Being able to write clear, understandable sentences and paragraphs that develop a main idea. In Mathematics, students are taught how to multiply multi-digit numbers by a single-digit number (for example, 2345 x 6 = ______) as well as use letters. boxes, or other symbols to stand for a number in simple equations (for example, 3 x M = 12).
