I Can...
"I Can" statements help us to focus on specific learning targets for each quarter. These correspond to the standards assessed on the report cards sent home each nine weeks.
Math
1st Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
- Solve addition and subtraction story problems to 10
- Count on to add and count back to subtract
- Add and subtract to 10
- Find the unknown number in an addition equation (3 + ? = 10)
I Can count, write, and compare numbers.
- Count by ones and by tens to 60
- Read and write numbers to 60
- Use the symbols >, =, and < to compare two numbers
2nd Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
- Solve addition and subtraction story problems to 12
- Solve subtraction combinations using related addition facts (i.e. 10-8=2 because 8+2=10)
- Count on to add and count back to subtract
- Develop strategies for adding to 20 and subtracting to 10
- Find the unknown number in an addition and subtraction equations (3 + ? = 10)
I Can count, write, and compare numbers.
- Count by ones and by tens to 120
- Read and write numbers to 120
- Compare pairs of 2-digit numbers using the symbols >,=, and <
I Can understand and use place value
- Understand that the two-digits of a number tell how many tens and ones are in the number
- Add 2-digit numbers that are multiples of 10 (i.e. 30+40=70)
- Find 10 more or 10 less than various 2-digit numbers
- Subtract 2-digit numbers that are multiples of 10 (i.e. 40-20=20)
3rd Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
- Solve addition and subtraction story problems to 20
- Solve subtraction combinations using related addition facts (i.e. 14-10=4 because 10+4=14)
- Use strategies for adding and subtracting to 20
- Demonstrate fluency with addition and subtraction facts to 10
- Understand the meaning of the equal sign
- Identify equations that involve addition & subtraction as true or false (i.e.7=3+4 is true; 10-2=4+1 is false)
- Find the unknown number in addition & subtraction equations
I Can count, write, and compare numbers.
- Read numbers between 100 and 120
- Understand that the two-digits of a number tell how many tens and ones are in the number
I Can measure lengths with nonstandard units.
- Put three objects in order by length
- Compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object
- Measures length using non-standard units such as Popsicle sticks, linking cubes, etc.
I Can reason with shapes and their attributes.
- Identify and describe 2D and 3D shapes
- Put shapes together to make larger shapes
- Divides circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts, and describes the parts using words like halves, quarters, fourths
4th Quarter
I Can add and subtract accurately using strategies.
- Solve story problems that involve adding three numbers
- Understand the commutative & associative properties of addition (i.e. 2 + 3 is the same as 3 + 2 and 3 + (4+5) is the same as (3+4) + 5)
- Add 2-digit numbers using at least two different strategies (i.e. 30+40, 50+7, 24+39) ; and can explain how these strategies work
I Can understand and use place value.
- Find 10 more or 10 less than various 2-digit numbers and explains the reasoning behind the answer
- Subtract 2-digit numbers that are multiples of 10 (i.e. 50-30 and 70-40) using at least two different strategies; and can explain how these strategies work
I Can work with time and money.
- Tell and write time to the hour and half-hour on analog and digital clocks
I Can represent and interpret data.
- Construct and read graphs, and answer questions about the data
