Quarter 1, Math Goals

Big Ideas: Whole numbers represent sets of items that can be composed (put together) and decomposed (taken apart). Predictions and generalizations can be made from analysis of data and patterns.

This quarter I will be able to:

· Add numbers and develop strategies for finding unknown facts

· Decompose and compose numbers when adding

· Use the commutative and associative properties to simplify results

· Develop multiple strategies for subtraction

· Use the inverse operation (addition for subtraction or subtraction for addition) to check results

· Use words, models, and expanded form to represent numbers

· Identify place value of a digit

· Count, read, and write whole numbers to 100

· Read, organize, display and interpret data

· Ask and answer simple questions related to data

· Recognize, describe, and extend patterns

· Solve problems involving simple number patterns
