  • 5.3L divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers. – R RC2
    • 5.3J represent division of a unit fraction by a whole number and the division of a whole number by a unit fraction such as 1/3 ÷ 7 and 7 ÷ 1/3 using objects and pictorial models, including area models; – S RC2
Numeracy TEKS

Add and Subtract Rational Numbers (Whole Numbers and Fractions) (Suggested: 12 days)

  • 5.3K add and subtract positive rational numbers fluently; – R RC2 [whole numbers and fractions]

    Order of Operations (Suggested: 2 days)

    Spiral Review TEKS

    Grade 4 Input-Output Tables (Suggested: 8 days)

    • 4.5B represent problems using an input-output table and numerical expressions to generate a number pattern that follows a given rule representing the relationship of the values in the resulting sequence and their position in the sequence; – R RC2

    Grade 4 Geometry – Attributes of 2-D Figures (Suggested: 8 days)

    4.6D classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. – R RC3

    • 4.6A identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines; – S RC3
    • 4.6B identify and draw one or more lines of symmetry, if they exist, for a two-dimensional figure; – S RC3
    • 4.6C apply knowledge of right angles to identify acute, right, and obtuse triangles; and – S RC3
