Skill descriptor: Number: Number Sense · representing and partitioning whole numbers to 1 000 000
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).
Skill descriptor: Number: Operations · estimation strategies, and adding and subtracting decimals
Unit 3
Mental Math Tricks
Recalling multiplication and division facts to 9 × 9, and mental strategies such as adding zeros, halving and doubling, and breaking a number into friendly parts.
Skill descriptor: Number: Operations · mental math strategies for multiplication and division facts
Unit 4
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.
Skill descriptor: Number: Operations · mental strategies for multiplication, and two-digit by two-digit multiplication
Unit 5
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.
Skill descriptor: Number: Operations · dividing three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers, and interpreting remainders
Unit 6
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.
Skill descriptor: Number: Number Sense · creating sets of equivalent fractions
Unit 7
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.
Skill descriptor: Number: Number Sense · decimals to thousandths, relating them to fractions, and comparing and ordering them
Unit 8
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.
Skill descriptor: Patterns and Relations: Algebra · pattern rules, and one-step equations with a variable
Unit 9
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).
Skill descriptor: Shape and Space: Measurement · designing rectangles given perimeter or area
Unit 10
Millimetres, Volume and Capacity
Choosing units for length (mm), volume (cm³, m³) and capacity (mL, L), using everyday referents, and linking millilitres to litres.
Skill descriptor: Shape and Space: Measurement · millimetres, volume and capacity
Unit 11
Parallel Lines and Quadrilaterals
Finding parallel and perpendicular edges and sides, and sorting quadrilaterals (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, parallelograms and rhombuses) by their sides and angles.
Skill descriptor: Shape and Space: 2-D Shapes and 3-D Objects · parallel and perpendicular lines and right angles in quadrilaterals
Unit 12
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).
Skill descriptor: Shape and Space: 2-D Shapes and 3-D Objects · edges, faces and sides, and single transformations of 2-D shapes
Unit 13
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.
Skill descriptor: Statistics and Probability: Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability: Chance and Uncertainty · first- and second-hand data, double bar graphs, and the likelihood of outcomes
