Excerpt 4: Connections to and from other grades (Pages 32-46)

Description: Explanations and examples of how to implement the Number & Operations in Base Ten standards in Grade 5. Knowing the lead-up to the Grade 5 content will help you leverage content from previous grades in your lessons; also, mathematical learning should always be explicitly connected to previous understandings. Moreover, if your students are behind, seeing where Grade 5 ideas come from will allow you to adapt your curriculum and lessons to make new ideas accessible.
