NUMBERS, NUMBER SYSTEMS AND NUMBER RELATIONSHIPS
  • Read and write numbers to one million using whole numbers.
  • Write numbers to 10,000 using expanded notation.
  • Explain, write, and model examples of equivalent fractions, including the fractional equivalent of 1.
  • Use models to represent basic fractions and decimals.
  • Calculate change up to $99.99.
  • Make change up to $9.99 using the smallest number of bills and coins.
  • Interpret place value to one million.
     

COMPUTATION AND ESTIMATION

  • Calculate sums and differences of numerical and word problems whose answers contain up to four digits.
  • Calculate products and quotients of numerical and word problems with two digit multipliers and divisors.
  • Add and subtract fractions with like denominators in numerical and/or word problems.
  • Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators without regrouping when only one of the fractions must be changed to its equivalent.
  • Demonstrate the ability to round numbers up to the thousands place.
  • Demonstrate proficiency with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of money in numerical and word problems.
  • Estimate, prior to calculation, in order to find a probable solution.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in the use of a calculator.
  • Describe problem-solving strategies used in a variety of numerical and word problems.
  • Predict and calculate elapsed time.
  • Demonstrate mental proficiency of basic multiplication facts up to 12x12.
     

MATHEMATICAL REASONING AND CONNECTIONS

  • Justify and give examples of other ways to solve problems.
  • Compare strengths and weaknesses of various strategies used to solve a problem-solving situation.
  • Explain basic valid and invalid arguments within mathematical contexts.
     

MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING AND COMMUNICATION

  • Create and write story problems using the following strategies
  1. given a number sentence, state a word problem in own words
  2. model problem with diagrams or physical objects
  • Use trial and error and the process of elimination to solve problems. (Guess and test.)
  • Explain the method and reasoning behind the problem's solution to determine reasonableness and to verify results with respect to the original problem.
     

STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS

  • Systematically collect, organize, and display data for given situations using line plots and bar graphs, including horizontal and vertical double bar graphs.
  • Interpret and explain data from tables, line plots, and bar graphs, giving convincing arguments that are based on data analysis and previous experiences.
  • Describe data sets using mean (averaging).
     

PROBABILITY AND PREDICTIONS

  • Generate a list of all possible outcomes of given events by constructing a table or developing an organized list.
     

ALGEBRA AND FUNCTIONS

  • Create, extend, and describe a pattern.
  • Create a picture on a grid, and identify the coordinate points.
  • Interpret and draw conclusions about data.
  • Gather information, analyze the collected data, and display it in a table.
     

GEOMETRY

  • Identify basic geometric shapes (circle, triangle, quadrilateral, and other polygons) and describe the differences between them.
  • Identify, draw and label quadrilaterals.
  • Identify the transformations of a given 2-dimensional figure by turning, sliding, or flipping it.
  • Identify congruent and similar polygons.
  • Identify and draw lines of symmetry.
  • Identify, name, and describe the differences between a ray, a line, and a line segment.

TRIGONOMETRY

  • Compare and describe the differences between right angles, obtuse angles, and acute angles.
  • Identify, draw, and label right, obtuse, acute, and straight angles.
