Standards

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

• Mathematics is dependent on place value.

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

• A sense of number is necessary to solve problems and communicate the reasoning used to predict outcomes.

• Graphics are tools used to clarify data.

• Interpreting data displays helps us make sense of information.

• Geometry builds our world.

• 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 most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

• How does a digit's place in a larger number effect its value?

• How can math words help us communicate the solutions to problems?

• How do patterns help us make sense of our world?

• In what ways do graphic representations help us understand information?

• How do predictions and estimations help us determine if our answers are reasonable?

• Why do we need to be fluent at computation?

• 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.
