- Read, write, order, and compare numbers up to 1,000,000.
- Recognize the value of each digit in a six-digit number.
- Round any number to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000.
- Solve number and place value problems.
- Addition and Subtraction:
- Add and subtract whole numbers with up to 6 digits using efficient methods.
- Use estimation and inverse operations to check answers.
- Solve addition and subtraction problems, including missing number problems.
- Multiplication and Division:
- Multiply and divide numbers mentally, including decimals and large numbers.
- Use efficient written methods for multiplication and division.
- Solve multiplication and division problems, including scaling problems and finding factors and multiples.
- Fractions:
