Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

• Numbers can be shown, put in order, and spoken of in many different ways (one to one correspondence and money).

• We need number sense to help us find reasonable solutions.

• Mathematics is a way to communicate.

• Creating and analyzing data displays helps us make sense of information.

• Addition and subtraction and a sense of geometric shape can help us solve real world problems.

Essential Questions are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

• How can we show numbers and talk about them?

• How many different ways can you show and talk about this number _____?

• How can you use computation, reasoning, and estimation in solving problems?

• What can graphs tell us?

• How do you know when to use addition or subtraction?

• What are some geometry words? How can we use them to solve problems?

• How do we measure time? What are some non-standard units you could use to measure something?

• How do you know you have achieved a quality solution?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated at this grade level. High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills is expected at this grade level. Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.
