Appendix A

Math

5.CE.3  The student will estimate, represent, solve, and justify solutions to single-step and multistep problems, including those in context, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimal numbers.

5.CE.4  The student will simplify numerical expressions with whole numbers using the order of operations.

5.PS.1  The student will apply the data cycle (formulate questions; collect or acquire data; organize and represent data; and analyze data and communicate results) with a focus on line­­ plots (dot plots) and stem-and-leaf plots.

5.PS.2  The student will solve contextual problems using measures of center and the range.
