The NYS Common Core Learning Standards for Math drive the instruction of each grade level. Here are some of the areas your child will be exploring in math this year:
Addition and Subtraction:
add or subtract within 1000
Multiplication
understand multiplication as finding a total amount
all facts 0 - 9 from memory
multiply a one digit number by a multiple of 10 (up to 90)
multiply within 100
use area models to represent the distributive property
Division
understand division as breaking apart a total number of objects
understand quotients as the number of objects in each share when a whole number is partitioned equally
understand quotients as the number of equal groups created when a whole number is shared
fluently divide within 100 using basic fact knowledge (ex: 72 divided by 9 is 8)
Fractions
understand that a fraction is a whole partitioned into equal parts
fractions are numbers that 'live' on a number line
partition a number line from 0 to 1 into fractional parts
equivalent fractions are at the same point on a number line
