Math
- Round two- and three-digit whole numbers to the nearest ten or hundred, respectively.
- Add two- and three-digit whole numbers
- Subtract two- and three-digit numbers from three-digit whole numbers.
- Multiply one-digit whole numbers by two-digit multiples of 10 (from 10 through 90).
- Order a set of whole numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least.
- Represent fractions on a number line (limit denominators to 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8; limit numerators to whole numbers less than the denominator; and no simplification necessary)
- Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions (limit denominators to 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8).
- Compare two fractions with the same denominator (limit denominators to 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8).
- Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
- Apply the commutative property of multiplication
- Apply the associative property of multiplication
- Solve two-step word problems using the four operations.
