Agenda

PRIORITY SKILLS AT ENDEAVOUR

The following are what we need your child to be able to do by the end of the school year. You can help at home and check his/her progress as the year goes. If your child can do this earlier than the end of the year that is Wonderful! The mastery of these skills will help your child do well on the End-of-Level tests and be ready for the next year.

• Kindergarten• Count to 100 by ones and tens

• Model with manipulatives, basic addition and subtraction to 10

• First Grade• Add 27 basic facts (0-9) in two minutes

• Subtract 20 basic facts (0-9) in two minutes

• Second Grade• Add 32 basic facts (0-20) in two minutes

• Subtract 25 basic facts (0-20) in two minutes

• Third Grade• Add 37 basic facts (0-20) in two minutes

• Subtract 30 basic facts (0-20) in two minutes

• Multiply 37 basic facts in 2 min. (up to 10x10)

• Fourth Grade• Multiply 35 basic facts in 2 minutes (up to

12x12)

• Divide 35 basic facts in 2 minutes

• Fifth Grade• Multiply 60 basic facts in 2 minutes

• Divide 50 basic facts in 2 minutes

• Sixth Grade• Add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions

and decimals with 80% accuracy

FIRST GRADE MATH TARGETSBY MRS. ELEGANTE

Composing and decomposing shapes

and numbers

Combinations to 10

Missing Addends

Ordering Objects by

length

Commutative Property

Inverse relationships

Telling time to the hour and

half hour

Place Value: Ones and tens

Adding and subtracting: Double- digit

Comparisons of numbers

Read, count, write numbers

to 120

One of our concepts that we

see many students struggle

with is adding and subtracting.

We teach many strategies like

counting on and making a ten

to help students master their

facts.

SECOND GRADEBY MS. KRISTI

Term 1

Place ValueAddition/ Subtraction Facts to 20Odd and Even

Term 2

GraphingMoneyAddition with Regrouping

Term 3

TimeSubtraction with RegroupingMeasurement

Term 4

ShapesArraysFractions

Areas with Common Misconceptions or Difficulties:

Subtraction with Regrouping

THIRD GRADE BY MRS. RITCHIE

Areas for Home

Support: Modeling and mastering

multiplication and division facts

FOURTH GRADE BY MRS. YANCEY

In 4th Grade students:

•add and subtract numbers through 1 million •solve multi-step word problems including measurement problems•multiply and divide multi-digit numbers using many strategies•extend understanding of fractions•create equal fractions•add/subtract fractions with the same denominator•multiply fractions by whole numbers•compare fractions with different numerators and denominators

Students particularly struggle

with multi-digit division and

comparing fractions with

different numerators and

denominators.

FIFTH GRADE BY MRS. BLANCHARD

Fifth Grade Math Priority Skills• 1. Multiplication: Students

will complete 60 correct digits on a 2-minute timed probe (test).

• 2. Division: Students will complete 50 correct division problems on a 2-minute timed probe.

Fifth Grade Math DESK Standards• Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Write and

interpret numerical expressions, analyze patterns/relationships.

• Number and Operations in Base Ten: understand place value system; perform operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) with whole numbers.

• Number and Operations Fractions: Perform operations with fractions.

• Measurement and Data: Convert unit measurements, understand concepts of volume, represent/interpret data.

• Geometry: Graph points on a coordinate plane, classify 2-dimensional figures.How Can Parents Help?

Help your students achieve both priority skills. Many Fifth Graders struggle to pass their division probe. Being fluent in these skills will help students achieve the DESK Standards.

SIXTH GRADEBY MRS. RUDES

Decimals, Fractions, and Percentages: • Understand

ing that they all relate to the same part-whole relationship

Rational Numbers and Integers:• Relating

negative numbers to well known mathematics

Expressions and Equations:• The use

of variables in mathematics

3-Dimensional Figures:• Finding

Volume, Surface Area, and Decomposing a Figure

Data Distribution and Analysis:• Using

Data to Understand Results.

Area of Concern:

Fractions with Mixed Numbers
