These initial topics introduce the concepts of inequality and help students visualize and understand the relative sizes of fractions without altering the denominators. As the unit progresses, students delve into finding and creating equivalent fractions, learning to calculate missing numerators or denominators to formulate equivalent relationships. Subsequent topics challenge students to compare fractions by simplifying problems where denominators are modified, facilitating the understanding of equivalence and comparison across different fractions. The unit ends with students handling more complex comparisons involving mixed numbers and different denominators, where they apply earlier learned skills to simplify and compare fractions effectively, cementing their understanding of fraction equivalence, manipulation, and comparison.

This math unit begins by establishing foundational skills in dividing by specific single-digit numbers, progressing through straightforward division problems without remainders such as dividing two-digit by one-digit numbers. As the unit advances, it introduces more complex tasks involving long division techniques and dividing larger numbers (up to three digits) by a single digit, both with and without remainders. Simultaneously, the unit integrates multiplication problems where students solve for missing values in equations involving multiplication by tens or identifying a missing digit in multiplication problems. This not only reinforces division skills but also enhances understanding of inverse operations. Towards the end of the unit, there's an emphasis on expressing division results as fractions and mastering the handling of remainders, culminating in a thorough proficiency in basic arithmetic operations involving both division and multiplication against progressively challenging number sizes and complexities.

This math unit begins by introducing students to the concept of Pi, first as a Greek letter and then as a ratio related to circles. It progresses by teaching fundamental circle properties, starting with calculations involving the diameter and radius of circles before moving into how these dimensions relate to calculating circumference using Pi. The unit gradually incorporates more complex exercises, such as computing circumference with given radius or diameter, first using approximations of Pi and then exact values. As the unit advances, students practice arithmetic operations involving Pi, and skills like using calculators and applying formulas (\(C = \pi \times d\) and \(C = 2\pi r\)) correctly. Near the end, the focus is on reinforcing the relationship between the diameter, radius, and circumference, and applying these concepts practically, encouraging mental math and self-assessment. The unit rounds off by revisiting core concepts, ensuring a solid understanding of circle geometry.
