ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS Every whole number greater than one is either a prime number or can be uniquely
factored as a product of primes.ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS How can a number be broken into its smallest factors? How can you find a common multiple of two or more numbers?CONCEPT KNOWLEDGE AND PROCESS Multiples of a number are the number multiplied by any whole number. Start the multiples of a number by multiplying it by 1.ERROR INTERVENTIONIF students are not sure how to begin
finding the least common multipleTHEN consider writing the first five multiples of
each number. If the LCM does not appear, extend the list until a common multiple appears.
IF students have trouble identifying multiples of a number
THEN consider hanging sentence strips of multiples to which students can refer or allow students to use a multiplication matrix.

ERROR INTERVENTIONIF students don’t know their basic
multiplication factsTHEN consider hanging sentence strips with multiples to
which students can refer until they master them.IF students have difficulty
remembering which number is the numerator and which is the denominator
THEN consider this memory association technique: in a fraction, one number is UP above the line and one is DOWN below the line. Numerator has a “u” in it so it goes above the line. Denominator begins with “d” so it goes below the line.
IF students have difficulty converting the denominator of a fraction to 100

To add or subtract fractions or mixed numbers with unlike denominators, change the
number sentence to a simpler one with like denominators.ERROR INTERVENTIONIF students add or subtract the
denominators before finding common denominators
THEN consider telling them that fractions must have common denominators in order to be added together.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS Computation involves taking and combining numbers using a variety of strategies. Flexible methods of computation involve grouping numbers in a variety of ways. Sums and differences of numbers less than 19 provide a foundation for number concepts.ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS What happens to a quantity when a number is composed in a different way? What strategies can be used for finding sums and differences? What are strategies for mastering the basic facts?CONCEPT KNOWLEDGE AND PROCESS Subtraction is the operation of taking away, removing, or comparing to find differences or the
amount of the number decreases. Numbers in the same place value can be combined or subtracted. Regrouping does not change the amount, but rather groups it differently.ERROR INTERVENTIONIF students are making mistakes
because they are not lining up the digits properly
THEN consider using grid paper to write digits in the squares so the digits are lined up correctly.
IF students have trouble with the concept of regrouping
THEN consider going back to the place-value mats and using manipulatives to model bringing a ten over from the tens place, breaking it up, and giving it to the ones.
IF students regroup for every exercise THEN consider using the mnemonic Bigger Bottom Trade, or Smaller on Top? Stop and Trade!
Unit 14: Concept 1Subtract Whole Numbers
IF students regroup the wrong column or don’t regroup when they should
THEN consider having them using the mnemonic, “More on the floor, go next door.” The student circles the larger number in each place; if the circle is on the bottom, they draw an arrow to the number at the top, “next door.”

partial products. Multiplication is repeated addition and is related to division.ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS What strategies aid in mastering multiplication and division facts?

How can knowledge of place value help with multiplication and division of large numbers?CONCEPT KNOWLEDGE AND PROCESS Multiplication is the operation of repeated addition of the same number.ERROR INTERVENTIONIF students have trouble keeping track
of multiple regroupingTHEN consider having them cross out regroupings
for ones before proceeding to multiply by tens and then write a zero underneath the ones digit in their partial product.

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS Fractions can be compared using a variety of models. Fractions express a relationship between two numbers.ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS How is the ordering of fractions the same as ordering whole numbers and how is it different? How are the numerator and denominator related? How can the fractional parts of a set be modeled? How can fractions be modeled using numerals, regions, sets, and number lines?CONCEPT KNOWLEDGE AND PROCESS A fraction is an EQUAL part of a whole or EQUAL part of a group. The numerator is the number of equal parts you have or want; the denominator is the TOTAL
number of equal parts in the whole. A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction. When comparing and ordering fractions with unlike numerators and denominators,
equivalent fractions can be found with a common denominator.ERROR INTERVENTIONIF students have difficulty using different
strategies for ordering three or more fractions
THEN consider having them find a common denominator by using the least common multiple (LCM).
IF students have difficulty comparing two fractions
THEN consider having them multiply the denominators and using that as a common denominator.
IF students have difficulty comparing two fractions
THEN consider having them use fraction strips.
