Enduring Understandings: Enduring understandings go beyond discrete facts or skills. They focus on larger concepts, principles, or processes. They are transferable and apply to new situations within or beyond the subject. Operations create relationships between numbers. Arithmetic properties play a role in helping us understand number patterns. There are many ways to represent a number. Essential Questions: A question is essential when it stimulates multi-layered inquiry, provokes deep thought and lively discussion, requires students to consider alternatives and justify their reasoning, encourages re-thinking of big ideas, makes meaningful connections with prior learning, and provides students with opportunities to apply problem-solving skills to authentic situations. What is multiplication? How is multiplication related to addition? How are multiplication and addition different? How does our understanding of addition help us make sense of multiplication? How is multiplication used in the real world? In what ways can operations affect numbers? How can different strategies be helpful when solving a problem? Why are some numbers odd and others even?
