You can read the Unit
Story with your student by

is based on curricula from Illustrative Mathematics (IM).
Unit Investigation

Lesson 1 is the Unit Investigation. Students explore and


describe the number 1 trillion to build curiosity and apply
their own knowledge in a variety of ways. Use the Caregiver
Connection to help students continue to explore the math
they will see in the unit.

Caregiver Connection

Students may enjoy exploring very large numbers in the


world around them. Encourage students to reflect or look
for places with large quantities of objects, like the number of
stars in the sky, the number of grains of sand on the beach,
or the number of liters of water in the ocean.
Summary Lesson 2

form, the base represents the factor and the exponent indicates how
many times the base is used as a factor.

When a number is multiplied by a power of 10, each of its digits shifts to the
left. When multiplying a whole number and a power of 10, the number of
zeros in the factors equals the number of zeros in the product.

places that is equal to the number of zeros in the power of 10.

Multiplying by powers of 10 Dividing by powers of 10

1.2 × 102 = 1.2 × 100 1.2 ÷ 102 = 1.2 ÷ 100

3 Which values make the equation 0.72 × ? = 720 true?


Select all that apply.
A 100 B 1,000
C 103 D 102
Summary Lesson 5

When you multiply or divide by powers of 10 written in exponential form,


each digit shifts the number of places that is equal to the exponent. This
helps you reason about the placement of the decimal point.

57.9 × 103 = 57,900


57.9 × 102 = 5,790
57.9 × 101 = 579
57.9 ÷ 101 = 5.79
57.9 ÷ 102 = 0.579
57.9 ÷ 103 = 0.0579

Try This

1 Diego evaluated the expression 3,005 × 103 and said, “The answer is
30,050 because 103 has 3 zeros. There are already 2 zeros in 3,005,

What is Diego’s error? Explain what he should do to get the correct
answer and include the correct answer in your response.

Math tip: When multiplying a whole number and a power of 10, the
number of zeros in the product is equal to the number of zeros in all the
factors when the factors are written in standard form.
Summary Lesson 6

You can convert a smaller unit to a larger unit using multiplication or division.

326,000 meters = 326 kilometers

1
​​ — ​​km = 1 m
1,000 m = 1 km 1,000
or
326,000 ÷ 1,000 = 326 1

Summary Lesson 7

You can use multiplication and division to convert different-sized metric


units of weight. Multi-step problems sometimes require an operation to
be used in addition to converting the units.

5 owls weigh a total of 25,000,000 milligrams. If each owl weighs the


same, how many kilograms does each owl weigh?

1 kg = 1,000 g 1 g = 1,000 mg 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg

25,000,000 ÷ 5 = 5,000,000, so each owl weighs 5,000,000 milligrams.


1,000,000 milligrams = 5 kilograms

Each owl weighs 5 kilograms.

When solving multi-step problems involving measurement conversions,


you can convert at different points in your answer and the final answer will be
the same.

5 volunteers each mixed 4.5 liters of nectar with 3,800 milliliters


of water. How many total liters of nectar mixture did they make?

Strategy A Strategy B

5 × 4.5 = 22.5, so 22.5 liters


3,800 ÷ 1,000 = 3.8, so 3.8 liters 5 × 3,800 = 19,000,
so 19,000 milliliters

4.5 + 3.8 = 8.3, so 8.3 liters 19,000 ÷ 1,000 = 19, so 19 liters

8.3 × 5 = 41.5, so 41.5 liters 22.5 + 19 = 41.5, so 41.5 liters

Summary Lesson 11

You can use the relationship between tons, pounds, and ounces to solve
multi-step problems. A ton is a unit of weight in the Customary system.
An elephant weighs 3 tons and 1,000 pounds. How much does the
elephant weigh in ounces?
16 oz = 1 lb
2,000 lb = 1 ton
32,000 oz = 1 ton

32,000 × 3 = 96,000, so 96,000 oz


1,000 × 16 = 16,000, so 16,000 oz
96,000 + 16,000 = 112,000, so 112,000 oz
The elephant weighs 112,000 ounces.
