for each operation.
Instructional videos in the hyperlinks above are meant to support C2.0 content,
but may use vocabulary or strategies not emphasized by MCPS.
The Common Core State Standards require a balance of three fundamental
components that result in rigorous mathematics acquisition: deep conceptual
understanding, procedural skill, and mathematical applications and modeling.
RIGOR
Multi-Digit Computation
Deep
Conceptual

Learning Experiences by Common Core State Standard
Topic 3: Multi-Digit Computation (dividing whole numbers and decimals operations)
In school, your child will…

Solve multi-step word problems.

Divide whole numbers.

Use estimation to properly place a decimal point in
the solution to a multiplication or division problem.

Choose the appropriate operation to problems
presented in a real-world context.

Explain the reasoning in each step of the standard
algorithms for decimal operations.

Add and subtract multi-digit decimals using the
standard algorithms.

Multiply and divide multi-digit decimals using the
standard algorithms.
At home, your child can…

Determine how long it would take to walk a certain distance
o The distance across the United States is approximately 3935 miles. How
long would it take to walk across the United States (the average person
could walk 20 miles in a day)?
o The circumference of the earth is 24,901 miles. How long would it take to
walk around the earth (the average person could walk 20 miles in a day)?
o Choose a different location in the above locations and research the
distance.

Work with money
o Imagine hosting a yard sale, bake sale, or lemonade stand. Calculate
each customer’s total bill (adding decimals) and change (subtracting
decimals).

Determine where the missing decimal point should go in a number sentence:
o 31.61  5.8  545
o 326872  36.4  8.98
