Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Apply the concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using manipulatives.
- Use base ten blocks to represent the numbers in the distributive property (for example, 4 (9 + 2) would look like nine blocks plus two blocks repeated four times).
20 + 12 = 4 (5 + 3)
- Draw a picture representing the distributive property.
- Use the distributive property to write simple expressions using area.
- Understand that when using the distributive property, all of the numbers inside the parentheses are multiplied by the number outside the parentheses.

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. |
