Solve problems or word problems using equations for cases in which the quantities in the problem are positive rational numbers.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Recognize the intended outcome of a word problem without an operation.
  • Combine (+) or decompose (-) with concrete objects; use counting to get the answers.
  • Combine (x) or decompose (÷) with concrete objects; use counting to get the answers.
  • Match the action of combining with vocabulary (i.e., in all; altogether) or the action of decomposing with vocabulary (i.e., have left; take away, difference) in a word problem.
  • Match the action of combining with vocabulary (i.e., in all; altogether) or the action of decomposing with vocabulary (i.e., have left; take away) in a word problem; division: Sharing or grouping numbers into equal parts; multiplication: the result of making some number of copies of the original.
Representation:
  • Draw or use a representation of a word problem.
  • Understand the symbols +, -, ÷, =, ×.
  • Identify the purpose to find a total (sum for addition or product for multiplication), remaining amount (difference for subtraction), or one component (number of sets or number within each set-dividend or divisor for division), depending upon the words in the problem.
  • Translate wording into numeric equation.

Cluster: Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities. (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.
