Number and Number Systems

* Use place value concepts to represent whole numbers and decimals using numerals, words, expanded notation and physical models. For example: (Place Value , Decimal Place Value )
   - Recognize 100 means "10 tens" as well as a single entity (1 hundred) through physical models and trading games. (Requires outside materials )
   - Describe the multiplicative nature of the number system; e.g., the structure of 3205 as 3 x 1000 plus 2 x 100 plus 5 x 1.
   - Model the size of 1000 in multiple ways; e.g., packaging 1000 objects into 10 boxes of 100, modeling a meter with centimeter and decimeter strips, or gathering 1000 pop-can tabs.
   - Explain the concept of tenths and hundredths using physical models, such as metric pieces, base ten blocks, decimal squares or money. (Requires outside materials )
* Identify and generate equivalent forms of whole numbers; e.g., 36, 30 + 6, 9 x 4, 46 - 10, number of inches in a yard.
* Represent fractions and mixed numbers using words, numerals and physical models. (Fraction Pictures )
* Count money and make change using coins and paper bills to ten dollars. (Making Change 2 , Counting Money )

Meaning of Operations

* Model and use the commutative and associative properties for addition and multiplication. (Associative Property 1 , Associative Property 2 , Commutative Property 1 , Commutative Property 2 )
* Explain and use relationships between operations, such as:
   - relate addition and subtraction as inverse operations; (Inverse Equations 1 )
   - relate multiplication and division as inverse operations; (Inverse Equations 2 )
   - relate addition to multiplication (repeated addition); (Understanding Multiplication )
   - relate subtraction to division (repeated subtraction). (Understanding Division )
* Model, represent and explain multiplication; e.g., repeated addition, skip counting, rectangular arrays and area model. For example: (Understanding Multiplication )
   - Use conventional mathematical symbols to write equations for word problems involving multiplication. (Arithmetic Word Problems , Basic Word Problems 2 )
   - Understand that, unlike addition and subtraction, the factors in multiplication and division may have different units; e.g., 3 boxes of 5 cookies each. (Unit Cost )
* Model, represent and explain division; e.g., sharing equally, repeated subtraction, rectangular arrays and area model. For example: (Understanding Division )
   - Translate contextual situations involving division into conventional mathematical symbols. (Arithmetic Word Problems , Basic Word Problems 2 )
   - Explain how a remainder may impact an answer in a real-world situation; e.g., 14 cookies being shared by 4 children. (Word Problems With Remainders )

Computation and Estimation

* Demonstrate fluency in multiplication facts through 10 and corresponding division facts. (Fast Multiplication , Fast Multiplication Reverse , Multiplication Facts Strategies , Fast Division )
* Evaluate the reasonableness of computations based upon operations and the numbers involved; e.g., considering relative size, place value and estimates.
* Add and subtract whole numbers with and without regrouping. (Addition Grouping , Long Addition , Long Subtraction , Basic Addition to 1000 , Basic Subtraction to 1000 )
* Multiply and divide 2- and 3-digit numbers by a single-digit number, without remainders for division. (Multiplication By One Digit , Long Division By One Digit )

Measurement Units

* Identify and select appropriate units for measuring:
   - length - miles, kilometers and other units of measure as appropriate.
   - volume (capacity) - gallons;
   - weight - ounces, pounds, grams, or kilograms;
   - temperature - degrees (Fahrenheit or Celsius).
* Read thermometers in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.
* Establish personal or common referents to include additional units; e.g., a gallon container of milk; a postage stamp is about a square inch.

Use Measurement Techniques and Tools

* Read thermometers in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.
* Make estimates for perimeter, area and volume using links, tiles, cubes and other models.

Characteristics and Properties

* Analyze and describe properties of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using terms such as vertex, edge, angle, side and face.

Visualization and Geometric Models

* Build a three-dimensional model of an object composed of cubes; e.g., construct a model based on an illustration or actual object. (Requires outside materials )

Spatial Relationships

* Find and name locations on a labeled grid or coordinate system; e.g., a map or graph.

Transformations and Symmetry

* Draw lines of symmetry to verify symmetrical two-dimensional shapes.

Use Patterns, Relations and Functions

* Extend multiplicative and growing patterns, and describe the pattern or rule in words.
* Analyze and replicate arithmetic sequences with and without a calculator. (Patterns: Numbers )
* Use patterns to make predictions, identify relationships, and solve problems. (Function Tables , Function Tables 2 )

Use Algebraic Representations

* Express mathematical relationships as equations and inequalities. (Algebraic Sentences 2 , Algebraic Sentences )
* Model problem situations using objects, pictures, tables, numbers, letters and other symbols. (Arithmetic Word Problems )

Analyze Change

* Create tables to record, organize and analyze data to discover patterns and rules.
* Identify and describe quantitative changes, especially those involving addition and subtraction; e.g., the height of water in a glass becoming 1 centimeter lower each week due to evaporation. (Line Graphs )

Data Collection

* Collect and organize data from an experiment, such as recording and classifying observations or measurements, in response to a question posed.
* Support a conclusion or prediction orally and in writing, using information in a table or graph.
* Match a set of data with a graphical representation of the data.
* Analyze and interpret information represented on a timeline.
* Translate information freely among charts, tables, line plots, picture graphs and bar graphs; e.g., create a bar graph from the information in a chart.
* Draw and interpret picture graphs in which a symbol or picture represents more than one object. (Tally and Pictographs )
* Read, interpret and construct bar graphs with intervals greater than one. (Bar Graphs )

Statistical Methods

* Identify the mode of a data set and describe the information it gives about a data set.

Probability

* Conduct a simple experiment or simulation of a simple event, record the results in a chart, table or graph, and use the results to draw conclusions about the likelihood of possible outcomes.
* Use physical models, pictures, diagrams and lists to solve problems involving possible arrangements or combinations of two to four objects.
