Units

  1. Unit 1

    Numbers to a Million

    Place value to 1 000 000: digit values, standard and expanded form, number words, rounding, ordering, and using benchmarks like 500 000 on a number line.

    Learning standard: Number concepts to 1 000 000; whole-number benchmarks

  2. Unit 2

    Add & Subtract

    Adding and subtracting numbers up to 1 000 000 with regrouping (including across zeros), estimating by rounding, and mental math such as compensation (adding 4999 as 5000 − 1).

    Learning standard: Addition and subtraction of whole numbers to 1 000 000; addition and subtraction estimation strategies; mental math strategies

  3. Unit 3

    Multiply

    Multiplying 2- and 3-digit numbers using area models and partial products, patterns with 10, 100 and 1000, doubling and halving, and estimating products by rounding.

    Learning standard: Multiplication to three digits; multiplication estimation strategies; mental math strategies

  4. Unit 4

    Divide

    Dividing 2- and 3-digit numbers, finding remainders and deciding what they mean in a story (round up for buses, drop the extra for full bags), and estimating with friendly numbers.

    Learning standard: Division to three digits, including division with remainders; division estimation strategies

  5. Unit 5

    Equivalent Fractions

    Making and recognizing equivalent fractions (2/3 = 8/12), simplifying, comparing and ordering fractions, and judging whether a fraction is close to 0, 1/2 or 1.

    Learning standard: Equivalent fractions; fraction benchmarks

  6. Unit 6

    Decimals

    Reading, writing, comparing and rounding decimals to thousandths, linking decimals to fractions out of 10, 100 and 1000, and adding and subtracting decimals in real situations.

    Learning standard: Decimals to thousandths; decimal benchmarks; addition and subtraction of decimals to thousandths

  7. Unit 7

    Patterns & Equations

    Describing growing and shrinking patterns with rules and expressions like 3n + 1, using input–output tables, and solving one-step equations such as n + 37 = 92 or 6 × n = 54.

    Learning standard: Rules for increasing and decreasing patterns with words, numbers, symbols, and variables; one-step equations with variables

  8. Unit 8

    Area & Perimeter

    Finding the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles, working backwards to a missing side, and discovering that shapes with the same area can have different perimeters (and vice versa).

    Learning standard: Area measurement of squares and rectangles; relationships between area and perimeter

  9. Unit 9

    Time & Duration

    Working out how long events last, finding end and start times, reading schedules, and converting between seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks.

    Learning standard: Duration, using measurement of time

  10. Unit 10

    Prisms, Pyramids & Moves

    Naming and classifying prisms and pyramids by their bases, counting faces, edges and vertices, and describing single transformations: translations (slides), reflections (flips) and rotations (turns).

    Learning standard: Classification of prisms and pyramids; single transformations

  11. Unit 11

    Graphs & Chance

    Reading double bar graphs where each square stands for several items (many-to-one), comparing two sets of data, and describing the probability of single outcomes with spinners, marbles, dice and coins.

    Learning standard: One-to-one correspondence and many-to-one correspondence, using double bar graphs; probability experiments, single events or outcomes

  12. Unit 12

    Money & Budgets

    Making change for purchases up to $1000, counting bills and coins, estimating whether there is enough money, and building simple budgets and savings plans.

    Learning standard: Financial literacy — monetary calculations, including making change with amounts to 1000 dollars and developing simple financial plans
