proficient in the following areas:
Understand an use number notation and
place value
|
 |
N.ME.03.01 |

objects. |
|

digit in a number, e.g., in 3,241, 2 is in the hundreds
place. Recognize and use expanded notation for numbers using place value
through 9,999,
e.g., 2,517 is 2000+ 500+10+ 7; 4 hundreds and 2 ones is 402.* |
|

Compare and order numbers
up to 10,000 |

and odd numbers
|

Requires Free Registration |

with 0, making the connection
between repeated addition and multiplication. |
|
 |
N.ME.03.05 |
Know that even numbers end in 0, 2,
4, 6,or 8; name a whole number quantity
that can be shared in two equal groups or grouped into pairs with no
remainders;
recognize
even numbers as multiples of 2. Know that odd numbers end in
1, 3, 5, 7, or
9, and work with
patterns involving even and odd numbers.
|
Add and subtract whole numbers
|

|

numbers through 999 with regrouping and
through 9,999 without regrouping.* |

two numbers with three digits (sums up to 1,000), and judge
reasonableness of estimates |
|

Use mental strategies to
fluently add and subtract two-digit numbers. |
Multiply and divide whole numbers
|

 |
N.MR.03.09 |
Use multiplication and
division fact families to understand the inverse
relationship of these two operations, e.g., because 3 x 8 = 24,
we know that 24 ÷ 8 = 3
or 24 ÷ 3 = 8; express a multiplication statement as an
equivalent division statement. |
|
N.MR.03.10 |

solved using multiplication and division including
finding "How many groups?" and "How many in a group?" and write mathematical
statements to represent those situations.* |
|

Find products
fluently up to 10 x 10; find related quotients using
multiplication
and division relationships. |
|
N.MR.03.12 |
Find solutions to open sentences, such as 7 x _= 42
or 12 ÷_ = 4, using the
inverse relationship between multiplication and division. |
|
N.FL.03.13 |
Mentally calculate simple products
and quotients up to a three-digit number by a
one-digit number involving multiples of 10, e.g., 500 x 6, or
400 ÷ 8. |
|
N.MR.03.14 |
Solve division
problems involving remainders, viewing the remainder as the
"number
left over"; interpret based on problem context, e.g. , when we have 25
children with 4
children per group then there are 6 groups with 1 child left
over.* |
Problem-solving with whole numbers
|
 |
N.MR.03.15 |
Given problems that use any one of the four
operations with appropriate
numbers, represent with objects, words (including "product" and "quotient"),
and mathematical
statements; solve. |
Understand simple fractions, relation to the whole,
and addition and subtraction of fractions
|

 |
N.ME.03.16 |
Understand that fractions may
represent a portion of a whole unit that has been
partitioned into parts of equal area or length; use the terms
"numerator" and "denominator." |
|
N.ME.03.17 |
Recognize, name, and use equivalent
fractions with denominators 2, 4, and 8,
using strips as area models. |
|
N.ME.03.18 |
Place fractions with denominators of
2, 4, and 8 on the number line; relate the
number line to a ruler; compare and order up to three fractions
with denominators 2, 4,
and 8. |
|
N.ME.03.19 |
Understand that any fraction can be
written as a sum of unit fractions,
e.g., 34 = 14 + 14 + 14 . |
|
N.MR.03.20 |
Recognize that
addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators
can be modeled by joining or taking away segments on the number
line. |
Understand simple decimal fractions in relation to money
|
 |
N.ME.03.21 |
Understand and relate decimal fractions to
fractional parts of a dollar,
e.g.,
1/2 dollar = $0.50; 1/4 dollar = $0.25.* |
