Students will practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing monetary amounts using decimals to the hundredths place.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 4

MA19.4.22
Use the four operations to solve measurement word problems with distance, intervals of time, liquid volume, mass of objects, and money.

Vocabulary

Operations
Distance
Intervals of time
Liquid volume
Mass
Number line diagram
Measurement scale

Knowledge

Students know:

Relative sizes of units within one system of measurement.
Strategies to solve word problems involving the four operations.
Measurement units in the same system are multiplicatively related.

Skills

Students are able to:

Solve measurement word problems
Involving distance, intervals of time, liquid volume, mass, and money.
Involving measurement conversion of larger units to a smaller unit.
Involving simple fractions or decimals.
Using diagrams to represent measurement quantities and solutions.

Note: Quantities and operations are limited to grade 4 standard expectations.

Understanding

Students understand that:

Relationships among units within a system of measurement are multiplicative comparisons.
The size of the unit of measurement and the number of units are inversely related.
Addition and subtraction of measurements require measurements in the same unit and that the common unit is maintained in the answer.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 5

MA19.5.8
Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationships between addition/subtraction and multiplication/division; relate the strategy to a written method, and explain the reasoning used.

Vocabulary

Decimal
Tenths
Hundredths
Place value

Knowledge

Students know:

Strategies based on place value understanding, properties, and relationship between operations to find the sum, difference, product, and quotient of whole numbers.
How to write decimal notation for fractions with denominators of 10 or 100.
Use estimation strategies to assess reasonableness of answers.

Skills

Students are able to:

Use concrete models, drawings, and strategies to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals.
Relate strategies for operations with decimals to a written method and explain reasoning used.
Solve real-world context problems involving decimals.

Understanding

Students understand that:
Problems involving operations with decimals

Can be solved using a variety of strategies based on place value, properties of operations, or the relationship between the operations.
Can be illustrated using concrete models or drawings.
