Grade 5 – Unit 1 (SAMPLE)
Possible time frame:
25 days
Students finalize fluency with multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and apply whole number operations to measurement conversion (e.g. convert 12 feet to __yards).
Students need experiences with numerical expressions that use grouping symbols to develop understanding of how to use parentheses, brackets, and braces with whole numbers. Students
compare like expressions that are grouped differently as well as place grouping symbols in an equation to make it true. Students write simple expressions and interpret the meaning of the
numerical expression. In prior grades, students used various strategies to multiply. In Grade 5, students must also understand and be able to use the standard algorithm. In applying the standard
algorithm, students recognize the importance of place value. (5.NBT.A.1) In fourth grade, students’ experiences with division were limited to dividing by one-digit divisors. In Grade 5, students
extend their prior experiences to include two-digit divisors. They will demonstrate their ability with whole number division using strategies, illustrations, and explanations.

Grade 5 – Unit 1 (SAMPLE)
Sample End-of-unit Assessment Item Responses:
1. 5.NBT.A.1
The value of 7 in 47,358 is 7,000. The value of 7 in 35,739 is 700. 7,000 is 10 times larger than
700.
Note: Students might say 700 is 1/10th of 7,000 which is also acceptable.
2. 5.NBT.B.6
The quotient of 3762 ÷ 18 is 209.
3762 = 3600 + 162.
3600 = 36 x 100
36 = 18 x 2 so 3600 = 18 x 2 x 100 or 3600 = 18 x 200.
I also know that 18 x 10 = 180 so to get 162 I have to multiply 18 by a number less than 10.
18 x 9 = 162
So, 18 x 200 + 18 x 9 = 3762
18 x (200 + 9) = 3762
18 x 209 = 3762
So the quotient is 209 because the quotient is the unknown factor in the multiplication problem
18 x ____ = 3762.
Teacher note: Other methods are acceptable for students to explain/show how they arrived at
the answer, including the standard algorithm. However, students are not expected to master the
standard algorithm for division until Grade 6 so other methods can and should be used to divide.

c. Nadia wrote (9 + 3) × 5

4. 5.OA.A.1, 5.OA.A.2
The expression should be:
183 − (15 + 15) + 2 × (6 + 1)
I know that Jonas gave away 30 cards to his friends Bobby and Steven. In the expression 30 can
be found by adding 15 + 15 so I put parentheses around 15 + 15. Then, Jonas found 2 packs of
cards that each has 6 regular plus 1 limited-edition card. This means he has 2 packs of 7 cards. In
the expression, 6 +1 represents the cards so I put that in parentheses because I have to add that
before multiplying by 2 for the two packs. Jonas has 167 baseball cards left.

7. 5.MD.A.1, 5.NBT.A.1
To convert 2,500 grams to decagrams, divide 2,500 by 10 because there are 10 grams in 1
decagram. 2,500 grams is the same as 250 decagrams. The value of the digit 5 changed from 500
in 2,500 to 50 in 250. This happened because I divided 2,500 by 10 and 500 divided by 10 is 50.

45 x 3
= (40 x 3) + (5 x 3)
= 120 + 15
= 135
45 x 30
= (45 x 3) x 10
= 135 x 10
= 1350
450 x 30
= (45 x 10) x (3 x 10)
= (45 x 3) x (10 x 10)
= 135 x 100
= 13,500
450 x 300
= (45 x 10) x (3 x 100)
= (45 x 3) x (10 x 100)
= 135 x 1000
= 135,000
For each product, the product 45 x 3 is being multiplied by the next power, or multiple, of 10
(10, 100, 1000). Multiplying 135 by each multiple of 10 increases the number of zeros because
the place value of each digit is changing by a factor of 10.
10. 5.NBT.A.1, 5.NBT.A.2
I know that 500 is 10 times 50 and I know that 400 is 100 times 4. 500 x 400 can be rewritten as
(50 x 10) x (4 x 100). That means 500 x 400 is 1000 times 50 x 4. So I would only have to multiply
200 by 1000.

a. Write and evaluate an expression to find the number of quart-sized containers needed

b. Write and evaluate an expression to find the number of pint-sized containers needed

Students might also convert the five gallons to quarts first then to pints. They may also
recognize they can use the answer from Part a, and multiply by 2 to get the number of
pints. Both alternate methods are acceptable.
c. Explain how you would find the number of quart-sized and pint-sized containers needed
each week.
In order to find the number of quart-sized or pint-sized containers for the week, I would
multiply the number of quart-sized containers needed per day by 7 since there are seven
days in the week. To find the number of pint-sized containers needed for the week, I
would again multiply the number of pint-sized containers needed for one day by 7 since
there are seven days in the week.

Mathematics
Grade 5 – Unit 1 (SAMPLE)
Application Task:
The owners of Dixieland Ranch have hired your group to help determine the amount and the cost of the
fencing needed for their pasture. The ranch has an unfenced square pasture that measures 880 yards on
each side. In order to drive the tractor into the pasture to complete the chores, the ranch hands need
the pasture to have two wide gates installed on the opposite ends of the pasture.
The gates come in two different widths: a 10-ft gate and a 12-ft gate. Both gates at opposite ends of the
pasture must be the same width.
Fence posts will need to be purchased. The fence posts must be spaced evenly around the pasture. The
distance between each fence post must be the same as the width of the chosen gate. For example, if
you choose to purchase the 10-ft gate, the distance between each fence post will need to be 10-ft.
Three rows of barbed wire will be used to construct the fence around the pasture.
The owners need your group’s math expertise to help determine which materials to buy, how much of
the materials are needed, and how much it will cost to fence in the pasture. Your group will make your
decision based on the information given below and your calculations. The owners of the ranch do not
wish to spend more than $16,500.
The Rancher’s Website sells gates, barbed wire, and posts that will need to be ordered.
