multiplication and division facts to 100 (extending computational fluency)
• When multiplying 214 by 5, we can multiply by 10, then divide by 2 to get 1070.

operations with integers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operations)
• addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operations
• concretely, pictorially, symbolically
• order of operations includes the use of brackets, excludes exponents
• using two-sided counters
• 9–(–4) = 13 because –4 is 13 away from +9
• extending whole-number strategies to decimals

operations with decimals (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and order of operations)
• includes the use of brackets, but excludes exponents

relationships between decimals, fractions, ratios, and percents
