Assessment Blueprints - As District 11 Diamond Units/Lessons are designed and linked to the Math Web, we will add the Assessment Blueprints that teachers created. Teachers creating Diamond Units and Lessons design those based on the concepts found in Understanding by Design. It promotes the development of a comprehensive assessment plan before any of the activities are designed. This guarantees that learning activities are appropriately aligned to standards, and provide varied opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery.
Before presenting the lessons, we encourage you to review the following Assessment Blueprint for the September unit.
September Assessment
Teacher observation, Hundreds Chart, Calendar Activities, Math Bingo, Manipulative/White Board/Slate assessments, EDM assessment CD’s.

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

• Number fluency leads to facility with real life mathematics such as money, time, and computation.

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

• How can you prove that a number is greater than, less than, or equal to another number? Does your answer work with facts as well?

• How would you explain even and odd numbers to your little brother or sister?

• Can you tell someone else what time you go to bed (or other daily event) in two different ways?

• How can you tell whether to add or subtract in a word problem that doesn’t come right out and tell you?

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 - September
Read, write and order numbers up to 200
Identify odd/even numbers to 20
Know different names for the same number (5+5=10 and 2+8=10)
Understand greater than, less than, equal to
Add coins to $1.00 (practice counting combinations of coins: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters)
Understand and use ordinal numbers (first to twentieth)
Use the terms of estimation correctly (about, near, closer to, a little less than)
Understand greater than, less than, equal to (use basic addition and subtraction facts)
Standard 2:  Algebra and Patterns - September
Identify, describe, create, and extend number patterns (fill in the missing numbers in a pattern).
Identify, describe, create, and extend patterns in shapes
Standard 4:  Geometry - September
Label shapes appropriately by name
Standard 5:  Measurement - September
Tell time to the hour
Tell time to the half hour
