Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers
Lesson 2
Objective
Write expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret expressions without evaluating them.
Common Core Standards
Core Standards
?
-
5.OA.A.1 — Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
-
5.OA.A.2 — Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation "add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2" as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

Criteria for Success
?
- Understand the sum to be the result of adding two values, the difference to be the result of subtracting two values, the product to be the result of multiplying two numbers, and the quotient to be the result of dividing two numbers.
- Write numerical expressions based on verbal/written descriptions of calculations (e.g., write 2 x (8+7) to express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2”) (MP.7).
- Write descriptions of calculations based on numerical expressions (e.g., write “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” to describe the expression 2 x (8+7)) (MP.7).
- Interpret expressions without evaluating them (MP.2).
Tips for Teachers
?
Students should be familiar with the terms sum, difference, product, and quotient from prior grade levels.

Discussion of Problem Set
- In #3b some of you wrote 4 x (14 + 26) and others wrote (14 + 26) x 4. Are both expressions acceptable? Explain.
- Were you able to answer #4 without actually solving Expressions A and B? How?
- A student got 85 for #5a. Can you identify the error in thinking?
- Look at #6. How were you able to answer parts (b) and (c) without knowing how to compute with some of the numbers in the expressions?
- Look at #6c. Without evaluating, what would you expect the digits in the first expression to look like compared to the digits in the second expression? Why?
- We don’t yet know how to find 60 x 225. But, how were you able to use what you learned today to answer #10?
