General Information
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.
Test Item Specifications
Items may only have 5-digit dividends divided by 2-digit divisors or 4-digit dividends divided by 2- or 3-digit divisors. Numbers in items are limited to non-decimal rational numbers.

Lesson Plans
Name | Description |
Cracking the Code: A Division Challenge | In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of division and division strategies to solve problems that have been written in a code where numbers are replaced with symbols. The students are challenged to find out how the traditional algorithm strategy works and how it compares to other strategies they already know. Students are also charged with creating a list of mathematical tools that help make solving division problems easier. |
Dividing Decimals Investigations | In this introductory lesson, students test how the basic operations performed on the dividend and divisor affect the quotient of a pair of numbers. Students then conclude whether the results of their trials can be applied to solve problems with a decimal divisor. |
