Mathematics

Number & Operations:

  • Demonstrates understanding of place value and the magnitude for numbers up to 100.
  • Composes and decomposes numbers in multiple ways up to 1000.
  • Skip counts by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s up to 100 and up to 1000.
  • Understands the relationship between skip counting and grouping.
  • Finds factors of numbers using factor pairs.
  • Demonstrates an understanding of the characteristics of odd and even numbers and how they behave when combined.
  • Understands common fractions (1/2, 1/3, and 1/4) as parts of wholes and parts of groups.
  • Knows common fraction equivalents, especially relationships among halves, thirds, and sixths.
  • Understands that the relationships that occur between 0 and 1 also occur between any consecutive whole numbers.
  • When solving problems, selects and uses appropriate operations to solve addition, subtraction, mulitplication, and division problems.
  • Understands the effect of an operation on whole numbers.
  • Maintains automaticity with addition and subtraction facts to 20.
  • Demonstrates automaticity with multiplication facts (0-5) and the realted division facts and fluency with fats 6-10.
  • Uses efficient, accurate, and flexible mental and written strategies based on numerical reasoning to find: sums and differences of multi-digit numbers (up to 3-digit number); products of 1-and 2-digit numbers and 1-digit numbers by 10 and multiples of 10; quotients (dividing whole numbers up to 2-digits by 1-digit divisors).
  • Develops, records, explains, and compares strategies for estimating and computing problems in more than one way.

Geometry:

  • Invesitages and predicts the results of putting together and taking apart 2-D shapes.
  • Recognizes the components of polygons (sides and vertices) and how the components of polygons are put together to form whole shapes.
  • Identifies and describes the results of sliding, flipping and turning 2-D shapes.
  • Identifies, describes, and draws intersecting, parallel and perpendicular shapes.
  • Recongnizes the components of polyhedra (faces, verices, edges) and how the components of polyhedra are put together to form whole shapes.
  • Identifies and builds 3-D objects from 2-D objects.

Measurement:

  • Compares the effects on measurement of using units of different sizes; understands that smaller unit will result in a larger number of units used.
  • Demonstrates understanding of the rationale for a standard unit of measure.
  • Tells time to the minute.
  • Counts mixed collections of pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters to at least $1.00 and represents with the appropriate notation.
  • Estimates, measures, and compares lenght (to the nearest inch, half inch, centimeter, quarter inch and half centimeter).
  • Finds the area of shapes by identifying smaller units of area, such as square units and half units.
  • Measures the perimeter of geometric figures.

Data & Probability:

  • Collects and organizes data using observations, surveys, and experiments.
  • Represents data using tables, bar graphs, line graphs, and line plots.
  • Chooses and constructs representations that are appropriate for a data set.
  • Describes the shape of the data and analyzes it for patterns.
  • Describes events with terms such as likely, unlikely, more likely, and less likely.
  • Predicts the probability of outcomes of simple experiments, tests the predictions and records results.

Algebra:

  • Recognizes, describes, and extends geometric and numeric patterns.
  • Identifies the core/unit of repeating and growing patterns.
  • Explains and applies a rule for a pattern.
  • Represents the idea of a variable as an unknown quantity using a letter or a symbol.
  • Expresses mathematical relationships using equations.

Communication & Representation:

  • Creates and uses representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
  • Selects and applies appropriate mathematical representations to slove problems and demonstrate solution methods.
  • Presents mathematical ideas and solutions in written, oral and visual forms.
  • Communicates mathematically thinking coherently to others.
  • Uses the language of mathematics to precisely express mathematical ideas and solution methods.
  • Analyzes and evaluates the mathematical thinking and strategies of others.

Problem Solving:

  • Selects, develops, adapts and applies strategies to solve a wide variety of problems.
  • Transfers and generalizes previous experience to new problem solving situations.
  • Builds new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.
  • Demonstrates persistence in problem solving.
  • Verifies results.
