  • = 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. Feedback Boxes are provided with several activities to report progress toward these Expectations. Look for the box ( ) on the Unit 9 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 9 Expectations

Math Content

X

Content Expectations. The Expectations assessed in this unit focus on concepts of number and number 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 3. Computation and Estimation: Use efficient and flexible procedures to compute accurately and make reasonable estimates.

E7. Use order of operations to make calculations that involve exponents and the use of parentheses. (Algebra 3)

The Content section of the Unit 9 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.Benchmark Expectations

Number 1

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

E1

 Identify and categorize prime, composite, and square numbers. [6.NS.2, 3, 4] [MP2, 7, 8]

E2

 Identify and find multiples of numbers. [5.NF.1] [MP2, 7]

E3

 Identify and describe number patterns. (Algebra1) [5.OA.3] [MP2, 7, 8]

Number 3

Computation and Estimation: Use efficient and flexible procedures to compute accurately and make reasonable estimates.

E4

 Use variables in formulas to represent number patterns and make predictions. [5.OA.3] [MP2, 7]

E5

 Find all the factors of a number for numbers between 1 and 100. [6.NS.2, 3, 4] [MP2, 6, 7]

E6

 Find the prime factorization of a number. [6.NS.4] [MP2, 6, 7, 8]

E7

 Use order of operations to make calculations that involve exponents and the use of parentheses. (Algebra 3) [5.OA.1, 2] [MP1, 2, 6]

Data 2

Data Representation: Select and create appropriate representations, including tables and graphs, for organizing, displaying, and analyzing data.

E8

 Represent number patterns using words, tables, and graphs. (Algebra 2) [5.OA.3] [MP1, 4, 5, 6]

Data 3

Data Description: Describe a data set by interpreting graphs, identifying patterns, and using statistical measures e.g., average and range.

E9

 Make predictions and generalizations using data tables and graphs. (Algebra 4) [5.OA.3] [MP1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Math Practices

X

Math Practices Expectations. Students use the Math Practices Expectations on the Math Practices page in the Student Guide 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 9 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 strategies [MPE2], checking for reasonableness [MPE5], 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.
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.
MPE6 Use labels. I use labels to show what numbers mean.
