Benchmark Expectations. Several of the Expectations are prioritized as Benchmark Expectations because they are particularly important concepts and skills to be learned in this unit. Benchmark Expectations identify the concepts and skills that are central to the unit, are prerequisites for learning content in an upcoming unit, are the last significant opportunity for assessment in the curriculum or grade, or are concepts commonly assoiated with difficulties or misconceptions. These Expectations are marked with a red circle in the Key Assessment Opportunities Chart.

Feedback Boxes. Feedback Boxes are provided with several activities to report progress toward these Expectations. Look for the box ( ) on the Unit 2 Key Assessment Opportunities Chart. See Figure 2. In this unit, students will also get better acquainted with the Math Practices Expectations by discussing them in the context of a specific problem, receiving feedback, reviewing a peer's work, and revising their own work.

Unit 2 Expectations

Math Content

X

Content Expectations. The Expectations assessed in this unit focus on developing geometric concepts.


The Content section of the Unit 2 Key Assessment Opportunities Chart identifies some of the activities in the unit that are appropriate for assessing students, abilities with expectations related to these concepts.

Geometry 1 Shapes: Identify, describe, classify, and analyze 2- and 3-dimensional shapes based on their properties.

E1

 Identify and name two-dimensional shapes. [1.G.1]

E2

 Describe the properties of two-dimensional shapes (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, number of corners). [1.G.1]

E3

 Compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes using their properties (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, number of corners). [1.G.1, MP2]

E4

 Compose and decompose two-dimensional shapes using pattern blocks. [1.G.2; MP5]
Geometry 4 Geometric Reasoning: Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.

E5

 Justify visual and spatial reasoning by identifying the properties of shapes. [1.G.1, 2, MP3, 5]

Math Practices

X

Math Practices Expectations. Students use the Math Practices Expectations on the Math Practices page in the Student Activity Book Reference section to help them focus on practices related to both problem solving and communication. Students become more comfortable with these Expectations by reviewing them before, during, and after solving a problem and by deciding how well they are met in their work and the work of others.


The Math Practices section of the Unit 2 Key Assessment Opportunities Chart identifies activities in the unit that are appropriate for assessing students' use and development of the math practices related to problem-solving habits and communication skills. In this unit, students will focus on showing their work [MPE5].

MPE1 Know the problem. I read the problem carefully. I know the questions to answer and what information is important.
MPE2 Find a strategy. I choose good tools and an efficient strategy for solving the problem.
MPE3 Check for reasonableness. I look back at my solution to see if my answer makes sense. If it does not, I try again.
MPE4 Check my calculations. If I make mistakes, I correct them.
MPE5 Show my work. I show or tell how I arrived at my answer so someone else can understand my thinking. [MP3, 6]
MPE6 Use labels. I use labels to show what numbers mean.
