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
