PS/IS 276 Common Core State Standard Expectations for Mathematics Presentation By: SLT Mathematics Committee

Pacing of skills from the CCSS At each grade level there are standards that are paced out throughout the year.  Students may fluctuate between levels at any time during instruction Levels are based on curriculum assessments, teacher assessments and teacher observations There are different standards of instruction for January and June assessments

Kindergarten January CCS Standards Measurement and Data Describe and compare measurable attributes. 1.Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. 2.Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. 3.Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.

Counting and Cardinality Count to tell the number of objects. 4.Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. a. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. b. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. c. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking Understanding addition as putting together and adding to, and understanding subtraction as taking apart and taking from. 1.Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. 2.Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Kindergarten Standards Math Levels

First Grade January CCS Standards Operations and Algebraic Thinking Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. 1.Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. 2.Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Work with addition and subtraction equations. 7.Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. 8.Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers.

Number and Operations in Base Ten Extend the counting sequence. 1.Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. Geometry: Reason with shapes and their attributes 1.Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes. 2.Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.4

Second Grade January CCS Standards Operations and Algebraic Thinking Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. 1.Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1 Add and Subtract within 20 2.Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

Reason with shapes and their attributes. Geometry Reason with shapes and their attributes. 1.Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.5 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. 2.Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them. 3.Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

Second Grade Standards Math Levels

Sixth Grade January CCS Standards The Number System Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. 1.Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples 2.Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. 3.Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation. 4.Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).

Geometry Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. 1.Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems 2.Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems 3.Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Expressions and Equations Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. 1.Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents 2..Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. a. Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation “Subtract y from 5” as 5 – y. b. Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity. For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole- number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s3 and A = 6 s2 to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
