Alignment to CORE and NGSS Standards
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.OA.A.1 | Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. |
| 1 | 1.OA.C.5 | Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). |
| 1 | 1.OA.D.7 | Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 _ 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2. |
| 1 | 1.OA.D.8 | Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ _ 3, 6 + 6 = _. |

| 2 | RL.2.10-Lexile Level | By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories and poetry, in the grades 2_3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. Lexile Level 420L - 820L |
| 3 | 3.OA.D.9 | Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends. |
| 4 | 4.OA.C.5 | Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule –Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way. |

| 4 | RI.4.3 | Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text. |
| 4 | RI.4.4 | Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text relevant to a grade 4 topic or subject area: Rock formations show earth forces (earthquakes) and age, fossils, rainfall shapes land, rocks/soils/sediments moved by earth/water/living things, plate tectonics: location of mountain ranges/deep ocean trenches/earthquakes/volcanoes with maps to locate, Living things affect the physical characteristics of their regions, natural resources=renewable/non-renewable, natural hazards: earthquakes/tsunamis/volcanoes, plants/animals internal/external structures for growth/survival/behavior/reproduction, senses, fast-moving objects have more energy, energy moves through sound/light/electric currents, colliding objects may make sound, light transfers energy/produces heat, colliding objects change course, produce energy, wave motion, technology moves information over long distances, multiplication/division fact families with unknown numbers, factor pairs for whole numbers to 100, prime/composite numbers, number/shape patterns, multi-digit numbers/place value and compare with symbols (>,=,<), place value rounding, add/subtract multi-digit numbers, long division, fraction equivalents and comparisons, add/subtract mixed numbers like denominators, add/subtract fractions, multiply fraction by whole number, decimals, compare decimals to hundredths, measurement conversions, area/perimeter, line plot fractions, angle measurements whole numbers w protractor, points/lines/line segments/rays/angles/perpendicular/parallel lines, classify triangles, line of symmetry in two-dimensional figure, natural hazards), energy) |
| K | K.CC.B.4 | Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. |
| K | K.CC.B.4b | Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. |
| K | K.CC.B.4c | Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. |
| K | K.CC.B.5 | Count to answer –how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1_20, count out that many objects. |
| K | K.CC.C.6 | Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.1 |
| K | K.CC.C.7 | Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. |
| K | K.OA.A.1 | Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings1, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. |
| K | K.OA.A.2 | Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. |
| K | RI.K.9 | With prompting and support, identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic. (comparing story to For Creative Minds non-fiction component) |
