        Multiply a fraction (including mixed numbers) by a fraction. M05.A-F.2.1.2

      3. 3

        Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication as scaling (resizing). Example 1: Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor without performing the indicated multiplication. Example 2: Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number.M05.A-F.2.1.3

      4. 4

        Divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. M05.A-F.2.1.4

Operations and Algebraic ThinkingM05.B-O

      2. 2

        Write simple expressions that model calculations with numbers and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. Example 1: Express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Example 2: Recognize that 3 × (18,932 + 921) is three times as large as 18,932 + 921 without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.M05.B-O.1.1.2

      1. 1

        Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. Example 1: All polygons have at least three sides, and pentagons are polygons, so all pentagons have at least three sides. Example 2: A rectangle is a parallelogram, which is a quadrilateral, which is a polygon; so, a rectangle can be classified as a parallelogram, as a quadrilateral, and as a polygon.M05.C-G.2.1.1
