Paul and William each have $20.00 and are going to the matinee. Their movie tickets cost $5.00 each. Paul buys popcorn for $3.54 and a coke for $3.79. William buys candy for $3.36 and a pickle for $4.02. Create a graphical representation of Paul and Williams purchases.
Determine how much money Paul and William have. After the movie Paul and William plan to play video games. Each video game is $0.50. Compare the number of video games each boy will get to play. In writing explain your answer.
How much money does Paul and William have left? If Paul and William use the rest of their money to play video games at $0.50 a game. How many games will each boy get to play?
Paul and William are getting ready to ship birthday presents to their grandma.
They need to make sure they have enough money to pay for shipping. You are going to conduct comparative shopping. Through your research you find that at the U. S. Postal Service each package cost $3.75 plus .$0.37 per ounce. At UPS you discover each package is $2.49 plus $0.53 per ounce. At FedEx each package is $3.15 plus $0.45 per ounce. Create chart that compares the different cost for each delivery service. Write a memo to Paul and William letting them know which delivery service is the most cost effective and why.

Unit 12 (4th Nine Weeks)
Create a five-tab flip book representing two different fractions (e.g., 3/10 , 4 /5 , etc.) in a real-life problem-situation, modeled with concrete objects and then recorded as follows: Tab 1 (separated into two sections; one for each fraction) displays a set model for each fraction; Tab 2 (separated into two sections; one for each fraction) displays an area model for each fraction; Tab 3 displays the two fractions being compared using words, numbers, and symbols; Tab 4 displays a pictorial (e.g., set model or area model) of an equivalent for each fraction; and Tab 5 contains a written explanation with a justification for determining each fraction equivalent. (3.2A, 3.2B, 3.2C,
3.2D; 3.14A, 3.14D; 3.15A, 3.15B) 1C; 5B
Sample Performance Indicator:
 Joey found two bird nests with eggs in each. In one nest, 3/8 of the eggs had hatched and in the other nest, 4/5 of the eggs had hatched. Create a five-tab flip book representing the two fractions, 3/8 and 4/5 , such as the following:
Model each fraction with concrete objects (e.g., pattern blocks, counters, etc.). Separate the first tab in the booklet into two sections – one for each fraction. Label each of the two sections with the title: Set Model. Under each section, draw the model of the fractions created with the concrete objects. For the second tab, model each fraction using color tiles so that the tiles have no gaps. Separate the second tab into two sections like the first tab, and label each of these sections with the title: Area Model. Under each section, draw the model of the fractions created with color tiles. For the third tab (no need to separate this tab into two
sections), record and compare the two fractions using words, numbers, and symbols, and label this tab:
Unit 6 (2nd Nine Weeks)
Generate an equivalent fraction and decimal from a given concrete or pictorial model that contains at least one fractional quantity greater than one and represents a real-life scenario. Place each equivalent fraction at its approximate location on a number line. In a journal entry, describe the strategy used to order the fraction totals from least to greatest. (4.2A, 4.2B, 4.2C, 4.2D; 4.10; 4.14A, 4.14D, 4.15A, 4.15B; 4.16A) 1E; 5F
Kaytlynn shaded a hundredths grid on the card below to create a tile design. In a table, record a fraction and decimal for each of the four parts of Kaytlynn’s grid (e.g. black, white, gray, and striped.)
Unit 10 (4th Nine Weeks)
Create a necklace design using 100 objects (e.g. beads, pasta, cereal, etc.) of three different colors. Then use a 100s grid to sort the necklace objects by color and color-in the grid accordingly. Record the following for the colors in the necklace design: (1) the fractions represented for each color; (2) the fraction to decimal equivalence for each color; (3) the name in words for each decimal; (4) the order of the fractions and decimals from greatest to least; (5) one comparison statement for the fractions and one
comparison statement for the decimals with appropriate symbols; and (6) create a problem situation involving the colors of the necklace that could be answered using fractional pieces and a written justification of the solution. Copy your colored 100s grid onto three more grids creating
a total of four 100s grids. If each 100s grid represents “one whole”, find, describe, and record one or more of the colors used in the 100s grid where the fraction and decimal representation is greater than one. (4.2A, 4.2B, 4.2C, 4.2D;
4.14A, 4.14D; 4.15A, 4.15B; 4.16B)
5B; 1G
Unit 7 (2nd Nine Weeks)
Order in a table and on a number line a set of mixed numbers and improper fractions in a real-life situation from least to greatest by generating their equivalent values. Use the order to validate conclusions related to the real-life situation. (5.2B; 5.14A, 5.14D; 5.15A, 5.15B; 5.16B) 1E; 5G
Sara, Annie, Tyrone, and Evelyn all ride the bus to school. Sara lives miles away, Annie lives miles away, Tyrone lives miles away, and Evelyn lives miles away. Create a table that shows the name of each student and their distance from school in both mixed numbers and improper fractions. Include in the table a process column to show how each distance was renamed. From the table, create a number line ordering the distances from least to greatest, and justify in writing how the order was determined. Then, use the number line to communicate in writing which student lives the closest to school and which student lives the furthest from school
