Number Sense & Computation
1.1b) Identify the fractional part of a drawing or a
set (restricted to halves, thirds, fourths). *
1.1c) Using concrete materials or pictures, identify
different combinations of coins up to $1.00. *
1.2c) Identify place value through ten-thousands
(for example, in 86,243, ‘6’ is in the
thousands place). *
1.2d) Generate equivalent representations for the
same number up to a 4-digit number. (Q3)
1.2e) Compare whole numbers as greater than,
less than, or equal to one another using
words or symbols.
1.4b) Solve addition, subtraction and multiplication
problems using commutative and associative
properties (2+3=3+2 or 4x5 = 5x4,
vocabulary not tested but needs to be used in
class).
1.5a) Use estimation strategies to determine the
reasonableness of solutions to problems.
6.1a) Using pictures, diagrams, numbers or words,
demonstrate addition of whole numbers with
2-digit numbers in a problem-solving
situation and rote with paper and pencil..
6.1a) Using pictures, diagrams, numbers or words,
demonstrate subtraction of whole numbers
with 2-digit numbers in a problem-solving
situation and rote with paper and pencil.
(Subtraction with regrouping must be
mastered by December).
6.2a) Using pictures, demonstrate addition and
subtraction of proper fractions with common
denominators of four or less. (6.2 is
conceptual, not computational). (Q4)
6.2b) Use physical models like money notation to
add and subtract commonly used decimals
where sums and differences should not
exceed $10.00. *

6.3a) Demonstrate understanding of
X
basic multiplication facts in a
problem-solving situation and
rote with paper and pencil. This
can include extended facts. (6.3
+/is computational).
6.4a) Use estimation strategies with whole numbers
prior to performing the operations of addition
and subtraction (for example, front-end
estimation, rounding, friendly numbers).
6.4b) Construct, use and
explain procedures for
addition, subtraction and
X 2 digit by 1
multiplication of whole
numbers. (Add and
subtract three digits.
Subtraction with
regrouping must be
mastered by
X 2 digit by 2
December).(6.4 is
conceptual, not
computational)
Algebraic Methods
2.1a) Reproduce, extend, and create patterns,
using pictures, numbers, geometric shapes
or tables.
2.1b) Use a pattern to find missing elements (for
example, multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 10
2.3a) Identify a rule using addition or subtraction
patterns and solve a new problem using that
rule.
2.4a) Using whole numbers, determine how the
change in one quantity affects the change in
the other by addition or subtraction (1 bike
has 2 wheels, 3 bikes have 6 wheels, so 4
bikes have?).
Data Analysis
3.2b) Organize, interpret and display various
displays of data. (Tallies, bar graphs,
pictographs or tables).

3.3a) When using a chance device like a spinner,
determine which outcomes are the most
likely, least likely, or equally likely.
3.4a) Given pictures, determine all the possible
combinations of matching a set containing
two elements with a set containing three
elements. (This is called the Counting
Principle – vocabulary not tested).
Geometry and Measurement
4.1b) Identify a line of symmetry for regular
polygons and show that polygons are
congruent. *
4.2a) Identify the characteristics (attributes) of twodimensional figures (for example, number of
sides, vertices, right angle, parallel sides, and
intersecting lines).
4.2b) Identify points, lines, rays, angles and line
segments. *
4.2c) Identify three dimensional figures (for
example, cube, sphere, cylinder, cone and
pyramid).
4.3a) Find the perimeter of a polygon. * (Q2)
4.3b) Solve for area of rectangles and squares
using a drawing on a grid.
5.1a) Tell time to the nearest 5 minutes and be able
to determine elapsed time. *
5.1c) Choose the appropriate tool to measure
familiar objects in situations containing
length, weight, temperature or time.
5.1d) Know the number of minutes in an hour,
number of hours in a day, months in a year,
inches in a foot, and feet in a yard. *
5.3a) Measure the length of
½ inch
objects including the
sides of rectangles and
squares to the nearest
centimeter
half inch and
centimeter. * (Q2)
* Indicates finite/fixed skill set
