The math program we use is called Everyday Math, a curriculum developed by the University of Chicago Mathematics Project. The curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards
for Mathematics.
Unit 4: Multi-digit Multiplication
In this unit, students are introduced to the basic principles of multi-digit multiplication by focusing on extending multiplication skills and exploring the partial-products method. They use their knowledge of multiplication to find the areas of rectangles and to convert units of measurement.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
Numbers and Operations- Fractions

The lessons and activities also provide opportunities to engage children in the Common Core mathematical practices and to foster the attitude and habits of mind of those who know and enjoy mathematics and use it effectively.

In this unit, students are introduced to the basic principles of multi-digit multiplication by focusing on extending multiplication skills and exploring the partial-products method. They use their knowledge of multiplication to find the areas of rectangles and to convert units of measurement.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
- students will solve multiplicative comparison stories using multiplication
- students will be able to make sense of and articulate a plan for solving multi-step number stories involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and assess the reasonableness of their answers by comparing them to an estimate.
Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
- students will be able to read and identify places in numbers through hundred-thousands, read and write number names through millions, read and write numbers in expanded form through millions, compare and order multi-digit whole numbers, and record comparisons through millions.
- students will be able to use and explain the standard algorithm to add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers.
Numbers and Operations- Fractions
- students will use a preferred model to represent decimals to hundredths, name decimals using base-10 numerals, and translate between decimal notation and fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

Common Core
Mathematical Practices:
- 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
- 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- 4. Model with mathematics.
- 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
- 6. Attend to precision.
- 7. Look for and make use of structure.
- 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Math Games
Everyday Mathematics uses games as an engaging way for students to
get the frequent practice required to build strong mental arithmetic skills and fact power.
