School is out for the summer!

our new curriculum

Illustrative Mathematics is a problem-based core curriculum rooted In content and practice standards to foster learning and achievement for all. Students learn by doing math through solving problems, developing conceptual understanding, and discussing and defending their reasoning. Teachers build confidence with lessons and curriculum guides that help them facilitate learning and help students make connections between concepts and procedures. Every lesson and activity In IM tells a coherent mathematical story across units and grade levels based on standards and research-based learning trajectories. This allows students to view mathematics as a connected set of Ideas and offers them access to mathematics when developed Into the overarching design structure of the curriculum.

Grade-Level Goals

You will find each grade level's yearly student goals on the left. For students to be fully prepared for the next grade level and meet grade-level expectations, these are the goals and Common Core Standards we align our Instruction to ensure every student receives.

What are we working on? Quarter 2

Understanding Addition and Subtraction: Students relate counting to addition and solve addition and subtraction story problems within 10. Students learn that addition is putting together and subtraction is taking from. They represent various word problems through drawings, equations, and math manipulatives.

Composing and Decomposing Numbers to 10: Students compose and decompose numbers within 10. Students learn to compose and decompose numbers up to 9 In multiple ways. They write expressions to represent decompositions and can, for any number from 1 to 0, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given numbers.

Numbers to 99: Students develop an understanding of place value for numbers up to 99. They learn to add and subtract multiples of 10 and represent the base-ten structure of multiples of 10 up to 90 using multiples of 10, drawings, numbers, or words. And compare two two-digit numbers based on values of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >,<, and =.

Adding Within 100: Students use place value understanding and properties of operations to add within 100. Students will use equations to represent addition methods.

Measuring Length: Students measure and estimate lengths in standard units (centimeters, meters, feet, and Inches) and solve measurement story problems within 100. They will also use measurement to solve one- and two-step story problems and represent numerical data on a line plot.

Addition and Subtraction on the Number: Students learn about the structure of a number line and use It to represent numbers within 100. They also relate addition and subtraction to length and describe the operations on the number line.

Relating Multiplication to Divison: Students learn about and use the relationship between multiplication and division, place value understanding, and the properties of operations to multiply and divide whole numbers within 100. They also represent and solve two-step work problems using the four operations.

Fractions as Numbers: Students develop an understanding of fractions as numbers and fraction equivalence by representing fractions on diagrams and number lines, generating equivalent fractions, and comparing fractions.

From Hundredths to Hundred-thousands: Students read, write, and compare numbers In decimal notation. They also extend place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers and add and subtract within 1,000,000.

Multiplicative Comparison and Measurement: Students Interpret, represent, and solve multiplicative comparison problems using an understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division. They use this thinking to convert units of measure within a given system from larger to smaller units.

Homework: students' homework Is aligned with the yearly goals we have for students. Please ensure students complete their homework and show how they solve their work by using scrap paper or working on the homework packet. Ask students what the numbers represent In story problems and to always double-check their work with two different strategies If applicable.

Clever at Home: students can complete I-Ready at Home on a tablet, phone, or any device that supports the Clever application. Students can log In from their Google @teamstudents.org accounts and continue working on their My Path lessons tailored solely to their math needs. Their work In school Is complete, and they pass four lessons every week. As students at Home, show you their completed work tab and how they use their BEAT Intention of accountability to ensure their work Is completed.

Fact Fluency: kindergarten and 1st-grade students need to know how to fluently add and subtract between 10 and 20 while also being able to count to 120. Students in second grade should be able to fluently add and subtract between the numbers 0-100, while 3rd and 4th grade students need to multiply and divide between 0-12 fluently. Making flash cards to practice their fact fluency is a great resource to support students' preparedness for future grades. Websites such as math99 also help students with fact fluency and are free tools that students can use at home.
