Activity 1: Least to Greatest (page 1)

Number of players: two

Goal: to obtain the greatest total after calculating and ordering

How to play:
Step 1 Shuffle the operator cards and place them face down in a pile.

Step 2 Player 1 rolls the number cube four times and writes the results
on the first four spaces on Row 1. When Player 1 is finished,
Player 2 takes a turn. Continue taking turns until all 10 rows
are filled.

Step 3 Draw an operator card from the top of the pile. Write the
operation and number beside the completed spaces on Row 1.
Calculate the answer. (Use a calculator to check the answer if
there is a dispute.) Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Return the card to the pile and shuffle the cards.

Step 4 Look at the rounded numbers. Try to get those numbers in order
from least to greatest without moving the numbers. Cross out any
numbers that do not fit in the order.

Step 5 Add the numbers that are not crossed out. The player with the
greatest total wins.

Next Steps for Number Sense and Numeration


Instructional Next Steps for Overall Expectations
After summarizing individual and class performance on each overall expectation, you
may find that there are areas that could be retaught to some students. The following
suggestions have been provided to assist you in preparing tasks for individuals or
small groups of students.

Overall Expectation 5m8 (Quantity Relationships)


Read, represent, compare, and order whole numbers to 100 000, decimal numbers
to hundredths, proper and improper fractions, and mixed numbers.

Background
Visualizing, ordering, and comparing numbers and recognizing how they relate to
each other is important in the understanding of quantity relationships. The ability to
compose and decompose numbers helps students when they solve number problems
using a variety of strategies, including mental math. Students need to integrate their
knowledge of base ten concepts, counting, and oral and written representations of
numbers. Students at this grade level are developing their understanding of rational
numbers and should be encouraged to look for the relationships that exist among
fractions, decimals, and whole numbers. Students benefit from using a variety of
manipulatives and by creating multiple representations when learning number and
money concepts.

Strategies
The following materials are useful for representing whole numbers, decimals,
fractions, percents, and money amounts: base ten blocks, fraction circles and strips,
number lines, numeral cards, play money, and Cuisenaire rods.

Mystery Number
Ask one student to think of a mystery number within a given range and have the class
ask questions to determine the number (e.g., Is the number greater than 0.50?). The
mystery number can be a fraction, decimal, or whole number. Write the numbers that
are eliminated on the board and have the class continue to ask questions until the
mystery number is determined.

Number Sense and Numeration

Overall Expectation 5m10 (Operational Sense)


Solve problems involving the multiplication and division of multi-digit whole numbers,
and involving the addition and subtraction of decimal numbers to hundredths, using a
variety of strategies.

Background
This overall expectation relates to students’ development of operational sense.
Students with operational sense understand that operations are related to each other
in various ways, have good number sense (including an understanding of place value
and the partitioning and combining of numbers), and understand the patterns
inherent in basic operations.

Encouraging students to use a variety of strategies, including invented algorithms,


helps with the discovery of properties governing our number system. Students’ ability
to compute with whole numbers, decimal numbers, and money amounts can be
enhanced by modelling the problem-solving process using a variety of manipulatives
and representations.

Strategies
Modelling Multiplication
Create multiplication problems and model the answers.

For example, 13 students baked a dozen (12) muffins for the bake sale.
How many muffins were there in total?
10  2

10 12
13
A B 100 (10  10) A
 20 (10  2) B
30 (3  10) C
6 (3  2) D
156
3 C D

The distributive property a  (b  c)  (a  b)  (a  c) is very useful for developing


mental math strategies. It also helps in the understanding of the conventional
two-digit multiplication algorithm. Using varied examples, show students that
numbers can be broken apart in different ways to make partial products that can then
be combined.

82 Ontario Numeracy Assessment NEL


Modelling Division
Model division using arrays.

For example, 180  15


15

10 150
12
2 30

180  15  (150  15)  (30  15)

Teach the different meanings of division and link them to specific math problems.

For example, 6  2  3

Partitive: If six blocks are divided Quotative: If six blocks are divided
into two groups, how many are into groups of two, how many
in each group? groups can be made?

Model, and encourage students to use, a variety of algorithms for long division. The
example below is often easier to use for students with weaker multiplication skills.
This approach also allows students to divide even if they are able to multiply only by
10s, 5s, 2s, and 1s.

Overall Expectation 5m11 (Proportional Relationships)


Demonstrate an understanding of proportional reasoning by investigating
whole-number rates.

Background
At this level students are just beginning to recognize proportional relationships. With
proportional reasoning, students are learning that the size or quantity of one object or
set may be related to another.

NEL Ontario Numeracy Assessment 83


Number Sense and Numeration

Proportional reasoning is important in mathematics because the thinking involved


can be applied to a variety of topics. Part of proportional reasoning is understanding
the relationships of parts of wholes, such as fraction–decimal equivalents. Rates are
also part of proportional reasoning that students should be familiar with at this grade
level (e.g., grapes cost $3 per kilogram). Proportional reasoning can be applied in all
five strands of the mathematics curriculum and is frequently used in daily life
(e.g., pricing, distance and rate of travel, predicting the weather, etc.).

Strategies
Use a variety of representations to help students with proportional relationships.

Fractions, Decimals, and Rates


• Use base ten materials and drawings to model equivalent relationships between
simple fractions and their decimal forms.

1
= 50 or 0.5 67
= 0.67
2 100 100

• If 3 slices of pizza cost $6, how much do 12 slices of pizza cost?

Slices Total cost


3 $ 6
6 $12
9 $18
12 $24

• There are three times as many basketballs as baseballs or for every baseball,
there are three basketballs.

Performance Task 2: Sharing Strawberries


(page 1)

Imtiyaz went strawberry picking on the weekend.

On Monday, Imtiyaz brought fewer than 80 strawberries to school to


share with his friends.

Imtiyaz shared the strawberries with his friends Kendra, Craig, and Julie.
When Imtiyaz shared the strawberries equally between the four of them,
there was one strawberry left over.

Before they had a chance to eat any strawberries, Shazir joined them.
They decided to put the strawberries back into one pile and share the
strawberries again. When Imtiyaz shared the strawberries equally, there
was one strawberry left over.

Then Colin came to sit with them. Imtiyaz started over again. When he
shared the strawberries equally, there was one strawberry left over.

1. How many strawberries did Imtiyaz bring to school? Show your work.

2. Suppose Julie was not at school that day. Would your answer to
Question 1 be the same or different? Explain.
