reasoning.
1.Developing understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing understanding of dividing to findrepeated
quotients
involving
multi-digit dividends
Students generalize their understanding of place value to 1,000,000, understanding the relative sizes of numbers in each place. They apply
their understanding of models for multiplication (equal-sized groups, arrays, area models), place value, and properties of operations, in particular
the distributive property, as they develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to compute products of multi-digit
whole numbers. Depending on the numbers and the context, they select and accurately apply appropriate methods to estimate or mentally
calculate products. They develop fluency with efficient procedures for multiplying whole numbers; understand and explain why the procedures
work based on place value and properties of operations; and use them to solve problems. Students apply their understanding of models for
division, place value, properties of operations, and the relationship of division to multiplication as they develop, discuss, and use efficient,
accurate, and generalizable procedures to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends. They select and accurately apply appropriate methods to
estimate and mentally calculate quotients, and interpret remainders based upon the context.
2.Developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, multiplication of
fractions by whole numbers
Students develop understanding of fraction equivalence and operations with fractions. They recognize that two different fractions can be equal
(e.g., 15/9 = 5/3), and they develop methods for generating and recognizing equivalent fractions. Students extend previous understandings about
how fractions are built from unit fractions, composing fractions from unit fractions, decomposing fractions into unit fractions, and using the
meaning of fractions and the meaning of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
3.Understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular
sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry
Students describe, analyze, compare, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Through building, drawing, and analyzing two-dimensional shapes,
students deepen their understanding of properties of two-dimensional objects and the use of them to solve problems involving symmetry.

Grade 4
Grade 5
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
3.OA.1: Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the
total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For
example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can
be expressed as 5 × 7.
3.OA.2: Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret
56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are
partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56
objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For
example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a
number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
3.OA.3: Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word
problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and
measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations
with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
(Note: See Glossary, Table 2.)
3.OA.4: Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or
division equation relating three whole numbers. For example,
determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in
each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = 􀃍 ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.
Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between
multiplication and division.
3.OA.5: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.
(Note: Students need not use formal terms for these properties.)
Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known.
(Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found
by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 =
30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 =
40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) +
(8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
3.OA.6: Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example,
find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied
by 8.
Multiply and divide within 100.
3.OA.7: Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as
the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g.,
knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of
operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all
products of two one-digit numbers.
Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain
patterns in arithmetic.
3.OA.8: Solve two-step word problems using the four operations.
Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing
for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers
using mental computation and estimation strategies including
rounding. (Note: This standard is limited to problems posed with
whole numbers and having whole-number answers; students
should know how to perform operations in the conventional order
when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order -Order of Operations.)
Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
4.OA.1: Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret
35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7
times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative
comparisons as multiplication equations.
4.OA.2: Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving
multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations
with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem,
distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive
comparison. (Note: See Glossary, Table 2.)
4.OA.3: Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and
having whole-number answers using the four operations,
including problems in which remainders must be interpreted.
Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing
for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers
using mental computation and estimation strategies including
rounding.
Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.
4.OA.4: Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100.
Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors.
Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is a
multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given
whole number in the range 1–100 is prime or composite.
Generate and analyze patterns.
4.OA.5: Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule.
Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in
the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the
starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and
observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even
numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to
alternate in this way.
Write and interpret numerical expressions.
5.OA.1: Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions,
and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
5.OA.2: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers,
and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them.
For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then
multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 +
921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to
calculate the indicated sum or product.
Analyze patterns and relationships.
5.OA.3: Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify
apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form
ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two
patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For
example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and
given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate
terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in
one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other
sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Assessment for Learning
Classroom Assessment for Student Learning
(by Rick Stiggins, Judith Arter, Stephen Chappuis, and Jan Chappuis)
makes the distinction between assessment
of and for learning.
 The purpose of assessment of learning is to
summarize the achievement status of individuals
and groups at a point in time.
• "assessment of learning“ "summative assessment"
• Classroom-level summative assessment usually
have grade or a statement of level of mastery.
Assessment for Learning
With CASL the major focus is assessment
for learning—
 Research shows that assessment for learning
practices can dramatically improve student
motivation and learning.
 Assessment for learning strategies address the
information needs of both teachers and students.
