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

• We need number sense and math words to communicate reasoning and to find reasonable solutions.

• Estimation and computation are vital math tools.

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

• Why is it important to learn math words? 

• How does having a sense of number help us find solutions and understand if our solutions are accurate?

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.
