About the Mathematics in This Unit

Benchmark/Goals	Examples
Find at least 5 combinations of a given number.	There are 9 vegetables on your plate. Some are peas. Some are carrots. How many of each could you have? 9 = 5 + 4 9 = 2 + 7 9 = 8 + 1 9 = 4 + 5 9 = 7 + 2
Solve story problems with three addends.	Mr. C's class was doing Quick Images. How many dots did they see?
Rote count, read, and write numbers to 120.
Represent numbers with equivalent expressions.	Today's Number: 10 10 = 3 + 7 20 − 10 = 10 2 + 2 + 6 = 10

In our math class, students engage in math problems and activities and discuss the underlying concepts. They are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is important that children solve math problems accurately in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain his or her math thinking to you.

In the coming weeks, you will receive more information about the mathematics in this unit as well as suggested activities to do at home.
