he Middletown Public Schools Mathematics Curriculum for grades K‐12 was revised June2014 by a K‐12 team of teachers. The team, identified as the Mathematics Task Force and Mathematics Curriculum Writers referenced extensive resources to design the document that included:
o Common Core State Standards for Mathematics o Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, Appendix A o Understanding Common Core State Standards, Kendall o PARCC Model Content Frameworks o Numerous state curriculum Common Core frameworks, e.g. e.g. Ohio , Arizona, North Carolina, and New Jersey o High School Traditional Plus Model Course Sequence, Achieve, Inc. o Grade Level and Grade Span Expectations (GLEs/GSEs) for Mathematics o Third International Mathematics and Science Test (TIMSS) o Best Practice, New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America’s Schools; o Differentiated Instructional Strategies o Instructional Strategies That Work, Marzano o Goals for the district
The Middletown Public Schools Mathematics Curriculum identifies what students should know and be able to do in mathematics. Each grade or course includes Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Grade Level Expectations (GLEs), Grade Span Expectations (GSEs), grade level supportive tasks, teacher notes, best practice instructional strategies, resources, a map (or suggested timeline), rubrics, checklists, and common formative and summative assessments. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS):
o Are fewer, higher, deeper, and clearer. o Are aligned with college and workforce expectations. o Include rigorous content and applications of knowledge through high‐order skills. o Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards (GLEs and GSEs). o Are internationally benchmarked, so that all students are prepared for succeeding in our global economy and society. o Are research and evidence‐based.
Common Core State Standards components include:
o Standards for Mathematical Practice (K‐12) o Standards for Mathematical Content:
o Categories (high school only): e.g. numbers, algebra, functions, data o Domains: larger groups of related standards o Clusters: groups of related standards o Standards: define what students should understand and are able to do
The Middletown Public Schools Common Core Mathematics Curriculum provides all students with a sequential comprehensive education in mathematics through the study of:
o Standards for Mathematical Practice (K‐12) o Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them o Reason abstractly and quantitatively o Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others o Model with mathematics* o Use appropriate tools strategically o Attend to precision o Look for and make use of structure o Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
TMission Staement
Our mission is to provide a sequential and comprehensive K‐12 mathematics curriculum in a collaborative student
centered learning environment that develops critical thinkers, skillful problem solvers, and
effective communicators of mathematics.

Major content
TEACHER NOTESSee instructional strategies in the introduction Collaborate in small groups to develop problem‐solving strategies using a variety of models such as drawings, words, and equations with symbols for the unknown numbers to find the solutions. Additionally students need the opportunity to explain, write and reflect on their problem‐solving strategies. The situations for the addition and subtraction story problems should involve sums and differences less than or equal to 20 using the numbers 0 to 20. They need to align with the 12 situations found in Table 1 of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics. Students need the opportunity of writing and solving story problems involving three addends with a sum that is less than or equal to 20. For example, each student writes or draws a problem in which three whole things are being combined. The students exchange their problems with other students, solving them individually and then discussing their models and solution strategies. Now both students work together to solve each problem using a different strategy. Literature is a wonderful way to incorporate problem‐solving in a context that young students can understand. Many literature books that include mathematical ideas and concepts have been written in recent years. For Grade 1, the incorporation of books that contain a problem situation involving addition and subtraction with numbers 0 to 20 should be included in

Essential Knowledge and skills Addition finds the missing whole when given the parts,
and subtraction finds a missing part when given the whole and a part.
Word problem situations can be: add‐to, take‐from, put‐together/take‐apart, and compare (see Table below).
Examples Take From example: Abel has 9 balls. He gave 3 to
Susan. How many balls does Abel have now?
Nine bunnies were sitting on the grass. Some more
bunnies hopped there. Now, there are 13 bunnies on the grass. How many bunnies hopped over there? Student: Niiinnneee…. holding a finger for each next number counted 10, 11, 12, Holding up her four fingers, 4! 4 bunnies hopped over there.” (Counting On Method)
8 red apples and 6 green apples are on the tree. How many apples are on the tree? Student: I broke up 6 into 2 and 4. Then, I took the 2 and added it to the 8. That’s 10. Then I add the 4 to the 10. That’s 14. So there are 14 apples on the tree. (Making Tens Method)
13 apples are on the table. 6 of them are red and the rest are green. How many apples are green? Student: I know that 6 and 6 is 12. So, 6 and 7 is 13. There are 7 green apples. (Doubles +/‐ 1 or 2)

the curriculum. Use the situations found in Table 1 of the CCSS for guidance in selecting appropriate books. As the teacher reads the story, students use a variety of manipulatives, drawings, or equations to model and find the solution to problems from the story. ODE Common misconception A second misconception that many students have is that it is valid to assume that a key word or phrase in a problem suggests the same operation will be used every time. For example, they might assume that the word left always means that subtraction must be used to find a solution. Providing problems in which key words like this are used to represent different operations is essential. For example, the use of the word left in this problem does not indicate subtraction as a solution method: Seth took the 8 stickers he no longer wanted and gave them to Anna. Now Seth has 11 stickers left. How many stickers did Seth have to begin with? Students need to analyze word problems and avoid using key words to solve them. ODE

Essential Knowledge and skills Students solve multi‐step word problems by adding
(joining) three numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, using objects, drawings, equations with symbols.
Examples Mrs. Smith has 4 oatmeal raisin cookies, 5 chocolate chip
cookies, and 6 gingerbread cookies. How many cookies does Mrs. Smith have? Student A: I put 4 counters on the Ten Frame for the oatmeal raisin cookies. Then, I put 5 different color counters on the ten‐frame for the chocolate chip cookies. Then, I put another 6 color counters out for the gingerbread cookies. Only one of the gingerbread cookies fit, so I had 5 leftover. Ten and five more makes 15 cookies. Mrs. Smith has 15
Student B: I used a number line. First I jumped to 4, and then I jumped 5 more. That’s 9. I broke up 6 into 1 and 5 so I could jump 1 to make 10. Then, I jumped 5 more and got 15. Mrs. Smith has 15 cookies.
Student C: I wrote: 4 + 5 + 6 = �. I know that 4 and 6 equals 10, so the oatmeal raisin and gingerbread equals 10 cookies. Then I added the 5 chocolate chip cookies. 10 and 5 is 15. So, Mrs. Smith has 15 cookies.

Subtraction can be done using addition, through finding the missing addend.
Examples If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.)
To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make
a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)
Cubes A student uses 2 colors of cubes to make as many different combinations of 8 as possible. When recording the combinations, the student records that 3 green cubes and 5 blue cubes equals 8 cubes in all. In addition, the student notices that 5 green cubes and 3 blue cubes also equals 8 cubes.
Number Balance A student uses a number balance to investigate the commutative property. “If 8 and 2 equals 10, then I think that if I put a weight on 2 first this time and then on 8, it’ll also be 10.”
Associative Property Examples: Number Line: � = 5 + 4 + 5 Student A: First I jumped to 5. Then, I jumped 4 more, so I landed on 9. Then I jumped 5 more and landed on 14.
Student B: I got 14, too, but I did it a different way. First I jumped to 5. Then, I jumped 5 again. That’s 10. Then, I jumped 4 more. See, 14!

Strategies Mathematical Practices 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
for solving addition problems. Students do not need to learn the names for these properties. It is important for students to share, discuss and compare their strategies as a class. The second focus is using the relationship between addition and subtraction as a strategy to solve unknown‐addend problems. Students naturally connect counting on to solving subtraction problems. For the problem “15 – 7 = ?” they think about the number they have to add to 7 to get to 15. First graders should be working with sums and differences less than or equal to 20 using the numbers 0 to 20. Provide investigations that require students to identify and then apply a pattern or structure in mathematics. For example, pose a string of addition and subtraction problems involving the same three numbers chosen from the numbers 0 to 20, like 4 + 13 = 17 and 13 + 4 = 17. Students analyze number patterns and create conjectures or guesses. Have students choose other combinations of three numbers and explore to see if the patterns work for all numbers 0 to 20. Students then share and discuss their reasoning. Be sure to highlight students’ uses of the commutative and associative properties and the relationship between addition and subtraction. ODE

beans, and 3 black jelly beans. How many jelly beans are there in all? Student: “I know that 7 + 3 is 10. And 10 and 9 is 19. There are 19 jelly beans.”
Assessment Problems:
1. OA. 4 Understand subtraction as an unknown‐addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8. Major content
Essential Knowledge and skills Subtracting a whole from a part is not the same as
subtracting a part from a whole. (7 – 3 is not the same as 3 – 7.)
By understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction, First Graders are able to use various strategies described below to solve subtraction problems.
Examples For Sums to 10 Think‐Addition:
Think‐Addition uses known addition facts to solve for the unknown part or quantity within a problem. When students use this strategy, they think, “What goes with this part to make the total?” The think‐addition strategy is particularly helpful for subtraction facts with sums of 10 or less and can be used for sixty‐four of the 100 subtraction facts. Therefore, in order for think‐addition to be an effective strategy, students must have mastered addition facts first. For example, when working with the problem 9 ‐ 5 = �, First Graders think “Five and what makes nine?”, rather than relying on a counting approach in which the student counts 9, counts off 5, and then counts what’s left. When subtraction is presented in a way that encourages students to think using addition, they use known addition facts to solve a problem. o Example: 10 – 2 = � o Student: “2 and what make 10? I know that 8 and 2
make 10. So, 10 – 2 = 8.” For Sums Greater than 10 The 36 facts that have sums greater than 10 are often
considered the most difficult for students to master. Many students will solve these particular facts with Think‐Addition (described above), while other students may use other strategies described below, depending on the fact.

8/20/2014 Middletown Public Schools 11
Regardless of the strategy used, all strategies focus on therelationship between addition and subtraction and often use 10 as a benchmark number.
Build Up Through 10: This strategy is particularly helpful when one of the numbers to be subtracted is 8 or 9. Using 10 as a bridge, either 1 or 2 are added to make 10, and then the remaining amount is added for the final sum. o Example: 15 – 9 = � o Student A: “I’ll start with 9. I need one more to make
10. Then, I need 5 more to make 15. That’s 1 and 5‐ so it’s 6. 15 – 9 = 6.”
o Student B: “I put 9 counters on the 10 frame. Just looking at it I can tell that I need 1 more to get to 10. Then I need 5 more to get to 15. So, I need 6 counters.”
Back Down Through 10 This strategy uses take‐away and 10 as a bridge. Students take away an amount to make 10, and then take away the rest. It is helpful for facts where the ones digit of the two‐digit number is close to the number being subtracted. o Example: 16 – 7 = � o Student A: “I’ll start with 16 and take off 6. That makes
10. I’ll take one more off and that makes 9. 16 – 7 = 9.” o Student B: “I used 16 counters to fill one ten frame
completely and most of the other one. Then, I can take these 6 off from the 2nd ten frame. Then, I’ll take one more from the first ten frame. That leaves 9 on the ten frame.”

Essential Knowledge and skills When solving addition and subtraction problems to 20:
o use counting strategies, such as counting all, counting on, and counting back, before fully developing the essential strategy of using 10 as a benchmark number.
o move students toward strategies that focus on composing and decomposing number using ten
Examples Counting All: Students count all objects to determine the
total amount. Counting On & Counting Back: Students hold a “start
number” in their head and count on/back from that number.
Example: 15 + 2 = � o Counting All: The student counts out fifteen counters.
The student adds two more counters. The student then counts all of the counters starting at 1 (1, 2, 3, 4,…14, 15, 16, 17) to find the total amount.
o Counting On: Holding 15 in her head, the student holds up one finger and says 16, then holds up another finger and says 17. The student knows that 15 + 2 is 17, since she counted on 2 using her fingers.
Example: 12 – 3 = � o Counting All: The student counts out twelve counters.
The student then removes 3 of them. To determine the final amount, the student counts each one (1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to find out the final amount.
o Counting Back: Keeping 12 in his head, the student
counts backwards, “11” as he holds up one finger; says “10” as he holds up a second finger; says “9” as he holds up a third finger. Seeing that he has counted back 3 since he is holding up 3 fingers, the student states that 12 – 3 = 9.

Assessment Problems:
1. OA. 6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as:
counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10
– 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g.,
knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8= 4); creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 +7 by
Provide many experiences for students to construct strategies to solve the different problem types illustrated in Table 1 in the Common Core State Standards on page 88. These experiences should help students combine their procedural and conceptual understandings. Have students invent and refine their strategies for solving problems involving sums and differences less than or equal to 20 using the numbers 0 to 20. Ask them to explain and compare their strategies as a class. Provide multiple and varied experiences that will help students develop a strong sense of numbers based on comprehension – not rules and procedures. Number sense is a blend of comprehension of numbers and operations and fluency with numbers and operations. Students gain computational fluency (using efficient and accurate methods for computing) as they come to understand the role and meaning of arithmetic operations in number systems. Primary students come to understand addition and subtraction as they connect counting and number sequence to these operations. Addition and subtraction also involve part to whole relationships. Students’ understanding that the whole is made up of parts is connected to decomposing and composing numbers. ODE Provide numerous opportunities for students to use the counting on strategy for solving addition and subtraction problems. For example, provide a ten frame showing 5 colored dots in one row. Students add 3 dots of a different color to the next row and write 5 + 3. Ask students to count on from 5 to find the total number of dots. Then have them add an equal sign and the number eight to 5 + 3 to form the

creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13). Major content Essential Knowledge and skills To solve addition and subtraction problem, students must
study patterns and relationships learning the skill and performing flexibility, accurately and efficiently, in addition to the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Examples Developing Fluency for Addition & Subtraction within 10 Example: Two frogs were sitting on a log. 6 more frogs
hopped there. How many frogs are sitting on the log now? o Counting‐ On: I started with 6 frogs and then counted
up, Sixxxx…. 7, 8. So there are 8 frogs on the log. 6 + 2 = 8
o Internalized Fact: There are 8 frogs on the log. I know this because 6 plus 2 equals 8.
6 + 2 = 8 Add and Subtract within 20 Example: Sam has 8 red marbles and 7 green marbles. How
many marbles does Sam have in all? o Making 10 and Decomposing a Number: I know that 8
plus 2 is 10, so I broke up (decomposed) the 7 up into a 2 and a 5. First I added 8 and 2 to get 10, and then added the 5 to get 15.
7 = 2 + 5 8 + 2 = 10 10 + 5 = 15
o Creating an Easier Problem with Known Sums I broke up (decomposed) 8 into 7 and 1. I know that 7 and 7 is 14. I added 1 more to get 15.
8 = 7 + 1 7 + 7 = 14 14 + 1 = 15
Example: There were 14 birds in the tree. 6 flew away. How many birds are in the tree now? o Back Down Through Ten I know that 14 minus 4 is 10.
So, I broke the 6 up into a 4 and a 2. 14 minus 4 is 10. Then I took away 2 more to get 8.
6 = 4 + 2 14 – 4 = 10 10 – 2 = 8
Relationship between Addition & Subtraction: I thought, ‘6 and what makes 14?’. I know that 6 plus 6 is 12 and two more is 14. That’s 8 altogether. So, that means that 14 minus 6 is 8.
6 + 8 = 14 14 – 6 = 8

Students work with addition and subtraction equations. Major content 1. OA. 7 Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations
involving addition and subtraction are true or false. Major content
Essential Knowledge and skills Determine whether an equation is true or false Understand the meaning of the equal sign Examples For example which of the following equations are true and
which are false? o 6 = 6 o 7 = 8 – 1 o 5 + 2 = 2 + 5 o 4 + 1 = 5 + 2
When students understand that an equation needs to “balance”, with equal quantities on both sides of the equal sign, they understand various representations of equations, such as: o an operation on the left side of the equal sign and
the answer on the right side (5 + 8 = 13) o an operation on the right side of the equal sign and
the answer on the left side (13 = 5 + 8) o numbers on both sides of the equal sign (6 = 6) o operations on both sides of the equal sign (5 + 2 = 4 +
3). Once students understand the meaning of the equal sign, they are able to determine if an equation is true (9 = 9) or false (9 = 8).

Essential Knowledge and skills Quantities can be represented by a written numeral. Counting can begin at any number and go forward or
backward. There are patterns in numbers. Some patterns of the count sequence make counting
predictable. Examples Students use objects, words, and/or symbols to express
their understanding of numbers. They extend their counting beyond 100 to count up to 120 by counting by 1s.
Some students may begin to count in groups of 10 (while other students may use groups of 2s or 5s to count). Counting in groups of 10, as well as grouping objects into 10 groups of 10, will develop students’ understanding of place value concepts.

In this grade, students build on their counting to 100 by ones and tens beginning with numbers other than 1 as they learned in Kindergarten. Students can start counting at any number less than 120 and continue to 120. It is important for students to connect different representations for the same quantity or number. Students use materials to count by ones and tens to a build models that represent a number, then they connect this model to the number word and its representation as a written numeral. Students learn to use numerals to represent numbers by relating their place‐value notation to their models. They build on their experiences with

Students should experience counting from different
starting points (e.g., start at 83; count to 120). To extend students’ understanding of counting, they
should be given opportunities to count backwards by ones and tens.
They should also investigate patterns in the base 10 system.

Students understand place value. Major content 1.NBT.2 Understand that the two digits of a two‐digit number represent amounts
of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases: a. 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.” 1.NBT.2a

Major content Essential Knowledge and skills The position of digits in numbers determines the value
they represent (which size group they count). Two‐digit numbers can be decomposed into a unit of ten
ones and some more ones. Examples
First Grade students are introduced to the idea that a bundle of ten ones is called “a ten”. This is known as unitizing. When First Grade students unitize a group of ten ones as a whole unit (“a ten”), they are able to count groups as though they were individual objects. For example, 4 trains of ten cubes each have a value of 10 and
Academic vocabulary Bundle Digit Equal to Greater/less than Groups Left‐overs Ones Singles Tens Value
TEACHER NOTES See instructional strategies in the introduction Essential skills for students to develop include making tens (composing) and breaking a number into tens and ones (decomposing). Composing numbers by tens is foundational for representing numbers with numerals by writing the number of tens and the number of leftover ones. Decomposing numbers by tens builds number sense and the awareness that the order of the digits is important. Composing and decomposing numbers involves number relationships and promotes flexibility with mental computation. The beginning concepts of place value are developed in Grade 1 with the understanding of ones and tens. The major concept is that putting ten ones together makes a ten and that there is a way to write that down so the same

would be counted as 40 rather than as 4. This is a monumental shift in thinking, and can often be challenging for young children to consider a group of something as “one” when all previous experiences have been counting single objects. This is the foundation of the place value system and requires time and rich experiences with concrete manipulatives to develop.
A student’s ability to conserve number is an important aspect of this standard. It is not obvious to young children that 42 cubes is the same amount as 4 tens and 2 left‐overs. It is also not obvious that 42 could also be composed of 2 groups of 10 and 22 leftovers. Therefore, first graders require ample time grouping proportional objects (e.g., cubes, beans, beads, ten‐frames) to make groups of ten, rather than using pre‐grouped materials (e.g., base ten blocks, pre‐made bean sticks) that have to be “traded” or are non‐proportional (e.g., money).
Example: 42 cubes can be grouped many different ways and still remain a total of 42 cubes.
“We want children to construct the idea that all of these are the same and that the sameness is clearly evident by virtue of the groupings of ten. Groupings by tens is not just a rule that is followed but that any grouping by tens, including all or some of the singles, can help tell how many.” (Van de Walle & Lovin, p. 124)
As children build this understanding of grouping, they move through several stages: Counting By Ones; Counting by Groups & Singles; and Counting by Tens and Ones. Counting By Ones: At first, even though First Graders will have grouped objects into tens and left‐overs, they rely on counting all of the individual cubes by ones to determine the final amount. It is seen as the only way to determine how many. Example:

number is always understood. Students move from counting by ones, to creating groups and ones, to tens and ones. It is essential at this grade for students to see and use multiple representations of making tens using base‐ten blocks, bundles of tens and ones, and ten‐frames. Making the connections among the representations, the numerals and the words are very important. Students need to connect these different representations for the numbers 0 to 99.

Counting By Groups and Singles: While students are able to group objects into collections of ten and now tell how many groups of tens and left‐overs there are, they still rely on counting by ones to determine the final amount. They are unable to use the groups and left‐overs to determine how many. Example:
Counting by Tens & Ones: Students are able to group objects into ten and ones, tell how many groups and leftovers there are, and now use that information to tell how many. Ex: “I have 3 groups of ten and 4 left‐overs. That means that there are 34 cubes in all.” Occasionally, as this stage is becoming fully developed, first graders rely on counting by ones to “really” know that there are 34, even though they may have just counted the total by groups and left‐over Example:

First Grade students extend their work from Kindergarten when they composed and decomposed numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones. In Kindergarten, everything was thought of as individual units: “ones”. In First Grade, students are asked to unitize those ten individual ones as a whole unit: “one ten”. Students in first grade explore the idea that the teen numbers (11 to 19) can be expressed as one ten and some leftover ones. Ample experiences with a variety of groupable materials that are proportional (e.g., cubes, links, beans, beads) and ten frames help students develop this concept. Example: Here is a pile of 12 cubes. Do you have enough to
make a ten? Would you have any leftover? If so, how many leftovers would you have? Student A o I filled a ten frame to make one ten and had two
counters left over. o I had enough to make a ten with some leftover. o The number 12 has 1 ten and 2 ones
Student B o I counted out 12 cubes. I had enough to make 10. I
now have 1 ten o and 2 cubes left over. So the number 12 has 1 ten
and 2 ones. o In addition, when learning about forming groups of
10, First Grade students learn that a numeral can stand for
o many different amounts, depending on its position or place in a number. This is an important realization as young
o children begin to work through reversals of digits, particularly in the teen numbers.
Example: Comparing 19 to 91
First Grade students apply their understanding of groups of ten as stated in 1.NBT.2b to decade numbers (e.g. 10, 20, 30, 40). As they work with groupable objects, first grade students understand that 10, 20, 30…80, 90 are comprised of a certain

Students extend their number fact and place value strategies to add within 100. They represent a problem situation using any combination of words, numbers, pictures, physical objects, or symbols.
Also, students should be able to apply their place value skills to decompose numbers. o For example, 17 + 12 can be thought of 1 ten and 7
ones plus 1 ten and 2 ones. Numeral cards may help students decompose the numbers into 10s and 1s.
Students should be exposed to problems both in and out of context and presented in horizontal and vertical forms.
As students are solving problems, it is important that they use language associated with proper place value (see example). They should always explain and justify their mathematical thinking both verbally and in a written format.
Examples Example: 24 red apples and 8 green apples are on the
table. How many apples are on the table? o Student A: I used ten frames. I put 24 chips on 3 ten
frames. Then, I counted out 8 more chips. 6 of them filled up the third ten frame. That meant I had 2 left over. 3 tens and 2 left over. That’s 32.
o So, there are 32 apples on the table.
o Student B: I used an open number line. I started at
24. I knew that I needed 6 more jumps to get to 30. So, I broke apart 8 into 6 and 2. I took 6 jumps to land on 30 and then 2 more. I landed on 32. So, there are 32 apples on the table.
o Student C: I turned 8 into 10 by adding 2 because it’s
easier to add. So, 24 and ten more is 34. But, since I added 2 extra, I had to take them off again. 34 minus 2 is 32. There are 32 apples on the table.
Example: 63 apples are in the basket. Mary put 20 more
apples in the basket. How many apples are in the basket? o Student A: I used ten frames. I picked out 6 filled ten
frames. That’s 60. I got the ten frame with 3 on it.

invent mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction. Help students share, explore, and record their invented strategies. Recording the expressions and equations in the strategies horizontally encourages students to think about the numbers and the quantities they represent. Encourage students to try the mental and written strategies created by their classmates. Students eventually need to choose efficient strategies to use to find accurate solutions. ODE Students should use and connect different representations when they solve a problem. They should start by building a concrete model to represent a problem. This will help them form a mental picture of the model. Now students move to using pictures and drawings to represent and solve the problem. If students skip the first step, building the concrete model, they might use finger counting to solve the problem. Finger counting is an inefficient strategy for adding within 100 and subtracting within multiples of 10 between10 and 90. Have students connect a 0‐99 chart or a 1‐100 chart to their invented strategy for finding 10 more and 10 less than a given number. Ask them to record their strategy and explain their reasoning. Provide multiple and varied experiences that will help students develop a strong sense of numbers based on comprehension – not rules and procedures. Number sense is a blend of comprehension of numbers and operations and fluency with numbers and operations. Students gain computational fluency (using efficient and accurate methods for computing) as they come to understand the role and meaning of arithmetic operations in number systems. ODE

Sometimes, a third object can be used as an intermediary, allowing indirect comparison. For example, if we know that Aleisha is taller than Barbara and that Barbara is taller than Callie, then we know (due to the transitivity of “taller than’) that Aleisha is taller than Callie, even if Aleisha and Callie never stand back to back. This concept is referred to as the transitivity principle for indirect measurement.
Example: The snake handler is trying to put the snakes in order‐ from shortest to longest. She knows that the red snake is longer than the green snake. She also knows that the green snake is longer than the blue snake. What order should she put the snakes?
Student: Ok. I know that the red snake is longer than the green snake and the blue snake because, since it’s longer than the green, that means that it’s also longer than the blue snake. So the longest snake is the red snake. I also know that the green snake and red snake are both longer than the blue snake. So, the blue snake is the shortest snake. That means that the green snake is the medium sized snake. NOTE: The Transitivity Principle (“transitivity”)1: If the length of object A is greater than the length of object B, and the length of object B is greater than the length of object C, then the length of object A is greater than the length of object C. This principle applies to measurement of other quantities as well.
Example: Which is longer: the height of the bookshelf or
the height of a desk? o Student A: I used a pencil to measure the height of
the bookshelf and it was 6 pencils long. I used the same pencil to measure the height of the desk and the desk was 4 pencils long. Therefore, the bookshelf is taller than the desk.
o Student B: I used a book to measure the bookshelf and it was 3 books long. I used the same book to measure the height of the desk and it was a little less than 2 books long. Therefore, the bookshelf is taller than the desk. Another important set of skills and understandings is ordering a set of objects by length. Such sequencing requires multiple comparisons (no more than 6 objects). Students need to understand that each object in a seriation is larger than those that come before it, and shorter than those that come after.
Example: The snake handler is trying to put the snakes in

smaller than Object C, then Object A has to be smaller than Object C. The order of objects by their length from smallest to largest would be Object A ‐ Object B ‐ Object C. Measurement units share the attribute being measured. Students need to use as many copies of the length unit as necessary to match the length being measured. For instance, use large footprints with the same size as length units. Place the footprints end to end, without gaps or overlaps, to measure the length of a room to the nearest whole footprint. Use language that reflects the approximate nature of measurement, such as the length of the room is about 19 footprints. Students need to also measure the lengths of curves and other distances that are not straight lines. Students need to make their own measuring tools. For instance, they can place paper clips end to end along a piece of cardboard, make marks at the endpoints of the clips and color in the spaces. Students can now see that the spaces represent the unit of measure, not the marks or numbers on a ruler. Eventually they write numbers in the center of the spaces. Encourage students not to use the end of the ruler as a starting point. Compare and discuss two measurements of the same distance, one found by using a ruler and one found by aligning the actual units end to end, as in a chain of paper clips. Students should also measure lengths that are longer than a ruler. ODE

order‐ from shortest to longest. Here are the three snakes(3 strings of different length and color). What order should she put the snakes? o Student: Ok. I will lay the snakes next to each other. I
need to make sure to be careful and line them up so they all start at the same place. So, the blue snake is the shortest. The green snake is the longest. And the red snake is medium‐sized. So, I’ll put them in order from shortest to longest: blue, red, green. (Progressions for CCSSM: Geometric Measurement, The CCSS Writing Team, June 2012.
Assessment Problems:
1.MD.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by
laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same‐size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps. Major content
Essential Knowledge and skills First Grade students use multiple copies of one object to
measure the length larger object. They learn to lay physical units such as centimeter or inch manipulatives end‐to‐end and count them to measure a length. Through numerous experiences and careful questioning by the teacher, students will recognize the importance of careful measuring so that there are not any gaps or overlaps in order to get an accurate measurement. This concept is a foundational building block for the concept of area in 3rd Grade.
Examples How long is the pencil, using paper clips to measure?
o Student: I carefully placed paper clips end to end.
The pencil is 5 paper clips long. I thought it would take about 6 paperclips. When students use different sized units to measure the same object, they learn that the sizes of the units must be considered, rather than relying solely on the amount of objects counted.
Example: Which row is longer?

o Student Incorrect Response: The row with 6 sticks is
longer. Row B is longer. o Student Correct Response: They are both the same
length. See, they match up end to end. In addition, understanding that the results of measurement and direct comparison have the same results encourages children to use measurement strategies.
Example: Which string is longer? Justify your reasoning. o Student: I placed the two strings side by side. The red
string is longer than the blue string. But, to make sure, I used color tiles to measure both strings. The red string measured 8 color tiles. The blue string measure 6 color tiles. So, I was right. The red string is longer.
NOTE: The instructional progression for teaching measurement begins by ensuring that students can perform direct comparisons. Then, children should engage in experiences that allow them to connect number to length, using manipulative units that have a standard unit of length, such as centimeter cubes. These can be labeled “length‐units” with the students. Students learn to lay such physical units end‐to‐end and count them to measure a length. They compare the results of measuring to direct and indirect comparisons. (Progressions for CCSSM: Geometric Measurement, The CCSS Writing Team, June 2012.)

Students tell and write time. Additional content 1.MD.3 Tell and write time in hours and half‐hours using analog and digital
clocks. Additional content
Essential Knowledge and skills Time can be measured in units of time. Units of time include hours (60 minutes), half‐hours (30
minutes), and minutes. The hour hand moves sequentially around the clock. It
moves from one number to a new number in one hour (sixty minutes). It moves one half the distance between numbers in one‐half hour (30 minutes).
Clocks can be analog or digital. Examples Ideas to support telling time:
Academic vocabulary Half‐hour about Hour O’clock Past “six”‐thirty Time Mathematical Practices
TEACHER NOTES See instructional strategies in the introduction Students are likely to experience some difficulties learning about time. On an analog clock, the little hand indicates approximate time to the nearest hour and the focus is on where it is pointing. The big hand shows minutes before and after an hour and the focus is on distance that it has gone around the clock or the distance yet to go for the hand to get back to the top. It is easier for students to read times on digital clocks, but these do not relate times

reasoning
within a day, the hour hand goes around a clock twice (the hand moves only in one direction)
when the hour hand points exactly to a number, the time is exactly on the hour
time on the hour is written in the same manner as it appears on a digital clock
the hour hand moves as time passes, so when it is half way between two numbers it is at the half hour
there are 60 minutes in one hour; so halfway between an hour, 30 minutes have passed
half hour is written with “30” after the colon “It is 4 o’clock
“It is halfway between 8 o’clock and 9 o’clock. It is 8:30.”
The idea of 30 being “halfway” is difficult for students to
grasp. Students can write the numbers from 0 ‐ 60 counting by tens on a sentence strip. Fold the paper in half and determine that halfway between 0 and 60 is 30. A number line on an interactive whiteboard may also be used to demonstrate this.

very well. Students need to experience a progression of activities for learning how to tell time. Begin by using a one‐handed clock to tell times in hour and half‐hour intervals, then discuss what is happening to the unseen big hand. Next use two real clocks, one with the minute hand removed, and compare the hands on the clocks. Students can predict the position of the missing big hand to the nearest hour or half‐hour and check their prediction using the two‐handed clock. They can also predict the display on a digital clock given a time on a one‐ or two‐handed analog clock and vice‐versa. Have students tell the time for events in their everyday lives to the nearest hour or half hour. Make a variety of models for analog clocks. One model uses a strip of paper marked in half hours. Connect the ends with tape to form the strip into a circle. ODE

Examples Survey Station
During Literacy Block, a group of students work at the Survey Station. Each student writes a question, creates up to 3 possible answers, and walks around the room collecting data from classmates. Each student then interprets the data and writes 2‐4 sentences describing the results. When all of the students in the Survey Station have completed their own data collection, they each share with one another what they discovered. They ask clarifying questions of one another regarding the data, and make revisions as needed. They later share their results with the whole class.
o Student: The question, “What is your favorite flavor of
ice cream?” is posed and recorded. The categories chocolate, vanilla and strawberry are determined as anticipated responses and written down on the recording sheet. When asking each classmate about their favorite flavor, the student’s name is written in the appropriate category. Once the data are collected, the student counts up the amounts for each category and records the amount. The student then analyzes the data by carefully looking at the data and writes 4 sentences about the data.

Instructional StrategiesConnect to the geometry content studied in Grade 1. Provide categories and have students sort identical collections of different geometric shapes. After the shapes have been sorted, ask these questions: How many triangles are in the collection? How many rectangles are there? How many triangles and rectangles are there? Which category has the most items? How many more? Which category has the least? How many less? Students can create real or cluster graphs after they have had multiple experiences with sorting objects according to given categories. The teacher should model a cluster graph several times before students make their own. A cluster graph in Grade 1 has two or three labeled loops or regions (categories). Students place items inside the regions that represent a category that they chose. Items that do not fit in a category are placed outside of the loops or regions. Students can place items in a region that overlaps the categories if they see a connection between categories. Ask questions that compare the number of items in each category and the total number of items inside and outside of the regions. ODE

First graders learn to perceive a combination of shapes as a single new shape (e.g., recognizing that two isosceles triangles can be combined to make a rhombus, and simultaneously seeing the rhombus and the two triangles). Thus, they develop competencies that include: o Solving shape puzzles o Constructing designs with shapes o Creating and maintaining a shape as a unit
As students combine shapes, they continue to develop their sophistication in describing geometric attributes and properties and determining how shapes are alike and different, building foundations for measurement and initial understandings of properties such as congruence and symmetry.
