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

• 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 communicate mathematical reasoning and to find reasonable solutions.

• Mathematics is dependent on place value.

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

• Recognizing patterns helps us make sense of our world

• Graphics are tools used to clarify data.

• Interpreting data displays helps us make sense of information.

• We make predictions based on probability.
  Geometry builds our world.

• Recognition and expression of size communicates measurement relationships.

• Appropriate tools and units are needed to measure.

• Computation and fluency in basic mathematical operations are vital skills.

• Estimation and computation are vital tools.

Essential Questions are 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?

• What is a pattern?  Where do we find patterns?  What can patterns reveal?

• What is geometry? How do we use geometry in our everyday lives? How does geometry build our world?

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.
