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
Understanding
(divide whole numbers and
decimal operations)
Applications
and Modeling
Procedural
Skill
Students will use
knowledge of
equivalent fractions
to fluently multiply
and divide multidigit decimals using
the standard
algorithm.
Students will build
speed and accuracy
when adding,
subtracting,
multiplying and
dividing multi-digit
whole and decimal
numbers.
Students will apply
the standard
algorithms for
addition,
subtraction,
multiplication and
division to solve
problems in a realworld context.

The distance across the United States is approximately 3935
miles. How long would it take to walk across the United States
(the average person can walk 20 miles in an 8 hour day)?
The circumference of the earth is 24,901 miles. How long would it
take to walk around the earth (the average person can walk 20
miles in an 8 hour day)?
Choose a different location, research the distance, and determine
how long it would take to walk that distance.
Host a yard sale, bake sale or lemonade stand. Calculate each
customer’s total bill (adding decimals) and change (subtracting
decimals).
Determine how much money would be spent when buying
different quantities.
Determine what each person’s share of a restaurant bill would be
and calculate tip as 15% or 20%.
Determine where the missing decimal point should go in a number
sentence:
