GOAL 1: Count on by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s past 100 and back by 1s from any number less than 100 with and without number grids, number lines, and calculators. GOAL 2: Count collections of objects accurately and reliably; estimate the number of objects in a collection. GOAL 3: Read, write, and model with manipulatives whole numbers up to 1,000; identify places in such numbers and the values of the digits in those places. GOAL 4: Use manipulatives and drawings to model halves, thirds, and fourths as equal parts of a region or a collection; describe the model. GOAL 5: Use manipulatives to identify and model odd and even numbers. Understand equivalent names for numbers . GOAL 6: Use manipulatives, drawings, tally marks, and numerical expressions involving addition and subtraction of 1- or 2-digit numbers to give equivalent names for whole numbers up to 100. Understand common numerical relations. GOAL 7: Compare and order whole numbers up to 1,000. Operations and Computations Compute accurately. GOAL 1: Demonstrate proficiency with +/- 0, +/- 1, doubles, and sumequals- ten addition and subtraction facts such as 6+4= 10 and 10-7= 3. GOAL 2: Use manipulatives, number grids, tally marks, mental arithmetic, and calculators to solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of 1-digit whole numbers with 1- or 2-digit whole numbers; calculate and compare the values of combinations of coins. Make reasonable estimates. GOAL 3: Estimate reasonableness of answers to basic fact problems (e.g., Will 7 + 8 be more or less than 10?) Understand meaning of operations. GOAL 4: Identify change-to-more, change-to-less, comparison, and partsand- total situations. Data and Chance Select and create appropriate graphical representations of collected or given data. GOAL 1: Collect and organize data to create tally charts, tables, bar graphs, and line plots. Analyze and interpret data. GOAL 2: Use graphs to answer simple questions and draw conclusions; find the maximum and minimum of a data set. Understand and apply basic concepts of probability. GOAL 3: Describe events using certain, likely, unlikely, impossible and other basic probability terms. Measurement and Reference Frames Understand the systems and processes of measurement; use appropriate techniques, tools, units, and formulas in making measurements. GOAL 1: Use nonstandard tools and techniques to estimate and compare weight and length; measure length with standard measuring tools. GOAL 2: Know and compare the value of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills; make exchanges between coins. Use and understand reference frames. GOAL 3: Identify a thermometer as a tool for measuring temperature; read temperatures on Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers to the nearest 10 degrees. GOAL 4: Use a calendar to identify days, weeks, months, and dates; tell and show time to the nearest half and quarter hour on an analog clock. Geometry Investigate characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes. GOAL 1: Identify and describe plane and solid figures including circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, spheres, cylinders, rectangular prisms, pyramids, cones, and cubes. Apply transformations and symmetry in geometric situations. GOAL 2: Identify shapes having line symmetry; complete line-symmetric shapes or designs. Patterns, Functions, and Algebra Understand patterns and functions. GOAL 1: Extend, describe, and create numeric, visual, and concrete patterns; solve problems involving function machines, “What’s My Rule?” tables, and Frames-and-Arrows diagrams. Use algebraic notation to represent and analyze situations and structures. GOAL 2: Read, write, and explain expressions and number sentences using the symbols +, -, and + and the symbols > and < with cues; solve equations involving addition and subtraction. GOAL 3: Apply the Commutative Property of Addition and the Additive Identity to basic addition fact problems.
