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

• Numbers can be represented, ordered, and communicated in many different forms.

• Mathematics is a tool for communication.

• Interpreting data displays helps us make sense of information.

• What essential computational skills are needed to solve real world problems?

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

• In what ways can numbers be communicated, represented, and ordered (one to one correspondence and money)?

• What are the different ways to communicate math ideas?

• What determines when you use addition or subtraction?

• What are the graphic tools we use to clarify data and when do we use them?

• What mathematical tools are used in problem solving situations to create simple graphs?

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.
