Students investigate the common misconception of adding numerators and denominators straight across, using visual models and estimation to prove why a common denominator is necessary for 'fair' addition.
A high-intensity industrial-themed review of 4th grade Number and Operations in Base Ten (NBT) standards. Covers place value relationships, multi-digit forms, rounding, addition/subtraction algorithms, and multiplication/division strategies.
A comprehensive slide deck covering measurement in inches (halves and fourths) and interpreting data on line plots, provided in both English and Japanese.
A cumulative review of all standards covered in the 10-day intensive program.
Strategies for solving two-step word problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication with unknowns.
Covers finding the perimeter of polygons, including finding unknown side lengths.
Uses partitioning of rectangles to illustrate the distributive property and additive nature of area.
Introduces area through tiling and relates it to multiplication of side lengths.
Focuses on comparing fractions with the same numerator by reasoning about the size of the denominator.
Teaches comparing fractions with the same denominator using area and length models.
Focuses on thirds and sixths using length models (number lines) to find equivalent fractions.
Covers composing and decomposing fractions into equivalent fractions using area models for halves, fourths, and eighths.
Focuses on expressing whole numbers as fractions and understanding that fractions with the same numerator and denominator equal one whole.
Students act as urban architects to design a town using quadrilaterals on a grid, calculating perimeter and area for their structures.
A comprehensive unit on finding the perimeter of various polygons, including unknown side lengths and real-world word problems, themed around architectural blueprints.
