-
03
Comparing, Ordering and Rounding Decimals
8m 24sThis lesson covers ordering decimals from least to greatest, comparing decimals with greater than or less than symbols and rounding to a specific place value.
-
04
Adding and Subtracting Decimals/Estimation
10m 9sThis lesson covers estimating sums and differences by rounding to the nearest whole number, front-end estimation for adding multiple decimals and adding and subtracting decimals.
-

-
06
Division of Decimals
17m 34sThis lesson covers the division of decimals with a decimal dividend and whole number divisor and division of two decimals by dividing until a number terminates, repeats or needs to be rounded. This lesson will also cover estimation using compatible numbers.
-
07
Prime Factorization and Greatest Common Factor
11m 27sThis lesson covers factoring and finding the greatest common factor using factor trees to establish prime factorization.
-
08
Least Common Multiple/Comparing and Ordering Fractions
15m 42sThis lesson covers finding the least common multiple using factor trees to establish prime factorization and comparing fractions using greater than, less than or equal to, and ordering fractions from least to greatest.
-
09
Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers
11m 58sThis lesson covers addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers by finding a common denominator first, and then converting and reducing final sums. The lesson will also include subtraction where the first mixed number or whole number will need to be renamed.
