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

•  Mathematics is dependent on place value.

• A sense of number is necessary to communicate the reasoning used in problem solving.

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

• In what ways does number sense, including estimations and mental math, help solve real-world problems?

• In what ways can I communicate the reasoning used in problem solving situations? 

• What makes for a quality solution?

• What essential components are needed to solve real-world problems?

• How do perimeter and area relate to addition and multiplication?

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.
