Calculators

Unit 2 - Lesson 1

1 per student

It is recommended that students use calculators in this lesson since some of the problems involve decimals. Students have experience with calculating with decimals from fifth grade, but they will study them more in depth and with fluency in Unit 3. Calculators will ensure the focus of the lesson is on the concepts and reasoning, rather than calculations (MP.5).
