K-5 Math- September
Zero Unit
This year we started the first three days of school with Unit 0. This unit was designed to launch the rules and procedures for math workshop using the icons and language from this math norms poster.
Kindergarten Math
Count Quantities 1-5
Throughout Topic 1, students use the standard list of counting words in order (one, two, three, four, five). They learn to count a set of objects by pairing each object with one and only one number. Students will learn the important role 0 plays in counting.
Cardinality of a Group of Objects
Students learn the important concepts that when counting a group of objects, the last number said tells how many objects are in the group. The number of objects in the group is not affected by their arrangement.
Read and Write Numerals 0 to 5
Students read numerals 1 to 5 and use tracing and dot prompts to write the numerals that tell how many objects are counted.
1st Grade Math
"Add To" and "Take From" Situations
Students are given the starting amount and the amount that is added. The result is unknown. Students use concrete representations and an addition equation to find the result. Connecting cubes help students to see how quantities in a problem are related.
In "take-from" problems, students are given the starting amount and the amount that is taken away. The result is unknown.. Students will continue to use concrete representations and a subtraction equation to find the result.
"Put Together"/"Take Apart" Situations
Students solve "put together" problems. These situations are also know as part-part-whole situations. Part-part-whole mats helps students see how the quantities in a problem are related.
"Compare" Situations
A "compare" situation involves a larger quantity, a smaller quantity, and the difference between the quantities.
2nd Grade Math
Add and Subtract Within 20
Students use addition strategies such as counting on, adding in any order, using doubles and near doubles, making 10, and analyzing addition fact patterns.
Students use subtraction strategies such as counting on and counting back, thinking addition to subtract, and making 10.
Even or Odd Numbers
Students develop their understanding of even and odd numbers and examine patterns related to even and odd numbers.
Equal Groups
Students use repeated addition and write equations to find the total number of objects in an array. Students learn to connect the parts of the equation to the array.
3rd Grade Math
Multiplication Situations
Students will look at equal-group situations and arrays while looking at a bar model and number lines as well.
Division Situations
Students will look at Equal Groups: Group Size Unknown and Equal Groups: Number of Groups Unknown using bar diagrams
Patterns in Multiplication
Students will look at patterns in multiplication, properties and situations involving equal groups.
4th Grade Math
Place Value
Students will look at different ways to represent whole numbers in standard, word and expanded form. They will also look at place-value relationships.
Compare and Round Whole Numbers
Students will compare multi-digit whole numbers and rounding numbers finding the nearest multiple of a specified power of 10.
Fluently Add and Subtract Multi-Digit Whole Numbers
Students will use mental math to add and subtract using the different properties. They will also look at the standard algorithm.
5th Grade Math
Whole-Number Place Value
Students will be learning about the exponents and the power of 10 as well as place value relationships in whole numbers.
Decimal Place Value
Students will learn the relationships in decimals and how to read and write decimals. They will also compare and round decimals.
Use Models and Strategies to Add and Subtract Decimals
Students will develop number sense by using mental math to add and subtract decimals as well as estimate sums and differences. They will also add and subtract decimals.
