Curriculum Implementation

Standards are essential, but not sufficient

Number and Operations in Base Ten 5.NBT

Understand the place value system.

5.NBT.1. Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

5.NBT.2. Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.

5.NBT.3. Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. C

a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).

C

b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

C

5.NBT.4. Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place. C

Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.

5.NBT.5. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. N
