ELA:
Module 3: The American Revolution
Module Summary: In this module, students will read informational text about the American Revolution and build background knowledge that will help them in later constructing an opinion/argument on the topic – to be a Loyalist or Patriot. Students will be engaged in a variety of close reading tasks to build comprehension.
Unit Tasks:
- Students apply what they have learned about reading and analyzing informational texts to answer selected response questions about the main idea and overall structure of a new informational text. They then summarize the text.
- Students write a short first-person narrative explaining in detail what a character from Divided Loyalties is thinking and feeling at a specific point in a scene.
- Students will demonstrate what they have learned about writing an opinion piece by drafting, revising and editing a broadside from the Loyalist perspective.
Eureka Math:
Module 6: Decimal Fractions
Students will…
- use metric measurement
- represent mixed numbers with units of tens, ones, and tenths
- use meters to model decomposition of one whole to hundredths
- use the area model and number line to represent mixed numbers with units of hundreds, tens, ones, tenths, and hundredths in expanded form
- use the place value chart and metric measurement to compare decimals
- compare and order mixed numbers
Common Core Learning Standards:
4.NF.5 - Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100. For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.
4.NF.6 - Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.
4.NF.7 - Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
4.MD.2 - Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
