Represent and solve word problems that involve two numerical patterns and rules. Graph these problems. Students should be able to recognize the difference between additive and multiplicative numerical patterns given in a table or graph.

Represent and solve problems that involve comparing and ordering two decimals to the thousandths and represent comparisons using the symbols < , > or =.

Represent and solve word problems that involve estimating and rounding decimals to tenths or hundredths.

Represent and solve multistep problems involving the four operations with whole numbers using equations with a letter for the unknown quantity.

Place Value
