• Division: Students are introduced to division as sharing. Activities include sharing objects equally, writing division sentences, and solving word problems involving division.
• Fractions: Students are introduced to fractions as parts of a whole, focusing on halves, thirds, and quarters. Activities include folding paper to represent fractions, coloring parts of shapes to represent fractions, and solving word problems involving fractions.

Unit 2: Measurement: Metric Units, Money, and Time

• Length: Students learn to estimate and measure length using non-standard and standard units (sticks, rulers, meter rules, and tape measures). Activities include measuring classroom objects, distances within the school, and solving word problems involving length.
• Mass: Students learn to estimate and compare the weight of objects using non-standard units (e.g., 1 kg of soil) and a beam balance. Activities include comparing the weight of various objects to a 1 kg reference weight and answering questions about heavier and lighter objects.
• Capacity: Students learn to measure capacity using non-standard and standard units (bottles, cups, calabashes, liters, and half-liters). Activities include filling containers and comparing their capacity, converting between liters and half-liters, and solving word problems involving capacity.
