General Information
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Quotients in division items may not be equivalent to a whole number. Items may contain fractions greater than 1. Items may not use the terms “simplify” or “lowest terms.” Only use whole numbers for the divisor and dividend of a fraction. For given fractions in items, denominators are limited to 1-20.

Lesson Plans
| Name | Description |
| Fraction Frenzy! (Division/Fractional Word Problems) | Students will draw models to solve real-life word problems and show the relationship between division and fractions. This is not an introductory lesson to this standard. By the end of this lesson, they should be able to create their own word problems and explain if the answer will be a mixed number or a fraction less than one. |
| Sharing Fairly | The students will connect fractions with division. They will solve word problems involving the division of whole numbers by using the strategy of drawing a model and/or equations with a fraction or mixed number for the answer. Next they will write word problems with a story context that represent problems involving division of whole numbers that lead to a fraction or mixed number answer. |
| Wildlife Refuge MEA- Feeding the Animals | Students use mathematical practices to recommend food packages for the Wildlife Refuge of North America to order. Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom. |
| Birds Now | The Birds Now Pet Store is increasing the size of its bird department. By increasing the number and types of birds, they need to purchase more bird food and the type of food needs to be one that different types of birds can eat. The students need to rank the companies that sell bird food base on the basic requirements out lined in the client's letter. Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

| Picture This! Fractions as Division | In this lesson the student will apply and extend previous understandings of division to represent division as a fraction. This includes representations and word problems where the answer is a fraction. |
| Those Pesky Remainders | This is a lesson to help students understand how to interpret the remainder in a division problem. Real world problems are presented in a PowerPoint so students may visualize situations and discover the four treatments of a remainder. |
