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

• Multiplication is repeated addition. (groups of things added together)

• Mathematics vocabulary is necessary to communicate reasoning in problem solving.

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

• How are addition and multiplication related?

• Why are different tools used to measure different things?

• What mathematics vocabulary do you need to communicate mathematical ideas?

• Why are the different kinds of measurement important in everyday life?

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 in multiple test items on CSAP at this grade level. High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills will be tested 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.

Parents

Your child is working on a big concept this quarter; multiplication! Most children are excited and proud to learn how to multiply. You can help your child be successful by giving lots of hands-on practice creating equal groups of things to add together. Skip counting by numbers including but not limited to 2, 5, 10, and others, will strengthen your child's understanding of multiplication. Additionally, making arrays or equal groups of things arranged in rows helps some children visualize multiplication. Help your child experience all different types of measurement; time, weight, volume, length, and temperature. Work with money and ask them to talk about their thinking. You are your child's most important and influential teacher.
