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.

• In order to communicate mathematical ideas, we must be able to understand and use the language of math.

• A sense of number is necessary to find reasonable solutions.

• Recognizing patterns helps us make sense of our world.

• Mathematics is a tool for communication.

• Interpreting data displays helps us make sense of information.

• Appropriate tools and units are needed to measure.

• Recognition and expression of size communicates measurement relationships.

• 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?

• Why does having a sense of number help find reasonable estimations?

• In what ways can computation be expressed in problem solving situations?

• What determines when you use addition or subtraction?

• What are common patterns in daily life?

• What are some frequently used number patterns for counting?

• 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?

• How do we measure time?

• How are computation skills and techniques used strategically in real-world situations?

• In what ways can reasoning be expressed in problem solving situations?

• What makes for a reasonable 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.

Standard 1:  Number Sense - March

Review prior high frequency number sense concepts

Identify and use ordinal numbers first to tenth

Identify tens and ones place value

Make reasonable estimates to 40

Identify commonly used fractions thirds and quarters

Demonstrate ability to chose and apply strategies to solve mathematical and real world problems (estimation)

Identify a quarter and its value

 Standard 2: Patterns - March

Review prior high frequency pattern concepts

 Standard 3: Data and Graphs - March

Review prior high frequency data and graphs concepts

 Standard 4: Geometry - March

 Standard 5:  Measurement - March

Measure the length of different object using inches

Demonstrate concepts of time (minutes, seconds, hours)

 Standard 6:  Computation - March

Review prior high frequency computation skills

Demonstrate ability to chose and apply strategies to solve mathematical and real world problems (addition, subtraction, estimation).
