| GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT Recognize and name 3 dimensional objects e.g. cubes, cylinders Estimate before measuring Use non-standard and standard units to measure length, perimeter Tell time to the nearest minute Use money to develop understanding of the value of money Use calendars Add and subtract money Count collections of coins Read and draw simple maps |
GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT Use geometric shapes to find patterns of corners, diagonal edges, etc. Read and draw simple maps using coordinates and grids Introduce parallel, perpendicular and right angles Estimate before measuring Use non-standard and standard units to measure length, area, temperature Tell time for a purpose Make simple scale drawings Add and subtract money Multiply and divide money by one digit Count collections of coins and bills Tell the same time in different ways (quarter to four and 3:45) Recognize the difference between a.m. and p.m. Determine lapsed time |
GEOMETRY AND MEASUREMENT Identify the concepts of parallel, perpendicular and right angles Begin to recognize circle relationships including diameter, circumference, radius Begin to recognize congruence of shapes Begin to use symmetry Draw constructions such as equal line segments or perpendicular bisectors Use coordinate graphing with positive numbers Draw and read maps Add and subtract money Multiply and divide money by one digit Make change Tell time; taking into account different time zones Begin to use angle measurement Begin to use standard measurement tools |
| PATTERNS Extend and analyze simple patterns Continue to use patterns of numbers,shapes, colors and sounds |
PATTERNS Extend and analyze a wide variety of simple patterns Maintain use of patterns |
PATTERNS Continue to extend and analyze simple patterns Recognize and describe a wide variety of arithmetic and geometric patterns using concrete, pictorial and numeric models |
| STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY Use probability concepts such as the chance of something happening Use tally marks, collecting and organizing informal data Make, read and interpret simple graphs |
STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY Use sampling techniques to collect information or conduct a survey Discuss uses and meanings of statistics e.g. make a fair survey, show most information, find averages Make read and interpret graphs Perform simple probability experiments; discuss results |
STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY Perform and report on a variety of probability experiments Collect and organize data as a class Display data in graphic form (pictorial) Begin using the concepts of mean, median and mode |
| ESTIMATION Practice rounding and estimation skills with problems |
ESTIMATION Practice rounding and estimation skills with problems Compare estimations to actual results Begin to apply estimation when working with computation and problem solving Begin to recognize when an estimate is more appropriate than an exact answer |
