Sample Activities
Compose numbers based on clues/info and compare them based on a given
criteria
Independently, the student can:
 describe the mathematical relationships found in the base-10 place value
system through the hundred thousands place (2B)
 represent a number on a number line as being between two consecutive
multiples of 10; 100; 1,000; or 10,000 and use words to describe relative size
of numbers in order to round whole numbers (2C)
 name the whole number that corresponds to a specific point on a number line
 compare and order whole numbers up to 100,000 and represent comparisons
using the symbols >, <, or = (2D)
The students demonstrates some independence in the 3.0 goals.
With guidance, the student can:
 compose and decompose numbers up to 100,000 as a sum of so many ten
thousands, so many thousands, so many hundreds, so many tens, and so
many ones using objects, pictorial models, and numbers, including expanded
notation as appropriate (2A)
 identify (circle) 10s and 100’s on a number line (prep for rounding)
 compare and order whole numbers up to 1,200 and represent comparisons
using the symbols >, < or =
The student can recognize or recall specific terminology, such as:
Depth Words: place value, order, ten thousands, hundred thousands, expanded notation
STAAR Words: greater than (>), less than (<), equal (=), greatest to least, least to
greatest
Cognitive: compose, decompose, compare, represent
Other: whole number, pictorial models, objects, digit, point, hundred thousands, ten
thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, place value, place value periods (houses),
sum
