The Number System
• apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and
division to divide fractions by fractions.
• Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common
factors and multiples.
• apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the
system of rational numbers.
The four critical areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole
number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to
solve problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and
extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which
includes negative numbers; (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions
and equations; and (4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.
Expressions and Equations
• apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to
algebraic expressions.
• reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.
• represent and analyze quantitative relationships between
dependent and independent variables.
