Lesson 1: Prime Factorization
Main Idea: every positive integer (except the number 1) can be represented as a product of one or more prime numbers in exactly one way, disregarding the order of the factors. Standard (s): 5.OA.A.2.1 Express a whole number in the range 2-50 as a product of its prime factors. For example, find the prime factors of 24 and express 24 as 2 x 2 x 2 x 3.

Lesson 3 : Problem Solving: Writing to Explain
Main Idea: Students explain how to estimate fractional amounts of objects. They learn that mathematical explanations can be given using words, pictures, numbers, or symbols. They also learn that a good explanation should be correct, simple, complete, and easy to understand.
Standard (s): 5.NF.A.2 Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.

Lesson 5 : Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators
Main Idea: Students use models and computational procedures to add fractions with unlike denominators. They learn that to add with unlike denominators, you can change to an equivalent calculation with like denominators.
Standard (s): 5.NF.A.1 Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12 . (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc/bd) .
