“When your child solves a problem involving percentages or multi-digit multiplication, can they show the same situation using a bar model, a number line, and an equation — and explain what each one represents?”
Full guide and materials
- Activity. Move fluently between real-world situations, diagrams, number lines, bar models, and symbolic equations involving multi-digit multiplication, fractions, decimals, and percentages, explaining connections between representations
What to notice. Represent a scaling problem as both a bar model and a multiplication equation • Show how 0.35, 35/100, and 35% all represent the same quantity on a hundredths grid • Translate a line-graph reading into a subtraction equation to find the difference
