Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Add and subtract integers (e.g., use manipulatives, a number line or calculator to add 2 + -5).
- Use manipulatives to demonstrate what an exponent represents (e.g., 8³ = 8 × 8 × 8).
- Produce the correct amount of base numbers to be multiplied given a graphic organizer or template.
- Understand the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary: base number, exponent, integer.
- Select the correct expanded form of what an exponent represents (e.g., 8³ = 8 × 8 × 8).
- Identify the number of times the base number will be multiplied based on the exponent.
- Understand that a negative exponent will result in a fraction with a numerator of 1 (for example,
= 1/25).

Cluster:
Work with radicals and integer exponents. (Major 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. |
