Explanations and Examples
This standard builds on the expectations of third grade where students are expected to start learning the conventional order. Students need experiences with multiple
expressions that use grouping symbols throughout the year to develop understanding of when and how to use parentheses, brackets, and braces. First, students use these
symbols with whole numbers. Then the symbols can be used as students add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals and fractions.

Examples:
 (26 + 18) 4 Answer: 11
 {[2 x (3+5)] – 9} + [5 x (23-18)] Answer: 32
 12 – (0.4 x 2) Answer: 11.2
 (2 + 3) x (1.5 – 0.5) Answer: 5
 1 1 Answer: 5 1/6
6  
 2 3
 { 80 ÷ [ 2 x (3 ½ + 1 ½ ) ] }+ 100 Answer: 108

To further develop students’ understanding of grouping symbols and facility with operations, students place grouping symbols in equations to make the equations true or they
compare expressions that are grouped differently.

Examples:
 15 - 7 – 2 = 10 → 15 - (7 – 2) = 10
 3 x 125 ÷ 25 + 7 = 22 → [3 x (125 ÷ 25)] + 7 = 22
 24 ÷ 12 ÷ 6 ÷ 2 = 2 x 9 + 3 ÷ ½ → 24 ÷ [(12 ÷ 6) ÷ 2] = (2 x 9) + (3 ÷ ½)
 Compare 3 x 2 + 5 and 3 x (2 + 5)
Compare 15 – 6 + 7 and 15 – (6 + 7)

In fourth grade, students examined the relationships of the digits in numbers for whole numbers only. This standard extends this understanding to the relationship of decimal
fractions. Students use base ten blocks, pictures of base ten blocks, and interactive images of base ten blocks to manipulate and investigate the place value relationships. They
use their understanding of unit fractions to compare decimal places and fractional language to describe those comparisons.

Before considering the relationship of decimal fractions, students express their understanding that in multi-digit whole numbers, a digit in one place represents 10 times what it
represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

Continued on next page
A student thinks, “I know that in the number 5555, the 5 in the tens place (5555) represents 50 and the 5 in the hundreds place (5555) represents 500. So a 5 in the hundreds
place is ten times as much as a 5 in the tens place or a 5 in the tens place is 1/10 of the value of a 5 in the hundreds place.

To extend this understanding of place value to their work with decimals, students use a model of one unit; they cut it into 10 equal pieces, shade in, or describe 1/10 of that
model using fractional language (“This is 1 out of 10 equal parts. So it is 1/10”. I can write this using 1/10 or 0.1”). They repeat the process by finding 1/10 of a 1/10 (e.g., dividing
1/10 into 10 equal parts to arrive at 1/100 or 0.01) and can explain their reasoning, “0.01 is 1/10 of 1/10 thus is 1/100 of the whole unit.”

In the number 55.55, each digit is 5, but the value of the digits is different because of the placement.

5 5 . 5 5

The 5 that the arrow points to is 1/10 of the 5 to the left and 10 times the 5 to the right. The 5 in the ones place is 1/10 of 50 and 10 times five tenths.

Examples:
Students might write:
 36 x 10 = 36 x 101 = 360
 36 x 10 x 10 = 36 x 102 = 3600
 36 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 36 x 103 = 36,000
 36 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 36 x 104 = 360,000

Students might think and/or say:
 I noticed that every time, I multiplied by 10 I added a zero to the end of the number. That makes sense because each digit’s value became 10 times larger. To make a
digit 10 times larger, I have to move it one place value to the left.
 When I multiplied 36 by 10, the 30 became 300. The 6 became 60 or the 36 became 360. So I had to add a zero at the end to have the 3 represent 3 one-hundreds
(instead of 3 tens) and the 6 represents 6 tens (instead of 6 ones).
Students should be able to use the same type of reasoning as above to explain why the following multiplication and division problem by powers of 10 make sense.
 523  10 3  523,000 The place value of 523 is increased by 3 places.
 5.223  10  522 .3 The place value of 5.223 is increased by 2 places.

Students build on the understanding they developed in fourth grade to read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. They connect their prior experiences with using
decimal notation for fractions and addition of fractions with denominators of 10 and 100. They use concrete models and number lines to extend this understanding to decimals to
the thousandths. Models may include base ten blocks, place value charts, grids, pictures, drawings, manipulatives, technology-based, etc. They read decimals using fractional
language and write decimals in fractional form, as well as in expanded notation as show in the standard 3a. This investigation leads them to understanding equivalence of
decimals (0.8 = 0.80 = 0.800).

Example:
Some equivalent forms of 0.72 are:
72/100 70/100 + 2/100
7/10 + 2/100 0.720
7 x (1/10) + 2 x (1/100) 7 x (1/10) + 2 x (1/100) + 0 x (1/1000)
0.70 + 0.02 720/1000

When rounding a decimal to a given place, students may identify the two possible answers, and use their understanding of place value to compare the given number to the
possible answers.

Example:
Round 14.235 to the nearest tenth.
 Students recognize that the possible answer must be in tenths thus, it is either 14.2 or 14.3. They then identify that 14.235 is closer to 14.2 (14.20) than to 14.3 (14.30).

In prior grades, students used various strategies to multiply. Students can continue to use these different strategies as long as they are efficient, but must also understand and

Example:
123 x 34. When students apply the standard algorithm, they, decompose 34 into 30 + 4. Then they multiply 123 by 4, the value of the number in the ones place, and then multiply
123 by 30, the value of the 3 in the tens place, and add the two products.

In fourth grade, students’ experiences with division were limited to dividing by one-digit divisors. This standard extends students’ prior experiences with strategies, illustrations,
and explanations. When the two-digit divisor is a “familiar” number, a student might decompose the dividend using place value.

Example:
 Using expanded notation ~ 2682 ÷ 25 = (2000 + 600 + 80 + 2) ÷ 25
 Using his or her understanding of the relationship between 100 and 25, a student might think ~
o I know that 100 divided by 25 is 4 so 200 divided by 25 is 8 and 2000 divided by 25 is 80.
o 600 divided by 25 has to be 24.
o Since 3 x 25 is 75, I know that 80 divided by 25 is 3 with a reminder of 5. (Note that a student might divide into 82 and not 80)
o I can’t divide 2 by 25 so 2 plus the 5 leaves a remainder of 7.
o 80 + 24 + 3 = 107. So, the answer is 107 with a remainder of 7.

Using an equation that relates division to multiplication, 25 x n = 2682, a student might estimate the answer to be slightly larger than 100 because s/he recognizes that 25 x 100
= 2500.
Example: 968 ÷ 21

 Using base ten models, a student can represent 962 and use the models to make an array with one dimension of 21. The student continues to make the array until no
more groups of 21 can be made. Remainders are not part of the array.

Example: 9984 ÷ 64
 An area model for division is shown below. As the student uses the area model, s/he keeps track of how much of the 9984 is left to divide.

5.MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

This standard requires students to extend the models and strategies they developed for whole numbers in grades 1-4 to decimal values. Before
students are asked to give exact answers, they should estimate answers based on their understanding of operations and the value of the
numbers.
Examples:
 3.6 + 1.7
o A student might estimate the sum to be larger than 5 because 3.6 is more than 3 ½ and 1.7 is more than 1 ½.
 5.4 – 0.8
o A student might estimate the answer to be a little more than 4.4 because a number less than 1 is being subtracted.
 6 x 2.4
o A student might estimate an answer between 12 and 18 since 6 x 2 is 12 and 6 x 3 is 18. Another student might give an estimate of a
little less than 15 because s/he figures the answer to be very close, but smaller than 6 x 2 ½ and think of 2 ½ groups of 6 as 12 (2 groups
of 6) + 3 (½ of a group of 6).
Students should be able to express that when they add decimals they add tenths to tenths and hundredths to hundredths. So, when they are
adding in a vertical format (numbers beneath each other), it is important that they write numbers with the same place value beneath each other.
This understanding can be reinforced by connecting addition of decimals to their understanding of addition of fractions. Adding fractions with
denominators of 10 and 100 is a standard in fourth grade.
Example: 4 - 0.3
 3 tenths subtracted from 4 wholes. The wholes must be divided into tenths.

Example: An area model can be useful for illustrating products.

Students should be able to describe the partial products displayed by the area model. For example,
“3/10 times 4/10 is 12/100.
3/10 times 2 is 6/10 or 60/100.
1 group of 4/10 is 4/10 or 40/100.
1 group of 2 is 2.”

Example of division: finding the number in each group or share
 Students should be encouraged to apply a fair sharing model separating decimal values into equal parts such as 2.4÷4=0.6

Example of division: find the number of groups
 Joe has 1.6 meters of rope. He has to cut pieces of rope that are 0.2 meters long. How many can he cut?
 To divide to find the number of groups, a student might
o draw a segment to represent 1.6 meters. In doing so, s/he would count in tenths to identify the 6 tenths, and be able identify the number of 2 tenths within the
6 tenths. The student can then extend the idea of counting by tenths to divide the one meter into tenths and determine that there are 5 more groups of 2
tenths.

o count groups of 2 tenths without the use of models or diagrams. Knowing that 1 can be thought of as 10/10, a student might think of 1.6 as 16 tenths.
Counting 2 tenths, 4 tenths, 6 tenths, . . .16 tenths, a student can count 8 groups of 2 tenths.
o Use their understanding of multiplication and think, “8 groups of 2 is 16, so 8 groups of 2/10 is 16/10 or 1 6/10.”

Students are expected to demonstrate their understanding using concrete materials, drawing models, and explaining their thinking when working with fractions in multiple
contexts. They read 3/5 as “three fifths” and after many experiences with sharing problems, learn that 3/5 can also be interpreted as “3 divided by 5.”

Examples:
 Ten team members are sharing 3 boxes of cookies. How much of a box will each student get?
o When working this problem a student should recognize that the 3 boxes are being divided into 10 groups, so s/he is seeing the solution to the following
equation, 10 x n = 3 (10 groups of some amount is 3 boxes) which can also be written as n = 3 ÷ 10. Using models or diagram, they divide each box into 10
groups, resulting in each team member getting 3/10 of a box.
 Two afterschool clubs are having pizza parties. For the Math Club, the teacher will order 3 pizzas for every 5 students. For the student council, the teacher will
order 5 pizzas for every 8 students. Since you are in both groups, you need to decide which party to attend. How much pizza would you get at each party? If you
want to have the most pizza, which party should you attend?
 The six fifth grade classrooms have a total of 27 boxes of pencils. How many boxes will each classroom receive?

Students may recognize this as a whole number division problem but should also express this equal sharing problem as . They explain that each classroom gets boxes
of pencils and can further determine that each classroom get 4 or 4 boxes of pencils.

In fifth grade, students build on their prior knowledge of related measurement units to determine equivalent measurements. Prior to making actual conversions, they examine the
units to be converted, determine if the converted amount will be more or less units than the original unit, and explain their reasoning. They use several strategies to convert
measurements. When converting metric measurement, students apply their understanding of place value and decimals.
