Measuring Volume

Find volume of rectangular prisms.

Develop concept of volume measurement using cubic units.
Levels begin with simple 3-D objects composed of cubic units, then advance to finding volume using dimensions of rectangular prisms.
Use a multiplication formula for finding volume.

Order of Operations Using Parentheses

Use parentheses in expressions to build visual models.

Understand the use of parentheses in determining order of operations.
Given a visual model, determine the order of operations for generating the model.
Levels begin with two-step expressions using addition and multiplication, then progress to multi-step operations.

Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

Develop strategies for adding fractions with unlike denominators.

Use visual fraction models to create common denominators for adding fractions with unlike denominators.
Levels begin with modeling sums of fractions with like denominators, then advance to creating visual models using both unlike denominators for partitioning an area model.

Coordinate Trap

Plot points on a coordinate plane and write ordered pairs.

Plot points in a coordinate plane given an ordered pair.
Write ordered pairs given a point on a coordinate plane.
Feedback animates the role of ordered pairs in plotting points.

Fraction Multiplication on Number Lines

Estimate products of fractions and whole numbers on a number line.

Develop concepts and strategies for multiplying fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by fractions.
Multiplication of a fraction by a whole number can be modeled by iterating a given fraction.
Multiplying a whole number by a fraction can be modeled by dividing the whole number by denominator and multiplying by numerator.

Measurement Conversion

Convert within customary units of volume

Convert within customary units of volume: Gallons, Quarts, Pints, Cups.
Levels begin with simple conversions of 1 larger unit to smaller units, then advance to converting fractional amounts of a larger unit to smaller units ( 1 ½ gallons = __ cups).
