  • = Denotes Benchmark Expectation

  • = Includes a Feedback Box

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 associated with difficulties or misconceptions. These Expectations are marked with a red circle in the Key Assessment Opportunities Chart.

Feedback Boxes. A Feedback Box is provided for one activity to report progress toward the Expectations. Look for the box ( ) on the Unit 4 Key Assessment Opportunities Chart. See Figure 2.

Unit 4 Expectations

Math Content

X

Content Expectations. The Expectations assessed in this unit focus on the concepts of number and operation related to decimals and decimal measurements. The unit also focuses on the algebraic concepts of identifying and using patterns. Because all the Algebra Key Ideas arise from and are closely connected to ideas in the other content strands, Expectations related to algebra will also be listed under a second content strand. For example:

Number 1. Number Sense: Understand the base-ten number system, recognize relationships among quantities and numbers, and represent numbers in multiple ways.

E2. Identify even and odd quantities using groups of two and groups of two with a leftover. (Algebra 1)

The Content section of the Unit 4 Key Assessment Opportunities Chart identifies some of the activities in the unit that are appropriate for assessing students' abilities with Expectations related to these algebra and number concepts.

Number 1

Number Sense: Understand the base-ten number system, recognize relationships among quantities and numbers, and represent numbers in multiple ways.

E1

 Compose and decompose numbers from 1–20 using counters, drawings, ten frames, number lines, diagrams, and number sentences. [1.NBT.1, 1.OA.6]

E2

 Identify even and odd quantities using groups of two and groups of two with a leftover. (Algebra 1) [1.NBT.1, MP7]

E3

 Represent quantities using a ten frame, counters, pictures, number lines, and symbols. [1.NBT.1]

E4

 Connect representations of quantities (e.g., counters, pictures, symbols). [1.NBT.1]
Number 2 Operations: Understand the meaning of numerical operations and their application for solving problems.

E5

 Solve addition problems using the counting-on strategy. [1.OA.5, 6]

E6

 Solve addition word problems (e.g., adding to, putting together, and comparing) involving two or three whole numbers whose sum is less than
or equal to 30 using tools (e.g., counters, number lines, calculators, diagrams,
ten frames, calendars). [1.OA.1, 2, 6, 8; MP1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8]

E7

 Represent addition situations with stories, drawings, diagrams, counters, number lines, and number sentences. (Algebra 3) [1.OA.7, MP1, 2, 3, 6, 8]

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 4 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 finding a strategy [MPE2] and 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. [MP5]
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 that someone else can understand my thinking. [MP1, 2, 6]
MPE6 Use labels. I use labels to show what numbers mean. [MP6]
