Number
Learning Activity

Students work with numbers up to 1 million, are introduced to integers and learn the divisibility rules. Students will divide whole numbers by fractions or mixed numbers, and solve problems involving more than one operation, using whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.

This Learning Activity is divided into three sections. Adults should guide children through it in the following order:

Minds On: Introduces the learning concepts to be explored in the Learning Activity.
Action: Offers a focused activity to explore the content and discover key concepts.
Consolidation: Provides students with an opportunity to deepen understanding and reflect on learning.

In addition to working with Numbers up to 1 million, students are introduced to integers, such as -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. They are learning the divisibility rules of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. For example, a Number is divisible by 5 if it ends in a 5 or 0. Expanding operational skills include dividing a whole Number by a fraction or mixed Number, such as 2 ½. Students also solve problems that involve more than one operation and the use of whole Numbers, decimals and fractions.
