What should I Learn?
Grade 1
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
How to solve addition and subtraction word problems in situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing (e.g., a taking from situation would be: “Five apples were on the table. I ate some apples. Then there were three apples. How many apples did I eat?”).
How to add fluently with a sum of 10 or less, and accurately subtract from a number 10 or less (e.g., 2 + 5, 7 – 5).
Understand the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
How to understand what the digits mean in two-digit numbers (place value).
How to use my understanding of place value and properties of operations to add and subtract (e.g., 38 + 5, 29 + 20, 64 + 27, 80 – 50).
How to understand and identify the value of pennies, nickels and dimes.
Measurement and Data
How to measure lengths of objects by using a shorter object as a unit of length.
How to tell and write time.
Geometry
How to make composite shapes by joining shapes together, and dividing circles and rectangles into halves or fourths.
Grade 2
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Solve challenging addition and subtraction word problems with one or two steps (e.g., a “one-step” problem would be: “Lucy has 23 fewer apples than Julie. Julie has 47 apples. How many apples does Lucy have?”).
Fluently add with a sum of 20 or less (e.g., 11 + 8); fluently subtract from a number 20 or less (e.g., 16 – 9); and know all sums of one-digit numbers from memory by the end of the year.
Work with equal groups of objects to gain foundations for multiplication.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Understand what the digits mean in three-digit numbers (place value).
Use an understanding of place value to add and subtract three-digit numbers (e.g., 811 – 367); add and subtract two-digit numbers fluently (e.g., 77 – 28).
Measurement and Data
Solve addition and subtraction word problems involving length (e.g., “The pen is 2 cm longer than the pencil. If the pencil is 7 cm long, how long is the pen?”).
Tell time.
Count money.
Geometry
Build, draw, and analyze 2-D and 3-D shapes to develop foundations for area, volume, and geometry in later grades.
Divide shapes into equal shares to build the foundations for fractions in later grades.
