Standards

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

• Numbers can be represented and communicated in different ways. Becoming familiar with geometric shapes, spatial vocabulary, numbers in graphic representations, and beginning measurement are important foundational concepts.

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

• What geometric shapes are found in nature? Are shapes flat (plane) or bulky (dimensional)?
• What words help us explain where things are located? (Where is the apple?)
• How can pictures show numbers and how they relate to each other?
• How could you measure the length of something if you didn’t have a ruler?
• How could you determine the weight of an object if you didn’t have a scale?

 

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.
