Sequences and Number Lines

The official wording · 1 outcomes
1.1
Identify incorrectly placed numbers in an ordered sequence or on a number line (vertical or horizontal)

Four-Digit Numbers

The official wording · 3 outcomes

Key ideas

  1. We read thousands, hundreds, tens, then ones.

  2. Large numerals use spacing, not commas.

  5. Each digit has a place value.

Watch out for

  • Saying and inside a whole number.

  5. Shaded parts over total parts name the fraction.

Watch out for

  • Confusing a fraction of a set with a fraction of a whole.
  • Reading 0.5 as five.
  • Ignoring the size of the whole.

  2. An array shows rows and columns.

  3. Division facts are related to multiplication facts.

  4. The distributive property splits a factor into friendly parts.

  5. Any number times 1 is itself; any number times 0 is 0.

Watch out for

  • Guessing facts without a strategy.
  • Splitting a factor incorrectly.
  • Reversing a division fact.

  3. We line up the decimal points to add or subtract.

  4. Counting back gives change.

Watch out for

  • Ignoring the decimal part when rounding.
  • Treating the estimate as exact.
  • Not lining up the decimal points.

  2. A multiplication chart has many patterns.

  3. The pattern rule tells what belongs in a blank.

  4. An error breaks the table's pattern.

  5. A table can organize a problem.

Watch out for

  • Reading rows and columns wrong.
  • Missing the relationship between values.
  • Not checking the rule for every row.

8.4
Solve a given one-step equation using manipulatives

Key ideas

  1. A symbol stands for the unknown number.

  2. An equation can use any operation.

  3. The symbol marks the number we do not yet know.

  4. The same idea works for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
