Unit 3: Understanding Place Value

* mentally find 10 more or 10 less than a number within 100

* subtract multiples of 10 from multiples of 10 within 100

* decompose two digit numbers into 10s and 1s

* compare two 2 digit numbers using <, >, and =

* add a 2 digit and a 1 digit number

* add a 2 digit number and a multiple of 10

* compose and decompose numbers, and when necessary, exchange 10 ones for a ten

 

Unit 4: Measurement and Shapes

* tell and write time to thehour and half hour

* measure and compare objects using non-standard units

*  use the terms shorter than and less than to compare two objects

* order three objects by length (long, longer, longest)

* draw and build shapes when given a number of sides and/or corners

* name the attributes of a given 2 dimensional shape (triangle, rectangle, hexagon, square)

 

Unit 5: Reason with Shapes and Their Attributes

* compose 2-D shapes (rectangles, squares, trapazoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter circles)

* compose 3-D shapes (cubes, rectangular prisms, circular cones,  circular cylinders)

* partition circles and rectangles into 2 or 4 equal shares

* use the phrases half of; fourth of; quarter of; halves

* create equivalent sums (ie. 13+5=18 is the same as 10+8=18)

* organize, represent, and interpret data in up to 3 categories

* compare data in a chart (more than; less than; equal to)
