Study Guide for Unit 1 (Math 5)

Key Concepts:

1. Place Value and Powers of Ten

o Understand how multiplying by powers of 10 shifts the digits to

the left.

o Example: 10 times as much as 900 is 9,000 (because 900 x 10 =

9,000).

2. Reading Large Numbers

o Be able to identify digits in different place values, such as the

hundred thousands place.

o Example: In 7,932,465, the digit in the hundred thousands place

is 9.

3. Multiplication and Division for Problem Solving

o Be able to apply multiplication and division to solve real-world

problems.

o Example: Calculating hours of sleep in a year based on weekly

hours of sleep, or how many 50-pound bags of soil you can fill
from a cubic yard.

4. Word Problems and Rate Problems

o Use division to find how long it takes to complete a task based on

a constant rate.

o Example: How long will it take to drain a pond of 2,106 gallons at

a rate of 78 gallons per hour?

5. Estimation and Rounding

o Estimating reasonable values for large numbers based on

multiplication or division.

o Example: Estimating how many bags of topsoil you can fill with a
cubic yard of soil.

6. Basic Operations with Fractions and Decimals

o Understanding fractions and decimals in the context of real-world

problems.
 o Example: Solving for how many headbands Yuki buys compared
to barrettes.

7. Multiplication and Division for Grouping

o Understand how to divide large numbers into groups, such as

cabins or boxes.

o Example: Dividing 175 campers into cabins that each hold 29

campers.

8. Rates of Saving and Budgeting

o Calculate how long it takes to save up for a purchase.

o Example: If Kira saves $26 a month, how long will it take to buy a
$546 dining set?

of gravel can you fill with one cubic yard?

 a) 25 bags
  b) 35 bags

 c) 40 bags

 d) 45 bags

Solution:
Divide the total weight of the gravel by the weight of one bag to find how
many bags you can fill.
Think: 2,000÷50=?2,000 \div 50 = ?2,000÷50=?

cost $14. How much did Noah pay for each comic book?

 a) $5

 b) $6

 c) $7

 d) $8

Solution:
Subtract the cost of the magazine from the total, then divide the remaining
amount by the number of comic books.
Think: (56−14)÷8=?(56 - 14) \div 8 = ?(56−14)÷8=?
