Students will create their own "Dream Room" after they are given a budget and measurement restriction. They will calculate areas and perimeters of each "purchased" item in their room, as well as manage their allotted budgets when making purchases. More to come....

a)   read and write six-digit numerals and identify the place value and value of each digit;
b)   round whole numbers, 9,999 or less, to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand; and
c)   compare two whole numbers between 0 and 9,999, using symbols (>, <, or = ) and words (greater than, less than, or equal to).

Computation and Estimation:
3.4          The student will estimate solutions to and solve single-step and multistep problems involving the sum or difference of two whole numbers, each 9,999 or less, with or without regrouping.
3.5          The student will recall multiplication facts through the twelves table, and the corresponding division facts.

Measurement

a)   length to the nearest -inch, inch, foot, yard, centimeter, and meter;

d)   area and perimeter.

3.10        The student will
a)   measure the distance around a polygon in order to determine perimeter; and
