Unit 12: STAAR Review
Essential Questions
Where do I see or use math in my world?
What kinds of problems can I solve using mathematics?
What do good problem solvers do, especially when they get stuck?
When and why should we estimate?
How do I decide when I can solve a problem mentally and when I need to use a tool?
How do I decide which tools and techniques to use when solving problems?
How can I use different representations to communicate mathematical ideas?
What are the limits of different mathematical models and representations?
How can I convince myself and others that my mathematical ideas are correct?
Students will be able to…
*apply mathematics to solve a variety of word problems.
*use a problem solving model that incorporates given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem solving process and the reasonableness of the solution.
*analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas.
*select tools and techniques to solve problems.
*communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate.
*create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
*display, explain, and justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication.

- 5.3E solve for products of decimals to the hundredths, including situations involving money, using strategies based on place-value understandings, properties of operations, and the relationship to the multiplication of whole numbers;
- 5.3G solve for quotients of decimals to the hundredths, up to four-digit dividends and two-digit whole number divisors, using strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm;
- 5.3I represent and solve multiplication of a whole number and a fraction that refers to the same whole using objects and pictorial models, including area models;
- 5.3K add and subtract positive rational numbers fluently;
- 5.3L divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.
Spiral Review TEKS: Problem Solving every day
- This unit is a spiral review to prepare for STAAR so there are no additional spiral review TEKS.
