Mathematics

Number & Operations:

  • Counts a set of objects by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s and compares sets of objects using appropriate terminology (i.e. same, more, less).
  • Finds combinations of numbers that equal 100.
  • Composes and decomposes numbers in multiple ways up to 100.
  • Demonstrates an understanding of place values for 1’s, 10’s, and 100’s for numbers up to 1000.
  • Develops understanding for odd and even numbers.
  • Demonstrates an understanding of the fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 as part of wholes.
  • Recognizes the effect of an operation on whole numbers using addition and subtraction.
  • Recognizes, understands, and solves different types of subtraction situations.
  • Matches addition and subtraction notations to situations they could represent.
  • Maintains automaticity with combinations of 10.
  • Knows with automaticity addition facts to 20 and subtraction facts to 10.
  • Develops fluency with subtraction facts to 20.
  • Adds and subtracts two digit numbers using more than one strategy that the student can explain with effciency and accuracy.
  • Chooses from a variety of strategies to solve addition/subtraction problems based on the numbers given in the problem.

Geometry:

  • Sorts, describes, and identifies 2-D and 3-D shapes by various attributes.
  • Composes and decomposes 2-D and 3-D shapes.
  • Investigates and predicts the results of putting together and taking apart 2-D and 3-D shapes.
  • Finds and describes objects that have mirror symmetry.
  • Constructs 2-D and 3-D symmetrical designs.

Measurement:

  • Compares the effects on measurement of using units of different sizes.
  • Understands the need for using a standard unit.
  • Uses direct and indirect comparison to compare lenght.
  • Measures and records lenghts and distances to the nearest: inch, half inch & centimeter.
  • Tells time to the: hour and 1/2 hour, 5 minutes.

Data & Probability:

  • Sorts and categorizes based on attributes.
  • Identifies sorting rules.
  • Gathers, collects, and organizes data (using concrete objects, pictures, tallies, observations and surveys).
  • Describes and explains representations of data.
  • Represents data in several ways (i.e. using objects, pictographs, lists, tallies, tables, bar graphs, and line plots.
  • Compares data sets.
  • Describes and interprets data to explain what the data show.

Algebra:
