   AI-1 solves real-world problems with whole numbers from 0 through 100 using place value models, money, and the concepts of these properties to explain reasoning (2.4.A1a-b,d) ($):
      a. commutative property of addition, e.g., a student has a dime, a nickel, and a quarter to purchase a pencil; he/she totals the amount of the coins to see whether or not there is enough money; the student could count the quarter, nickel, and dime as 25¢ + 5¢ + 10¢ or as 25¢ + 10¢ + 5¢ because adding in any order does not change the sum;
      b. zero property of addition, e.g., a student has 6 marbles in one pocket and none in the other, so all together there are: 6 + 0 = 6;
      c. associative property of addition, e.g., a student has two dimes and a quarter; there are 2 ways to group the coins to find the total: 10¢ (dime) + 10¢ (dime) = 20¢, then add the quarter, 20¢ + 25¢ (quarter) = 45¢ or 10¢ (dime) + 25¢ (quarter) = 35¢, then add the other dime to 35¢ and 35¢ + 10¢ = 45¢ or (D + D) + Q = D + (D + Q) using coins or money models. (Basic Word Problems , Making Change , Making Change 2 , Counting Money )
   AI-2 performs various computational procedures with whole numbers from 0 through 100 using the concepts of these properties and explains how they were used (2.4.A1a-b):
      a. commutative property of multiplication, e.g., given 4 x 6, the student says: I know that 4 x 6 is 24 because I know 6 x 4 is 24 and multiplying in any order gets the same answer;
      b. zero property of multiplication without computing, e.g., 7 x 3 x 4 x 0 x 5 = □, the student says: I know the answer (product) is zero because no matter how many factors you have, when you multiply with a 0, the product is zero;
      c. associative property of addition, e.g., 9 + 8 could be solved as 1 + (8 + 8) or (1 + 8) + 8, the student says: I don't know 9 + 8, but I know my doubles (8 + 8), so I made the 9 into 1 + 8 and added 8 + 8 and then added 1 more to make 17.

Using front-end estimation, 362 is about 300 or 400 depending on the context of the problem. Using a "nice" number, 362 is about 350 because of the benchmark number - 350, since 350 is the halfway point between 300 and 400. (Rounding Numbers , Decimal Rounding to .01 )
   KBI-3 recognizes and explains the difference between an exact and an approximate answer (2.4.K1a), e.g., when asked how many students are in a classroom, an exact answer could be 24. Whereas, an approximate answer could be 20 since 24 could be rounded down to the nearest ten (underestimated) or rounded up to 30 (overestimated).
   AI-1 adjusts original whole number estimate of a real-world problem using numbers from 0 through 1,000 based on additional information (a frame of reference) (2.4.A1a) ($), e.g., if given a pint container and told the number of marbles it has in it, the student would estimate the number of marbles in a quart container.

   KBI-5 fair shares/measures out (divides) a total amount through 100 concrete objects into equal groups (2.4.K1a-b), e.g., fair sharing 52 pieces of candy with 8 friends resulting in eight groups of 6 with four pieces left over or measuring out into groups of eight 52 pieces of candy with four pieces left over. (Understanding Division )

(Beginner Multiplication , Fast Multiplication , Fast Multiplication Reverse , Multiplication Facts Strategies , Fast Division , Missing Factor )
   KBI-8 reads and writes horizontally, vertically, and with different operational symbols the same addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division expression, e.g., 4 • 6 is the same as 4 x 6 or 4(6) or 6 x 4 and 10 divided by 2 is the same as 10 ÷ 2 or 10/2.
   AI-1 ▴N solves one-step real-world addition or subtraction problems with ($):
      a. whole numbers from 0 through 10,000 (2.4.A1a-b), e.g., for the food drive, the school collected 564 cans (cylinders) and 297 boxes (rectangular prisms). How many items did they collect in all? This problem could be solved with base 10 models: by adding 500 + 200 (700), 60 + 90 (150), and 4 + 7 (11), so 700+ 150 + 11= 861; by adding 564 + 300 (864) and 297 is 3 less than 300, so 864 - 3 = 861; or by using the traditional algorithm;
      b. monetary amounts using dollar and cents notation through $500.00 (2.4.A1a-b,d), e.g., you are shopping for a new bicycle; at The Bike Store, the bike you want is $189.69 and at Sports for All, it is $162.89. How much will you save by buying the bike at Sports for All? (Basic Word Problems , Making Change )
