14 June (Thursday) Preliminaries
- Provide opportunity for students to locate any number on a number line
18 June (Monday) - Give exercises that require students to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of
whole numbers, fractions, and mixed numbers
19 June (Tuesday) Notes:
1) Addition or subtraction of whole numbers must be up to 4-digit numbers
Regular Periods: 2) Multiplication of whole numbers must be up to 3-digit by 3-digit numbers
(50 minutes) 3) Division of whole numbers (with or without remainder) must include 2-digit divisors
4) Recall the following concepts: proper vs improper fractions, similar (like) vs dissimilar (unlike) fractions,
Note: Assign daily equivalent fractions, least common denominator (LCD), multiplicative inverse (reciprocal), rewriting
HW good for 15 improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice-versa
minutes. - Emphasize speed and accuracy. Provide both mental computation and timed drills.
- Identify and discuss the common error(s) of the students (e.g. poor basic facts, incorrect algorithm, etc.)
- Elicit questions from the students. Encourage students to attend consultation sessions.
- Give exercises that require students to find missing addends, minuend, subtrahend, factors, dividend, or
divisor. Focus on whole numbers only.
- Recall the concept of exponents.
Notes:
1) Students must be able to expand a given numerical expression involving exponents or rewrite a given
numerical expression in compact form.
2) Limit exponents up to 3rd power for base greater than 4.
20 June PEMDAS (whole numbers, fractions, and mixed numbers)
(Wednesday) - Limit operations up to 4 (exponent included)
- Remind students to write their step-by-step solutions vertically at all times.
21 June (Thursday) - Provide students opportunity to show how they write their solutions.
Note: Emphasis is on quality of student work more than quantity.
22 June (Friday) - Expose students to nested numerical expressions (maximum of 2 grouping symbols)
- Identify and discuss the common error(s) of the students (e.g. incorrect order of operations, incorrect
