This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about multiplying and dividing.

This grade 5 unit of number and operations lessons explores multiplying and dividing decimals through 8 hands-on activities and 8 worksheets.

This 5 unit of number and operations lessons explores long division through 2 hands-on activities.

This is one possible way to use the partial quotient strategy for division.

In this video, 5th grade students use the partial quotient division strategy to solve a 3-digit by 1-digit division problem. While this class begins with a brain dump, it is not necessary.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about four operations - missing operation.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students explore George's strategy and need to determine how to help him. This is remixable.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between the speed of a wooden toy car at the bottom of an incline and the height at which it is released. They observe how the photogate-based speedometer instrument "clocks" the average speed of an object (the train). They gather data and create graphs plotting the measured speed against start height. After the experiment, as an optional extension activity, students design brakes to moderate the speed of the cart at the bottom of the hill to within a specified speed range.

This resource is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. This document provides an overview and descriptions of estimation strategies common in Grade 5, Cluster 2. This is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson, students will create story context that yield different remainder interpretations from the same expression. This is remixable.

This lesson is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. In this lesson, students will explore how decomposing the dividend can help them divide large numbers. This is remixable.

This Common Formative Assessment is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. It aligns to the multiplication and division concepts in Grade 5 Cluster 2. Teachers can give the assessment at one time or split the items up and have students work on them during the whole cluster. This is remixable but please maintain the level of rigor and an answer key.

Students learn the history of the waterwheel and common uses for water turbines today. They explore kinetic energy by creating their own experimental waterwheel from a two-liter plastic bottle. They investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work, and experiment with how weight affects the rotational rate of the waterwheel. Students also discuss and explore the characteristics of hydroelectric plants.

In this activity, students develop an understanding of how engineers use wind to generate electricity. They will build a model anemometer to better understand and measure wind speed.
