Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Compare whole numbers and decimals using inequality symbols (<, >, =, ≥, ≤)
Find the least common multiple, least common denominator, or greatest common factor of two numbers
Multiply and divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm
Evaluate numerical expressions involving exponents
Correct capitalization and comma errors in a short sentence

Teaching tips

Use the Friday quiz to check understanding before moving to the next week's skills
Assign one day's five problems as a short warm-up rather than the whole week at once
Reference the built-in answer key (the second half of each week's file) to check work quickly without preparing a separate key

Skills covered

Number comparison — students use inequality symbols to compare whole numbers and decimals of different lengths.
GCF and LCM — recurring daily problems ask students to find the least common denominator, least common multiple, or greatest common factor of two numbers.
Multi-digit multiplication and division — daily problems require multiplying two multi-digit numbers or dividing a multi-digit number by a single digit.
Exponents — students evaluate numerical expressions such as 5³.
Capitalization and comma usage — a short embedded sentence each day requires correcting capitalization and comma errors.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How are the solutions organized?

Each week's file repeats every practice page and quiz a second time with the correct answers filled in, so the worked answers are built into the same document rather than a separate file.

Do the skills change from week to week?

Yes. Later weeks' title pages reference additional standards, such as geometry and expressions, building on the number-comparison and multiplication/division skills established in week 1.
