Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
-
Numbers can be
represented, ordered, and communicated by understanding patterns in our
number system.
-
In order to communicate
estimates, we must be able to understand and use the language of math.
-
Appropriate
computational skills are needed to communicate solutions of real world
problems.
Essential Questions
are the most important “big picture” questions students should
be able to answer after completing learning activities.
-
How do we communicate,
represent, and order numbers?
-
How can
we learn and apply estimation vocabulary and why is it important to
learn about estimation?
-
How do we use
and communicate our understanding of addition
and subtraction to solve problems?
-
How can geometry terms and
space awareness help us solve problems?
What
words help us explain where things are located? (Where is the apple?)

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. |

or Manipulative/White Board/Slate assessments, EDM assessment CD’s.
Parents
Consider helping your child finish out Kindergarten
mathematics well by reviewing any fun math activities you have done together
so far this year. The goal is to send your child to first grade with a full
mathematics tool box to use as math concepts become progressively more
complex. Add experiences with geometric shapes found in nature and around
the house. Be sure your child can name and draw the common 2 dimensional
shapes; circle, square, triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, hexagon, rhombus
(diamond). Talk about how the shapes are the same or different. Use
math words like about, near, closer to, and a little less than when talking
about quantities and values. Use objects (manipulatives) to solve simple
addition and subtraction problems together and talk about how you each got
the answer. Create and read simple bar and pictographs using data generated
from daily activities. Help your child recognize and name pennies, nickels,
dimes, and quarters in fun ways. These activities cost you nothing but gain
your child important mathematics understanding. We can't put a price on
that!
