and vocabulary. They will use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their environment and to construct construct two dimensional and three dimensional shapes.
Students will study the civil rights movement and the Great Society and they were attempts by people and the government to address major social, legal, economic, and environmental problems. Additionally, students will investigate how the subsequent economic recession called for a new economic program.
Students explore what plants and animals need to live, grow and thrive. They learn how plants and animals depend on each other, and how humans can impact the environment they live in.
Students explore how plant and animal structures are used to help them survive, how they are similar and different. They learn how these structures are used to communicate between parents and offspring to help with survival. Students learn how young plants and animals can look similar to their parents, but also can vary in many ways.
In Part I students explore the similarities and differences between plant and animal life cycles, how traits are inherited from parents, and how the environment can influence the inheritance of those traits. In Part II students study how the organisms in an ecosystem impact and depend on each other for survival.
Students will deepen their understanding of parts and wholes. They will begin to learn about unit fractions and non-unit fractions and how to represent them and compare them. They will also start thinking about equivalent fractions.
Students examine how animals and plants depend on each other for survival. They explore areas where plants and animals live on land and in water, and how each area is made up of many different kinds of living things.
Students will identify and analyze arguments from multiple texts by locating supporting evidence. Students will synthesize multiple viewpoints of the same topic to communicate their argument. Students will create an argumentative piece with a clear claim and relevant supporting evidence.
