Determine and justify solutions for multi-step word problems, including problems where remainders must be interpreted.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

Context situations represented by the four operations.
How to calculate sums, differences, products, and quotients.
Estimation strategies to justify solutions as reasonable.

Skills

Students are able to:

Solve multi-step word situations using the four operations.
Represent quantities and operations physically, pictorially, or symbolically.
Write equations to represent the word problem and use symbols to represent unknown quantities.
Use context and reasoning to interpret remainders.
Use estimation strategies to assess reasonableness of answers by comparing actual answers to estimates.

Understanding

Students understand that:

Using problem solving strategies will help them determine which operation to use to solve a problem.
Remainders must be interpreted based on the context, and remainders are sometimes ignored, rounded up, or partitioned.
