MODULE 3- FACTORS, MULTIPLES, MULTIPLICATION, FRACTIONS
Students will find factor pairs of numbers and they will need to be able to identify if a number is prime or composite. Students will start developing strategies for multiplication including breaking up a number into different factors in order to multiply and also using the doubling and halving strategy. Students will begin reviewing fraction concepts by comparing and ordering fractions.

MODULE 10 - 4 DIGIT BY 1 DIGIT DIVISION, LINES, RAYS, AND SYMMETRY
Students will use the traditional and partial products algorithm to divide 4 digit numbers by a 1 digit number. Students will use the acronym DMSB (Dragons Mean Serious Business) to help them to remember to divide, multiply, subtract and bring down with long division. This unit students will also focus on geometry concepts. They will learn the difference between line, rays and line segments. Students will learn what lines of symmetry are and they will create an art project where they create a symmetrical pattern with their names.

MODULE 11 & 12 - DECIMALS & CUSTOMARY MEASUREMENT
Students will learn how decimals are whole numbers broken into fractions of ten. They will learn that 1/10 is the same as .10 and they will compare decimals up to the thousandths place. Students will also learn to add and subtract fractions. They need to always to remember to line up the decimal, regardless of the number of digits in the place value. Students will be introduced to the customary units of measurement in order to prepare for customary measurement conversions in 5th grade.
