LEARNING TARGETS BY GRADE LEVEL

KINDERGARTEN

I can make a 10 from any given number between 1 and 9 by using addition strategies such as counting on, decomposing numbers, and using complementary pairs to reach the sum of 10 efficiently. Additionally, I can recognize number relationships and apply these strategies to solve related problems within 20 or beyond.

FIRST GRADE

I can create a story problem that involves both addition and subtraction by applying real-life contexts, such as combining quantities or comparing differences between amounts. I use strategies such as drawing pictures, using equations, or breaking down problems into simpler steps to make solving them easier. Additionally, I can compare two two-digit numbers using symbols (<, >, and =) by considering place values, recognizing which digit in the tens and ones place is larger, and understanding how number relationships affect comparisons.

SECOND GRADE

I can determine if a group of objects up to 20 is an odd or even number: I understand that an even number is divisible by 2, meaning it can be split into two equal groups without any remaining objects. Conversely, an odd number cannot be evenly divided by 2, leaving a remainder. To determine this, I count the objects in pairs or use simple division, identifying whether each pair has exactly two objects or if there's an extra one left over.

I can write an equation to express an even number as two equal addends: I know that even numbers can be represented as two numbers that, when added together, equal the even number. For example, for the number 10, I can write the equation 5+5=105 + 5 = 105+5=10, or similarly, 3+7=103 + 7 = 103+7=10. This helps me understand that any even number can be broken down into two parts that together form the whole number, emphasizing the concept of balance and equality.

THIRD and FOURTH GRADE

I can understand multiplicative comparisons: Multiplicative comparisons involve comparing two quantities by considering how many times one quantity is greater or smaller than another. For example, if there are 4 times as many apples as oranges, this illustrates a multiplicative comparison. Similarly, if a recipe requires 3 times as much flour as sugar, we are making a multiplicative comparison. These comparisons often use words like "times," "as many," "twice," "three times," and so on. In essence, multiplicative comparisons focus on scaling one quantity relative to another based on a specific factor or ratio, helping to understand relationships between quantities in a more mathematical and structured way.

FIFTH GRADE

I can use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions: Using parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions helps group parts of the expression to clarify the order of operations.

• Parentheses (()) are used to indicate the highest level of precedence, meaning calculations inside parentheses are performed first. For example: 5 + (3 × 2) is calculated as 5 + 6, not 8.
• Brackets ([]) and Braces ({}) are used for similar purposes, often in more complex multi-step expressions. For example: 3 + [4 × (2 + 1)] ensures that calculations within each grouping are done in the correct order.

When solving expressions, these symbols help clearly define which calculations are done first, second, and so on, making the expression easier to interpret and solving steps easier to follow.
