Which of these are pentominoes?
1 What is a pentomino? (How can you define it?)
2 With your team, use your squares or tiles to form as many different pentominoes as you can. Each time you think you’ve found a new one, record the arrangement on grid paper, cut it out, and use the cut-out to make sure the figure is really different from all the others you’ve found so far. How many pentominoes can your team find?

Adding & Subtracting with Expanded FormExpanded form is a way to write numbers that shows the place value of each digit.
1,638 = 1,000 + 600 + 30 + 8
Thinking about numbers in expanded form helps us understand place value and can make adding and subtracting easier.
1 Write these numbers in expanded form:
a 3,917 =
b 6,025 =
2 Write these numbers as base ten numerals.
ex 5,000 + 80 + 3 = 5,083
a 6,000 + 700 + 80 + 5 =
b 1,000 + 800 + 3 =
3 Write the numbers 457 and 684 in expanded form. Then add them.
4 Write the numbers 878 and 356 in expanded form. Then find their difference.

Division Capture Instructions
Each pair of partners needs:
• 1 Division Capture Record Sheet to share
• 1 spinner overlay to share
• 1 red and 1 blue colored pencil
1 Players each spin the spinner. The player who gets the higher number goes first and decides whether to use the red or the blue pencil to mark their combinations.
2 Players take turns spinning the spinner and using the number spun to complete one of the division problems on the sheet. • Each player needs to be sure to use their own color, blue or red.• If the box a player needs is already filled, that player loses the turn. • Players try to capture 3, 4 or 5 boxes in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
3 Players continue taking turns until the game board is filled or neither player can use the number they spin 3 times in a row.
4 Players then circle the places on the grid where they got 3, 4 or 5 in a row, and add up their scores. The player with the higher score wins the game. 3 in a row scores 1 point; 4 in a row scores 2 points; 5 in a row scores 3 points
Note There are three different record sheets for this game. Each is more challenging than the one before it. If the first and second sheets are easy, try using the third sheet.

Estimating & Measuring AnglesAn entire rotation is equal to 360 degrees. You can estimate an angle’s measure by thinking about what fraction of a full rotation it is. In the pictures below, each angle is shown on a circle, and an arc is drawn to show what part of the circle corresponds to that angle.

a How long is their banner? Show your work.
b Find and mark all of the true statements about the fourth graders’ banner. N The banner is 3 times longer than it is wide. N The width of the banner is half the length. N The width of the banner is one-third the length. N The length of the banner is twice the width.
2 Tomas had a contest for his pet worms, Wiggle and Squiggle. He wanted to know which worm could crawl farther. Wiggle crawled 6 times as far as Squiggle. Wiggle crawled 42 centimeters.
a How far did Squiggle crawl? Show your work.
b Choose all the equations that could be used to represent this multiplicative comparison. (The letter s stands for the distance Squiggle crawled.)
N 6 × 42 = s N 42 ÷ 6 = s N 6 × s = 42 N 42 ÷ s = 6
3 Write and solve an equation to represent the multiplicative comparison in the first box. Then write your own multiplicative comparison to match the equation in the second box.

1 Draw a sequence of shapes in which every other shape has at least one line of symmetry.
2 Write a sequence of numbers in which each number is 3 times as big as the previous number.
3 Draw a sequence of shapes in which the number of sides increases by 1 with each additional shape.
4 Write a sequence of numbers in which each number is 7 more than the previous number.
5 CHALLENGE Come up with your own rule to create a patterned sequence of shapes or numbers. Work on a separate sheet of paper if you like.
