This task allows students to explore and reason about how two multiplication equations compare to each other. This is remixable by adding student work or you can upload a new task aligned to the same standard.
This document includes explanations of estimation strategies expected in Grade 5.
In this lesson, students will convert numerical expressions into unit form as a mental strategy for multi-digit multiplication.
In this lesson, students will fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm and using estimation to check for reasonableness of the product.
In this lesson, students will fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm to solve multi-step word problems.
In this lesson, students will use whole number multiplication to express equivalent measurements.
In this lesson, students will use decimal multiplication to express equivalent measurements.
Students will brainstorm ways that they use and waste natural resources. Also, they will respond to some facts about population growth and how people use petroleum. Lastly, students will consider the different ways that engineers interact with and use our natural resources.
Students can learn to visualize the effects of multiplying a fixed positive number by positive numbers greater than 1 and less than 1 with this tool. Using interactive figures, students can investigate how changing the height of a rectangle with a fixed width changes its area. e-Math Investigations are selected e-examples from the electronic version of the Principles and Standards of School Mathematics (PSSM). The e-examples are part of the electronic version of the PSSM document. Given their interactive nature and focused discussion tied to the PSSM document, the e-examples are natural companions to the i-Math investigations.
Students are introduced to the International Space Station (ISS) with information about its structure, operation and key experiments. The ISS itself is an experiment in international cooperation to explore the potential for humans to live in space. The space station features state-of-the-art science and engineering laboratories to conduct research in medicine, materials and fundamental science to benefit people on Earth as well as people who will live in space in the future.
Students will use mental computation in order to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers.
For this task, students find the product of 3 single-digit numbers using strategies.
Students solve multiplication and division problems by using place value and compensation strategies.
Students are asked to analyze a new method or “trick” for multi-digit multiplication. The method is based on a combination of decomposing numbers, functions, and the distributive property of multiplication over addition (in which the standard algorithm is based). This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

This About the Cluster document was written by the authors of the NC2ML instructional Frameworks. This document provides information about the major mathematical ideas and strategies in Grade 5 Cluster 2. This is not remixable since it is written by the authors of the NC2ML Instructional Frameworks.
This homework brief has been written by NC2ML. It provides research-based ideas about how homework can be beneficial and how parents can support their students in areas related to math at home. It cannot be remixed.
Using new knowledge acquired in the associated lesson, students program LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots to go through a maze using movement blocks. The maze is created on the classroom floor with cardboard boxes as its walls. Student pairs follow the steps of the engineering design process to brainstorm, design and test programs to success. Through this activity, students understand how to create and test a basic program. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and worksheet are provided.
