Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics - Exemplars, mini-lessons and more

This first grade math module (in draft form) covers adding and subtracting single-digit numbers and addresses the following standards.

1. Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. (1.OA.1)

2. Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). (1.OA.5)

1. Using addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems
involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and
comparing, with unknowns in all positions. (From standard 2.OA.1. See also Table 1 on page 88 of the Standards.)

2. Using place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.
(Cluster heading for standards 2.OA.5–9.)

Short-item problem set that illustrates the types of tasks that students will be held accountable to against the standards that relate to fractions in fourth grade. These items illustrate the math “shifts” and how these questions are significantly different than the typical.
The rational numbers are an arithmetic system that includes 0 as well as positive and negative whole numbers and fractions. Wherever the term “rational numbers” is used, numbers of all types are implied, including fractions in decimal notation.
 

The straw man outline presented here does not develop the arithmetic of integers before the arithmetic of rational numbers in general. Rather, each specific phase of the outline would likely begin with integers for simplicity and incorporate other rational numbers second. As with any feature of the straw man, bidders may critique this choice and present alternatives if desired.

Success with the Common Core Learning Standards for students with disabilities.

In order to develop proficiency in the Standard for Mathematical Practice 3 (Construct Viable Arguments and Critique the Reasoning of Others) and Standard for Mathematical Practice 4 (Model with Mathematics), it is important to provide English Language Learners (ELLs) with two levels of access to the tasks: language access and content access.
