Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Using manipulatives to separate two given sets into the largest possible evenly divided groups, with each group containing the same number (e.g., 12 manipulatives will have three groups of 4; 8 manipulatives will have 2 groups of 4).
- Identify multiples of whole numbers using a hundreds chart with markers.
- Identify factors of whole numbers using a hundreds chart with markers.
- Understand related vocabulary (factor, multiple, least, common).

Cluster:
Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples. (Additional Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
