Mathematics
1. BIG IDEA: Measure & Compare Objects- MD.1, MD.2, MD.3, MD.4, MD.6, MD.9: Determine the length of objects using standard units of measures, and use appropriate tools to classify objects, interpreting and comparing linear measures on a number line.
2. BIG IDEA: Represent Data- MD.7, MD.9, MD.10, G.2, G.3, NBT.2: Represent data by using line plots, picture graphs, and bar graphs, and interpret data in different representations, including clock faces to the nearest 5 minutes.
3. BIG IDEA: Dollars & Cents- MD.8, MD.5, NBT.1, NBT.2, NBT.5, NBT.6, NBT.7: Understand the unit values of money and compute different values when combining dollars and cents.
4. BIG IDEA: Problem Solving with Measure- NBT.7, NBT.1, MD.1, MD.2, MD.3, MD.4, MD.5, MD.6, MD.9, OA.1: Solve problems involving length measures using addition and subtraction.
5. BIG IDEA: Skip Counting to 100- NBT.1, NBT.3, NBT.7, OA.4, G.2: Use skip counting, counting bundles of 10, and expanded notation to understand the composition and place value of numbers up to 1,000. This includes ideas of counting in fives, tens, and multiples of hundreds, tens, and ones, as well as number relationships involving these units, including comparing.
6. BIG IDEA: Number Strategies- MD.5, NBT.5, NBT.6, NBT.7, OA.1, OA.2: Add and subtract 2-digit numbers, within 100, without using algorithms - instead encouraging different strategies and justification. Compare and contrast the different strategies using models, symbols, and drawings.
7. BIG IDEA: Seeing Fractions in Shapes- G.1, G.2, G.3, MD.7: Divide circles and rectangles into equal shares and know them to be standard unit fractions. Identify and draw 2D a 3D shapes, recognizing faces and angles.
8. BIG IDEA: Squares in an Array- OA.4, G.2, G.3, MD.6: Partition rectangles into rows and columns of unit squares to find the total number of square units in an array
