Problem Solving Using
Measures and Fractions
Measurement—time intervals , conversion (metric)
Fractions
 Calculating and dividing quantities
 Decimal equivalents
 Rounding/ comparing
Place Value — rounding/ordering/counting backwards /counting in 3
multiples
Addition & Subtraction—inverse operations , mental and written
methods (as appropriate to support calculations involving measures
and fractions ).
