Appendix Table of Standards and Expectations Number and Operations Standard Pre K 2 Grades 3 5 Expectations Expectations In prekindergarten through grade 2 all students should In grades 3 5 all students should Understand numbers ways of representing numbers relationships among numbers and number systems count with understanding and recognize how many in sets of objects use multiple models to develop initial understandings of place value and the base ten number system develop understanding of the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers and of ordinal and cardinal numbers and their connections develop a sense of whole numbers and represent and use them in flexible ways including relating composing and decomposing numbers connect number words and numerals to the quantities they represent using various physical models and representations understand and represent commonly used fractions such as 1 4 1 3 and 1 2 understand the place value structure of the base ten number system

fractions as parts of unit wholes as parts of a collection as locations on number lines and as divisions of whole numbers use models benchmarks and equivalent forms to judge the size of fractions recognize and generate equivalent forms of commonly used fractions decimals and percents explore numbers less than 0 by extending the number line and through familiar applications describe classes of numbers according to characteristics such as the nature of their factors Understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another understand various meanings of addition and subtraction of whole numbers and the relationship between the two operations understand the effects of adding and subtracting whole numbers understand situations that entail multiplication and division such as equal groupings of objects and sharing equally understand various meanings of multiplication and division understand the effects of multiplying and dividing whole numbers identify and use relationships between operations such as division as the inverse of multiplication to solve problems understand and use properties of operations such as the distributivity of multiplication over addition Compute
