Math

Math First Quarter

• Develop number sense for whole numbers through
  9,999
• Connect model, number word and number using a
  variety of representations, place value (ones
  through thousands), compare and order
• Develop fluency with multi-digit addition and
  subtraction through 9,999 using strategies,
  estimation, and relationship between operations
• Use basic properties (identity, commutative,
  associative) for addition and subtraction
• Develop flexibility in solving problems by
  selecting strategies and using mental
  computation, estimation, calculators or
  computers, and paper and pencil
• Use a rectangular coordinate system to solve
  problems, graph and identify points with whole
  number and/or letter coordinates, and describe
  the path between given points on the plane
• Describe extend numeric and geometric patterns
• Extend find missing terms of repeating and
  growing patterns

18
Math Second Quarter

• Develop fluency with multiplication from 1 x 1 to
  12 x 12 and division up to 2-digit by 1 digit
  numbers using strategies for multiplying and
  dividing numbers, estimation of products and
  quotients, in appropriate situations, and
  relationship between operations
• Use basic properties (identity, commutative,
  associative, order of operations) for
  multiplication and division
• Develop flexibility in solving problems by
  selecting strategies and using mental
  computation, estimation, calculators or
  computers, and paper and pencil
• Solve problems using measurement concepts and
  procedures involving equivalent measures (mass)
  within the same measurement system
• Estimate and measure using appropriate units
  using mass (ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms) and
  temperature (Fahrenheit and Celsius)
• Permutations and combinations up to 3 items and
  solve probability problems using permutations and
  combinations

19
Math Third Quarter

• Use area or region models and set models of
  fractions to explore part-whole relationships,
  represent fractions concretely and symbolically
  (halves, fourths, thirds, sixths, eighths),
  compare order fractions (halves, fourths,
  thirds, sixths, eighths) using models and
  benchmark numbers (0, ½, 1)
• Model and describe common equivalents, especially
  relationships between halves, fourths, and
  eighths, and thirds and sixths, understand that
  the fractional relationships that occur between 0
  and 1 also occur between every two consecutive
  whole number, and understand and use mixed
  numbers and their equivalent fraction forms
• Develop flexibility in solving problems by
  selecting strategies and using mental
  computation, estimation, calculators or
  computers, and paper and pencil
• Solve problems using measurement concepts and
  procedures involving elapsed time and equivalent
  measures (capacity and length) within the same
  measurement system
• Estimate and measure using appropriate units of
  capacity (cups, pints, quarts, gallons, liters)
  and length (miles, kilometers)
• Use symbols to represent unknown quantities in
  number sentences and find the value of the
  unknown in a number sentence

20
Math Fourth Quarter

• Develop flexibility in solving problems by
  selecting strategies and using mental
  computation, estimation, calculators or
  computers, and paper and pencil
• Solve problems using measurement concepts and
  procedures involving elapsed time
