Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use manipulatives and a frame, jig, or template to express the calculation (i.e., “add 8 and 7”).
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary for parentheses ( ), equations, =, +, -, ÷, ×.

Number: MAFS.5.OA.1.AP.2a Category: Access Points
Cluster: Write and interpret numerical expressions. (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.

Name Description
MAFS.5.OA.1.2: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
