Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Using manipulatives, multiply a number by a whole number (for example, take two different colored groups of manipulatives and add additional equal groups until the two groups contain the same amount).
- Identify multiples of whole numbers using a hundreds chart with markers.
- Compare the multiples of two numbers to find the least common multiple (compare the multiples of 2 [2, 4, 6] and 6 [6, 12, 18] to find 6).
- 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. |
