After that they were able to develop expressions using a variable to describe a pattern. Finally, students used patterns to write and solve one-step equations with a variable and could express a given problem as an equation, using symbols (e.g., 4 + X = 15).<\/p>\n<p>Later in the term, they worked with whole numbers to 1 000 000 and used different strategies like front-end rounding, compatible numbers, benchmarks and compensation to estimate sums and differences. Finally, they used these strategies to solve problems in real-life contexts and problem-based situations.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-318 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/suttonl\/files\/2020\/12\/est-300x87.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/suttonl\/files\/2020\/12\/est-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/suttonl\/files\/2020\/12\/est.png 653w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This term, the grade 5 math students have focused on two of the Big Ideas in the curriculum: Identifying regularities in number patterns that can be expressed in tables, and computational fluency and flexibility with numbers that extend to operations with larger (multi-digit) numbers.
