Let’s Look at the Common Core Mathematics

Standards

MEASUREMENT AND DATAK- Describe and compare

measurable attributes.

1- Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.

LIST POETRYTaller thanLonger thanShorter than

SHORTER THANIsaiah’s arm is shorter than Caleb’s arm.Caleb’s leg is shorter than Nora’s leg and

Louisa’s leg.Josiah’s foot is shorter than Isaiah’s foot.The distance from the Smart Board to the

computers is shorter than the distance from the Smart Board to the door.

MEASUREMENT AND DATAK- Classify objects and count the number

of objects in each category.

MEASUREMENT AND DATA2- Measure and estimate lengths in

standard units.

MEASUREMENT AND DATA1- Tell and write time. 2- Work with time (and money).

SCIENTIFIC WRITINGField Trip NotesScience LogSteps to Complete an ExperimentAction LettersNewspaper AccountsInformative Essay

MEASUREMENT AND DATA1 & 2 - Represent and interpret data.

NUMBER AND OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN1 & 2- Understand place value.

OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING2- Work with equal groups of objects to

gain foundations for multiplication.

MOTION AND DESIGN -- 3-5

ABC BRAINSTORM +

MEASUREMENT AND DATA3- Solve problems involving measurement

and estimation of intervals of time.

EXPERIMENTS

Students measure time it takes (5 timed trails) for a loaded vehicle to move a given distance.

Students investigate how variations in rubber band energy effect the distance their vehicles travel.

Students test how air resistance influences a vehicle.

MEASUREMENT AND DATA3 , 4, & 5- Represent and interpret data.

MEASUREMENT AND DATA4- Solve problems involving measurement

and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

5- Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.

OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING3 & 4 – Represent and solve problems

involving multiplication and division.
