8 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Comparing Three-Digit NumbersStudents will work with three digit numbers in place value models and work from the hundreds, to the tens, and ones to determine if one number is greater than, equal to, or less than another number. Learning Goal: Using place value skills, students will be able to compare two three-digit numbers using greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=).Lesson 2Adding Together Multiple Two-Digit NumbersStudents will utilize place value and expanded form to combine multiple addends together. Students will combine all the tens and then the ones before adding both together to get the sum. Learning Goal: Students will effectively add up to four two-digit numbers together.Week 2Lesson 3One-Step Addition and Subtraction Word ProblemsStudents will learn the 7-steps of story problems. We will learn to solve addition and subtraction problems using multiple strategies. Learning Goal: Students will be able to accurately solve one-step addition and subtraction word problems.Lesson 4Multi-Step Addition and Subtraction Word ProblemsStudents will learn the 7-steps of story problems. We will learn to solve addition and subtraction problems using multiple strategies. Learning Goal: Students will be able to accurately solve multi-step addition and subtraction word problems.Week 3Lesson 5Working with TimeStudents will learn how to read the minute hand and hour hand on an analog clock. Students will learn the meanings of terms associated with time (o'clock, half past, quarter past, etc.). Learning Goal: Students will be able to tell and write time to the nearest 5 minutes.Lesson 6Working with MoneyStudents will learn the value of United States coins and dollar bills as well as how to identify them. Students will solve word problems involving money. Learning Goal: Students will be able to solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.Week 4Lesson 7Partitioning ShapesStudents will interact with the terms whole, half, thirds, fourths, etc. when referring to partitioned shapes. Students will recognize that equal fractional shares are not always visually identical within the same shape. Learning Goal: Students will recognize that equal shares of identical wholes do not need to have the same shape to be equal in size.Lesson 8Understanding Units of MeasurementStudents will observe the measurement of real world objects using standard units. Students will make estimates to the amount of units needed to measure the length of each object understanding that the smaller the unit, the more units will be needed. Learning Goal: Students will understand that different units of measurement involve different size units and therefore require more or less units to measure the same object.
