Below are listed the I Can statements for each unit in Quarter 1. These help guide teachers in our planning as we prepare lessons knowing what students need to be doing by the end of the unit. This gives you an idea of things that you can work on at home or talk about.
Quarter 1
Quarter 1
Unit 1:
What students are expected to do:
Within one million...
- I can read multi-digit whole numbers using numerals, number names, and expanded form.
- I can compare two multi-digit numbers using >, =, <.
- I can use a base ten model to show a value that is ten times more than a given number.
- I can identify that a digit in one place has a value ten times greater than the same digit in the place to its right.
- I can round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
- I can add whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
- I can make a reasonable estimate to determine if my answer makes sense.
- I can solve multi-step word problems involving addition and subtraction with the unknown in any location.
Unit 2:
What students are expected to do:
- I can describe factors and multiples and relate them to what I know about multiplication.
- I can find all factor pairs for a given whole number from 1-100.
- I can explain why a number is a factor of a given number.
- I can list several multiples for a given number and explain why a number is or is not a multiple of a given number.
- I can describe prime or composite numbers.
- I can recognize and describe any given number or shape pattern.
- I can identify and describe the features of any given number or shape pattern.
- I can identify the rule to describe change of any given number or shape pattern.
- I can extend any given number or shape pattern.
- I can model a comparison situation using concrete materials, pictures, words, and numbers.
- I can explain how multiplication can be a comparison.
- I can write an equation for multiplicative comparison.
- I can solve problems with multiplicative comparison.
- I can group problems according to whether they are an additive or multiplicative comparison situation.
- I can create a model to show multi-digit multiplication.
- I can multiply a 1-digit number by a multi-digit number using models or place value strategies.
- I can divide a multi-digit by a 1 digit divisor using models or place value strategies.
- I can represent and interpret a remainder in a division problem.
Unit 3:
What students are expected to do:
- I can choose an appropriate unit of measurement when using the metric system.
- I can find equivalent measures within the metric system.
- I can use what I know about our base ten number system to convert larger metric units to smaller metric units.
- I can complete a conversion table to determine equivalent measurements within the metric system from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
- I can solve problems involving distance, weight, and capacity.
- I can solve problems that require converting from larger to smaller units.
- I can apply a formula to determine the area or perimeter of a shape.
- I can partition a composite shape into regular figures and apply a formula to find the area of the composite shape.
- I can find the perimeter of a composite shape.
- I can find the missing side of a figure when I am given the area or perimeter and one or more side measurements.
- I can draw a visual representation to show how I determined the measure of a side when given the area or perimeter and one side.
- I can determine whether a problem is related to area or perimeter.
- I can solve problems by finding the area or perimeter.
