Big Ideas in Math

Number Sense and Numeration Big Ideas

• read, represent, compare, and order whole numbers to 50, and use concrete materials to investigate fractions and money amounts;

• demonstrate an understanding of magnitude by counting forward to 100 and backwards from 20;

• solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of single-digit whole numbers, using a variety of strategies.

Measurement Big Ideas:

• estimate, measure, and describe length, area, mass, capacity, time, and temperature, using non-standard units of the same size;

• compare, describe, and order objects, using attributes measured in non-standard units

Geometry & Spatial Sense Big Ideas:

• identify common two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures and sort and classify them by their attributes;

• compose and decompose common two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures;

• describe the relative locations of objects using positional language

Patterning & Algebra Big Ideas:

• identify, describe, extend, and create repeating patterns;

• demonstrate an understanding of the concept of equality, using concrete materials and addition and subtraction to 10

Data Management Big Ideas:

• collect and organize categorical primary data and display the data using concrete graphs and pictographs, without regard to the order of labels on the horizontal axis;

• read and describe primary data presented in concrete graphs and pictographs;

• describe the likelihood that everyday events will happen.
