Math Unit Organizer 1

Unit Title: Section 1: Saxon Math
Unit Dates: August 18-September 2
Teacher Name: Mrs. Potter

Duration of Unit: 2 weeks
Unit Summary
In this unit, we will be covering the following topics: sequences, digits, even and odd numbers, using money to
illustrate place value, comparing whole numbers, naming whole numbers and money, adding whole numbers,
writing and comparing numbers through hundred thousands, ordinal numbers, relationship between addition and
subtraction, practicing the subtraction algorithm, missing addends, and translating and writing word problems.
Prerequisite Skills/Previous Unit

Checking an answer to an addition or subtraction
problem.
Finding a pattern in information that is given.
Drawing a picture to represent a problem.
Making an organized text.
Next Unit
Section 2 will be covering operations and algebraic
thinking and number/operations in base ten.
Core Knowledge Sequence

Numbers and number sense and computation
CCSS
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between
corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns,
and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.
Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it
represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
Read, write, and compare decimals in thousandths.
Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numbers, number names, and expanded form.
Unit Objectives
Lesson 1: Describe a rule for a sequence, count up or down to identify missing terms in a counting sequence.
Lesson 2: Find half of an even number, find half of an odd number, describe a number as even or odd.
Lesson 3: Use money amounts to represent place value, write a number in expanded form, use digits to write a
number given in expanded form.
Lesson 4: Compare two whole numbers, order several whole numbers from least to greatest, use digits and a
comparison symbol to write a comparison given in words.
Lesson 5: Use words to name a number shown in digits, use digits to write a number expressed in words, use
words to name an amount of money, use digits, a dollar sign, and a decimal point to write an amount of money
that is expressed in words.
Lesson 6: Identify the Commutative Property of Addition, and use it to add several one-digit numbers in any
order, identify the Identity Property of Addition, and use it to find the sum of any number and zero, use the
addition algorithm to add two- and three-digit numbers.
Lesson 7: Use words and digits to name numbers through hundred thousands, compare and order numbers
through hundred thousands, use ordinal numbers to name positions or order.
Lesson 8: Perform basic subtraction; write two addition facts and two subtraction facts for a fact family.
Lesson 9: Use the subtraction algorithm to subtract two- and three-digit numbers.
Lesson 10: Use subtraction to find a missing addend in an equation containing two or more addends, use
subtraction to check the answer to a missing addend problem, determine the equation for a word problem.
By the end of Section 1, students should be able to demonstrate the following competencies:
Use place value to read, write, compare, and order whole numbers.
Use addition and subtraction to solve problems involving whole numbers.
Makes generalizations based on observed patterns and relationships.
Relate informal language to mathematical language and symbols.
Key Questions
What patterns can we describe that distinguish
place values?
How can multiples of ten be helpful in converting
numbers from one place value to another?
How does moving a digit to the right affect its
place value?
How does moving a digit to the left affect its
place value?
How can numbers be compared and ordered?
How can letters be used to represent numbers?
How can pictures and diagrams help us
understand and solve problems?

of Addition, sum, base-ten system, cardinal numbers,
ordinal numbers, difference, fact family, inverse
operations, equation
