Assessment Strategies

The learner will:

 

1.1 Understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense

 

Computation and Estimation

Show understanding of whole number operations (+,-, X, ¸)

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers

Use metal arithmetic, pencil and paper, or calculator as appropriate to the task involving whole numbers

Identify situations involving whole numbers in which estimation is useful

Use estimation to predict computation results and to determine the reasonableness of answers, for example estimating a grocery bill

 

Benchmarks

Attributes and dimensions

Understand and apply        concepts and procedures from

measurement

Understands concepts of perimeter, area, and volume

Use directly measurable attributes such as length, perimeter, area, volume/capacity, angle, weight/mass, money, and temperature to describe and compare objects

Approximation and Precision

Understand that measurement is approximate

Estimate to predict and determine when measurements are reasonable, for example estimating the length of the playground by pacing it off

To meet this standard the learner will:

1.1

Uses physical models to solve problems involving a combination of any two whole operations

Writes number sentences representing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division situations

Describes and justifies  reasonableness of an estimate to a division context

Divides by 10’s, and 100’s

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit numbers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.2

Computes perimeter, area, length, weight/mass, time and temperature when given a real life problem

Solves realistic problems involving measurement of perimeter, area, length, weight and mass, time and temperature when given diagrams or objects

Uses appropriate vocabulary and symbols to compare attributes of perimeter

Determines and justifies whether exact or approximate measures are needed when given a realistic situation

Understands estimation can be used to predict and determine reasonableness of measurement, understands there are numerous strategies for estimation

Use non standard units to measure objects
