Math - Units 5 & 6
Unit 5: Big Numbers, Estimation, and Computation
We learned how to extend our knowledge of multiplication by adding zeroes. This was a challenge, since we sometimes got confused about placing the zeroes. We learned some cool ways to multiply using the Partial Products and Lattice Methods.

Partial Products Multiplication Strategy
|
In this unit, we learned how to multiply with big numbers by breaking it down with extended multiplication. 20x10 = 200
The partial products method helps to break down the task of multiplying big numbers together. All we have to do is to make sure we add it up correctly. |
PicCollage Number Stories
To show our understanding of multiplication number stories (word problems), we created PicCollage representations using images.

Unit 6: Division; Map Reference Frames; Measures of Angles
We further developed our understanding of multiplication and division number stories through PicCollage. We learned an easier way to divide using the Partial Quotients Method. Many of us found it easier to use. We also learned how to measure angles using a full and half protractor. We also had fun using coordinate grids on maps.

Partial Quotients Division Method
This method helps us to break down big division problems a lot easier. We used extended multiplication to solve these problems too.
To best understand this method, you need to know how to multiply by 10s, 5s, and 2s. |
