Use computational fluency to multiply multi-digit whole numbers by using strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, with mastery by the end of fifth grade.

Calculate whole number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, divisibility rules, and the relationship between multiplication and division.

Add and subtract decimals to the hundredths using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Evaluate numerical expressions with parentheses or brackets and exponents with the base of ten, using the Order of Operations.

Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, interpreting numerical expressions without evaluating them.

Generate two numerical patterns given two rules, identifying the relationship between the corresponding terms by graphing the terms in the first quadrant of the coordinate grid.

Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties with the focus on quadrilaterals and triangles when teaching hierarchies. * Shapes to include: quadrilaterals (trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, square, rhombus, kite) and triangles (right, acute, obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral)
