Using the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication, we can make many different numbers. F...

Students create four-legged walking robots and measure how far they travel across different types of surfaces. They design and create "shoes" to add to the robots' feet and observe the effect of their modifications on the net distance traveled across the various surface types. This activity illustrates how the specialized locomotive features of different species help them to survive or thrive in their habitat environments. The activity is best as an enrichment tool that follows a lesson that introduces the concept of biological adaptation to students.

The purpose of this game is to help students think flexibly about numbers and operations and to record multiple operations using proper notation.

Students quantify the percent of light reflected from solutions containing varying concentrations of red dye using LEGO© MINDSTORMS© NXT bricks and light sensors. They begin by analyzing a set of standard solutions with known concentrations of food coloring, and plot data to graphically determine the relationship between percent reflected light and dye concentration. Then they identify dye concentrations for two unknown solution samples based on how much light they reflect. Students gain an understanding of light scattering applications and how to determine properties of unknown samples based on a set of standard samples.

Students work as engineers and learn to conduct controlled experiments by changing one experimental variable at a time to study its effect on the experiment outcome. Specifically, they conduct experiments to determine the angular velocity for a gear train with varying gear ratios and lengths. Student groups assemble LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots with variously sized gears in a gear train and then design programs using the NXT software to cause the motor to rotate all the gears in the gear train. They use the LEGO data logging program and light sensors to set up experiments. They run the program with the motor and the light sensor at the same time and analyze the resulting plot in order to determine the angular velocity using the provided physics-based equations. Finally, students manipulate the gear train with different gears and different lengths in order to analyze all these factors and figure out which manipulation has a higher angular velocity. They use the equations for circumference of a circle and angular velocity; and convert units between radians and degrees.

In Module 2 students apply patterns of the base ten system  to mental strategies and a sequential study of multiplication via area diagrams and the distributive property leading to fluency with the standard algorithm.  Students move from whole numbers to multiplication with decimals, again using place value as a guide to reason and make estimations about products. Multiplication is explored as a method for expressing equivalent measures in both whole number and decimal forms.  A similar sequence for division begins concretely with number disks as an introduction to division with multi-digit divisors and leads student to divide multi-digit whole number and decimal dividends by two-digit divisors using a vertical written method.  In addition, students evaluate and write expressions, recording their calculations using the associative property and parentheses.  Students apply the work of the module to solve multi-step word problems using multi-digit multiplication and division with unknowns representing either the group size or number of groups.  An emphasis on the reasonableness of both products and quotients, interpretation of remainders and reasoning about the placement of decimals draws on skills learned throughout the module, including refining knowledge of place value, rounding, and estimation.

Grade 5’s Module 4 extends student understanding of fraction operations to multiplication and division of both fractions and decimal fractions.  Work proceeds from interpretation of line plots which include fractional measurements to interpreting fractions as division and reasoning about finding fractions of sets through fraction by whole number multiplication.  The module proceeds to fraction by fraction multiplication in both fraction and decimal forms.  An understanding of multiplication as scaling and multiplication by n/n as multiplication by 1 allows students to reason about products and convert fractions to decimals and vice versa.  Students are introduced to the work of division with fractions and decimal fractions.  Division cases are limited to division of whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.  Decimal fraction divisors are introduced and equivalent fraction and place value thinking allow student to reason about the size of quotients, calculate quotients and sensibly place decimals in quotients.  Throughout the module students are asked to reason about these important concepts by interpreting numerical expressions which include fraction and decimal operations and by persevering in solving real-world, multistep problems which include all fraction operations supported by the use of tape diagrams.

En el módulo 2, los estudiantes aplican patrones del sistema Base Ten a las estrategias mentales y un estudio secuencial de multiplicación a través de diagramas de área y la propiedad distributiva que conduce a la fluidez con el algoritmo estándar. Los estudiantes se mueven de números enteros a multiplicación con decimales, nuevamente utilizando el valor del lugar como guía para la razón y hacer estimaciones sobre los productos. La multiplicación se explora como un método para expresar medidas equivalentes tanto en el número entero como en las formas decimales. Una secuencia similar para la división comienza concretamente con discos numéricos como una introducción a la división con divisores de múltiples dígitos y lleva al estudiante a dividir los dividendos de número entero y decimales de múltiples dígitos por divisores de dos dígitos utilizando un método escrito vertical. Además, los estudiantes evalúan y escriben expresiones, registrando sus cálculos utilizando la propiedad asociativa y los paréntesis. Los estudiantes aplican el trabajo del módulo para resolver problemas de palabras de varios pasos utilizando multiplicación y división de múltiples dígitos con incógnitas que representan el tamaño del grupo o el número de grupos. El énfasis en la razonabilidad de los productos y los cocientes, la interpretación de los restos y el razonamiento sobre la colocación de decimales se basa en las habilidades aprendidas en todo el módulo, incluido el conocimiento del valor del lugar, el redondeo y la estimación.

Módulo 4 de grado 5 extiende la comprensión del estudiante de las operaciones de fracción a la multiplicación y la división de fracciones y fracciones decimales. El trabajo procede de la interpretación de los gráficos de línea que incluyen mediciones fraccionales para interpretar las fracciones como división y razonamiento sobre la búsqueda de fracciones de conjuntos a través de la fracción por multiplicación de números enteros. El módulo procede a la fracción por multiplicación de fracción en formas de fracción y decimal. Una comprensión de la multiplicación como escala y multiplicación por N/N como multiplicación por 1 permite a los estudiantes razonar sobre productos y convertir fracciones en decimales y viceversa. Los estudiantes son presentados al trabajo de división con fracciones y fracciones decimales. Los casos de división se limitan a la división de números enteros por fracciones unitarias y fracciones unitarias por números enteros. Se introducen divisores de fracción decimal y la fracción equivalente y el pensamiento del valor del lugar permiten al alumno razonar sobre el tamaño de los cocientes, calcular los cocientes y colocar decimales con sensatez en los cocientes. A lo largo del módulo, se les pide a los estudiantes que razonen sobre estos conceptos importantes interpretando expresiones numéricas que incluyen operaciones de fracción y decimales y perseverar en la resolución de problemas de varios pasos en el mundo real que incluyen todas las operaciones de fracción compatibles con el uso de diagramas de cintas.
