*I can determine when to multiply and divide in word
problems. (OA.3)
*I can represent (model) multiplication and division
word problems using drawings, and equations with
unknowns in all positions. (OA.3)
I can determine the unknown number in multiplication
and division word problems using drawings, and
equations with unknowns in all positions. (OA.4)

I can explain the commutative property (6 x 4 – 24
then 4 x 6 – 24, associative property (3 x 5 x 2 can be
found by 3 x 5 = 15, then 15 x 2= 30, or by 5 x 2=10,
then 3 x 10 = 30), and distributive property (8x4=40
and 8x2=16, one can find 8x7 as 8x(5+2) = (8x5) +
(8x2) = 40 + 16 = 56) of multiplication. (OA.5)
I can turn a division problem into a multiplication
problem with an unknown factor (find 32/8 by finding
the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8).
(OA.6)
Essential: Multiply and divide within 100.
*I can divide whole numbers with a divisor within 100
and with a whole number quotient with ease by picking
and using strategies that will get to the answer fairly.
(OA.7)
*I can instantly recall from memory the product of any
two 1-digit numbers. (OA.7)
*I can choose the correct operation to perform the
first computation, and choose the correct operation to
perform the second computation in order to solve twostep word problems. (OA.8)
MEASUREMENT AND DATA
Essential: Measure liquid volume and mass in g, kg, l,
and solve +, -, x, and / problems.
Grade Level Standard: Represent and interpret data.

basketball practice is 45 minutes long). (MD.1)
*I can estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects
using standard units of measure (grams, kilograms, and
liters). (MD.2)
I can measure liquid volumes and masses of objects
using standard units of measure (grams, kilograms, and
liters). (MD.2)
Grade Level Standard: Solve problems involving measurement
and estimation.
12
I can use a ruler to measure lengths in whole, half, and
quarter inches. (MD.4)
GEOMETRY
Grade Level Standard: Reason with shapes and their
attributes.
13
14
I can explain any unit fraction (1/b) as one part of a
whole divided into b equal parts (ex. ½, ¼, 1/8). (G.2)
I can partition (divide) shapes into equal parts with
equal areas. (G.2)
NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS- FRACTIONS
Essential: Understand fraction representation.
Grade Level Standard: Develop and understanding of fractions
as numbers.
14
*I can explain any unit fraction (1/b) as one part of a
whole. (NF.1)
15 *I can I can explain any fraction (a/b) as “a”
(numerator) being the number of parts considered and
“b” (denominator) as the total number of equal parts in
the whole. (NF.1)
16 *I can represent a unit fraction (1/b) on a number line
between 0 and 1. (NF.2)
17 *I can use models to show and explain whole numbers as
fractions (ex. 3/3 = 1 or 6/3 = 2). (NF.3)
18 *I can locate whole numbers as fractions on a number
line. (NF.3)
19 *I can use models to show and explain equivalent
fractions. (NF.3)
Essential: Develop understanding of fractions as
numbers.
20 I can represent any fraction (a/b) on a number line.
(NF.2)
21 I can explain and show how a/b can be represented on a
number line in two ways: (1) as a number that is located
a distance of a/b to the right of 0 and (2) as the size
of a parts when a whole is partitioned into b equal
parts. (NF.2)
22 I can explain how the size of equal parts can be used to
compare two fractions with the same numerator, and
explain how the number of equal parts can be used to
compare two fractions with the same denominator.
(NF.3)
23 I can locate equivalent fractions on a number line.
(NF.3)
24 I can locate whole numbers as fractions on a number
line. (NF.3)
25 I can use models to show and explain whole numbers as
fractions. (NF.3)
26 I can use models to compare two fractions and record
the comparison using <, >, =. (NF.3)
