mathematics.

Assessment Strategies

The learner will:

 

1.1 Understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense

 

Benchmarks

Number and Numeration

Use pictures and symbols to demonstrate understanding of integers, fractions, decimals, percents, place value of non-negative decimals, and properties of the rational number system.

Compare and order integers, fractions, and decimals

Understand the concepts of prime and composite numbers, factors and multiples, and divisibility rules

Understand and apply the concepts of ratio and direct proportion

 

Computation

Understands operations on non-negative rational numbers

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide non-negative fractions and decimals using rules for order of operation

Use mental arithmetic, pencil and paper, calculator, or computer as appropriate to the task involving non-negative rational numbers.

 

To meet this standard the learner will:

1.1

Uses visual and physical models to explain equivalencies of fractions, decimals, and percents

Identifies, compares, and orders non-negative whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.

Uses visual and physical models to describe primes, composites, factors, and multiples, and determines divisibility by 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10.

Uses objects, pictures, and symbols to create equivalent ratios in part: whole context (ex: in probability, 5 wins in 50 draws is equivalent to 10 wins in 100 draws)

Finds missing values within proportional conditions (ex: if 2cm = 1 mi, then 8 cm =? mi) using ratios and rates

Adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides whole numbers

Adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers

Uses visual and physical models to demonstrate the meaning of division of simple fractions and decimals

Uses order of operations to simplify arithmetic expressions with whole numbers (multiplication and division, addition and subtraction)

Justifies the use of mental arithmetic, paper and pencil, calculator or computer as appropriate for a given situation

Determines and justifies the reasonableness of answers by estimating results prior to actual computation with whole numbers and factors

Assessment Strategies

 

The learner will:

1.1 Understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense

Estimation

Identify situations involving non-negative rational numbers in which estimation is sufficient and computation is not required

Use estimation to predict computation results and to determine the reasonableness of answers involving non-negative rational numbers, for example estimating a tip

 

Benchmarks

Attributes and dimensions

1.2 Understand and apply concepts

and procedures from

measurement

Understands the relationships of perimeter, area, and volume

Measures objects and events directly or using indirect methods such as finding the area of a rectangle given its length and width

Understands the concept of rate and how to calculate rates and determine units

Approximation and Precision

Understand that precision is related to the unit of measurement used and the calibration of the measurement tool

Uses estimation to obtain reasonable approximations, for example: estimating the length and width of the playground to approximate its area

To meet this standard the learner will:

 

 

1.1

Determines and justifies the reasonableness of answers by estimating results prior to actual computation with whole numbers and fractions

 

 

 

 

 

1.2

Determines area and volume when given dimensions of the object or space measured in customary or metric units of measurement

Determines the area of irregular shapes using customary and metric units of measurement

Applies the concept of ratio when constructing scale models using customary or metric units of measurement

Determines which U.S. or metric unit of measurement will result in the most appropriate measurement for a given situation

Explains how a precision depends on the calibration of the measuring tool

Use non standard units to measure objects
