Algorithms and Programming

3.AP.3.1 Identify a simple task (e.g., eating breakfast; brushing your teeth; walking to the bus stop). 

3.AP.3.2 Identify a complex task (e.g., getting ready for school) 

3.AP.4.2:  Test a series of directions to successfully complete a simple task. 

4.AP.1.1 Use step-by-step instructions to perform tasks (i.e., sequential execution) 

4.AP.3.1 Compose simple tasks (e.g., eating breakfast; brushing your teeth; walking to the bus stop) into a complex task (e.g., getting ready for school). 

4.AP.3.2 Decompose a complex task (e.g., getting ready for school) into simple tasks (e.g., eating breakfast; brushing your teeth; walking to the bus stop). 

5.AP.1.1 Execute a sequence of instructions (i.e., algorithm) that mimic a daily task. 

5.AP.3.1 Compose multiple levels of simple tasks (e.g., eating breakfast can include going to the table, sitting down in a chair, and picking up a spoon; brushing your teeth; walking to the bus stop) to make a more complex task. 

5.AP.3.2 Decompose a complex task of higher complexity (e.g., cooking a meal) into simple tasks (e.g., selecting a recipe, getting the ingredients, preparing the food, and serving the meal, where the task of getting the ingredients can be decomposed into writing a shopping list, going to a store, selecting and buying the ingredients, and going home).

Graph on the Coordinate Plane

5.MGSR.3.1 Identify the origin, x-axis, and y-axis in the coordinate system. Write, plot, and label ordered pairs, including values in a function table, in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. 

5.MGSR.3.2 Represent mathematical and real-world situations by graphing, labeling, and interpreting points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane.
