Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 x (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 x (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

Problem 1: The Expo LineThe new Expo Line extends the railway line from Culver City to Santa Monica. There are 7 new stations (see photo below) from Downtown Santa Monica to Culver City.

Use the map above, what you know about the Expo Line, and your knowledge of mathematical expressions to write an expression that represents the story below.

a. Jose took the Expo Line from Downtown Santa Monica to Westwood/Rancho Park so he could go to the movie theater. That ride took 11 minutes. When he got off the train, he walked 6 minutes to the movie theater, where he waited for 10 minutes, for his friend who was coming from downtown LA. Once his friend arrived, they got their tickets and watched the movie, which took 103 minutes in all. Jose invited his friend to sleepover at his house and they walked back to Westwood/Rancho Park station and took the 11 minute ride back to the Downtown Santa Monica station. Write an expression that represents the amount of time from the moment Jose left the Santa Monica station to when he returned.

b. Write your own story about the Expo Line and an expression with at least 3 numbers that represents that story. Think of measuring things in minutes, the number of stops, or distance. Use a set of parentheses at least once in your expression.

Problem 3: Bike ExtensionA fifth grade math class decided they wanted to beat the world record for a tandem bicycle that had enough seats for 52 riders that was built in Augusta, Maine. They decided that they wanted to build a bike that their entire 5th grade class could ride. There were 72 students in their 5th grade class.

They started off with a 2-wheel bike, and added one more wheel for each additional person who was riding. There were 36 spokes on each bicycle wheel, including the first two wheels.

Once they built the bike, they decided each wheel needed an additional 12 spokes to support the weight of all the people on the bike.

Write an expression that shows the total number of spokes on the bicycle after they added the additional 12 spokes to each wheel.

Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Problem 1: Saturday and Sunday Bicycle TripAnita is going on a bicycle trip this weekend and wants to see how biking a certain distance every hour will change the total number of miles she bicycles.

On Saturday, she decided to bicycle 4 miles every hour. In other words, she added 4 miles to her total trip for every hour that went by.

On Sunday, she decided to bicycle 8 miles every hour. In other words, she added 8 miles to her total trip for every hour that went by.

Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.

Problem 2: Miles of Sidewalk TraveledSome 5th grade students in Mr. Bleu’s class measured how far each student would walk during 45-minute class period and represented the data in the line plot below. Each “X” represents the distance one student was able to bike. Answer the questions based on the line plot, which measures from 0 miles to 2 miles.

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

Problem 1: Schools in Santa MonicaIn the problem below, the X-axis represents the direction from East to West and the Y-axis represents the direction from North to South.
