Kindergarten Indiana Math Standards By Strand
Kindergarten – Oral Counting
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
K.NS.1 Count to 100 by ones and by tens and count on by one from any number.
K.NS.3 Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Counting backwards. Many computational strategies that need to be developed in 1st grade would be
greatly aided if students had greater fluency with counting backwards coming out of Kindergarten.
Incorporating backwards counting as a classroom transition routine during the second half of the
year can give students this foundation without adding explicit instructional time.
Kindergarten – Object Counting
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
K.NS.4 Say the number names in standard order when counting objects, pairing each object with one
and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Understand that
the last number name said describes the number of objects counted and that the number of objects
is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
K.NS.5 Count up to 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle. Count up to 10 objects
in a scattered configuration. Count out the number of objects, given a number from 1 to 20.
K.NS.6 Recognize sets of 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting.
K.NS.7 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).
K.NS.9 Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; none, some, and all; more and
less; most and least; and equal to, more than, and less than.
K.NS.11 Develop initial understandings of place value and the base 10 number system by showing equiv-
alent forms of whole numbers from 10 to 20 as groups of tens and ones using objects and drawings.
K.CA.3 Use objects, drawings, etc., to decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than
one way, and record each decomposition with a drawing or an equation (e.g., 5=2+3 and 5=4+1).
[In Kindergarten, students should see equations and be encouraged to trace them, however, writing
equations is not required.]
K.CA.4 Find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number for any number from 1 to 9
(e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Counting out beyond 20 items, forming 10s. The Indiana Math Standards only ask Kindergarten
students to master counting out up to 20 objects, and they are only required to form 10s and 1s with
numbers in the teens. However, the pattern of making 10s and 1s is more readily apparent when
working with larger numbers. Also, the Indiana Math Standards do require students to count by 10s
to 100, and so pairing that skill with physical objects is natural and instructionally useful.
Subitizing and Number Talks. “Subitizing” means visually grouping objects so that they are easier
to notice and count. A “number talk” is a group conversation guided by the teacher that allows
students to verbalize critical thinking skills about math concepts. Number talks with dots involve
showing students a wide variety of scattered dot configurations – some can be similar to dot patterns
on dice or dominoes, but other configurations should also be included. Students discuss how many
dots they think there are and different ways they could mentally group the dots. Number talks also
commonly involve other kinds of manipulatives such as rekenreks, five and ten frames, number lines,
et cetera.
These activities support Indiana Math Standards relating to counting, cardinality, patterned arrange-
ments, addition, subtraction, and even geometry (when students “see” squares or triangles formed
by the dots). These activities also teach students to verbalize mathematical ideas, and to develop
higher level thinking skills. Practice with number talks in Kindergarten also lays a strong foundation
for number sense and critical 1st grade concepts.
Two resources supporting number talks are:
• Kara Kolson, Suzanne Mole, and Manuel Silva. “Dot Card and Ten Frame Activities.” Numer-
acy Project, Winnipeg School Division, 2005 – 2006.
• Sherry Parrish. Number Talks: Helping Children Build Mental Math and Computation Strate-
gies. Math Solutions, Sausalito, CA, 2010.
Finger Cardinality. The Indiana Math Standards do imply the use of fingers as part of addition and
subtraction. However, many children need more practice with quickly showing a given number
of fingers. This is a critical skill that 1st grade students need and do not usually have time to
practice. This skill is closely related to Indiana Math Standards relating to counting, cardinality,
addition, subtraction, and place value. Recent research shows that “finger gnosis” is a predictor of
mathematical ability, and suggests that the area of the brain involving awareness of fingers is closely
connected with areas of the brain governing number sense and computation.
The following article contains more information about finger gnosis and mathematical ability:
• Marcie Penner-Wilger and Michael L. Anderson. “The relation between finger gnosis and math-
ematical ability: why redeployment of neural circuits best explains the finding.” Frontiers in
Psychology. 2013; 4: 877.
Kindergarten – Read & Write Numbers
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
K.NS.2 Write whole numbers from 0 to 20 and recognize number words from 0 to 10. Represent a number
of objects with a written numeral 0 – 20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
K.NS.8 Compare the values of two numbers from 1 to 20 presented as written numerals.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Recognizing numbers beyond 20. The Indiana Math Standards only require mastery of number recog-
nition up to 20, although they require verbal counting up to 100. Although students do not need to
master number recognition beyond 20, they should still see written numbers beyond 20 and practice
writing them when appropriate. Kindergarten students enjoy saying and writing really large num-
bers, so teachers should be prepared to correctly write and say numbers up to a billion (and probably
beyond).
Kindergarten – Addition & Subtraction
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
K.NS.10 Separate sets of ten or fewer objects into equal groups.
K.CA.1 Use objects, drawings, mental images, sounds, etc., to represent addition and subtraction within
10.
K.CA.2 Solve real-world problems that involve addition and subtraction within 10 (e.g., by using objects
or drawings to represent the problem).
K.CA.5 Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with
numbers and shapes.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Adding and subtracting for sums from 10 up to 20. The Indiana Math Standards only require ex-
posure to addition and subtraction within 10, though Kindergarten students do decompose numbers
in the teens into a sum of a ten and some ones. Exposure to addition and subtraction within 20 or
beyond during the fourth quarter makes sense if the students are already comfortable working within
10.
Kindergarten – Geometry, Measurement, and Data
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
K.G.1 Describe the positions of objects and geometric shapes in space using the terms inside, outside,
between, above, below, near, far, under, over, up, down, behind, in front of, behind, in front of, next
to, the the left of and to the right of.
K.G.2 Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes in different sizes and orientations, using informal
language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”)
and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
K.G.3 Model shapes in the world by composing shapes from objects (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and
drawing shapes.
K.G.4 Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. (e.g., create a rectangle composed of two triangles).
K.M.1 Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize
which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.
K.MD.2 Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomor-
row, day, week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure
time.
K.DA.1 Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that
do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
1st Grade Indiana Math Standards By Strand
1st Grade – Count, Compare/Order
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
1.NS.1 Count to at least 120 by ones, fives, and tens from any given number. In this range, read and
write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
1.NS.3 Match the ordinal numbers first, second, third, etc., with an ordered set up to 10 items.
1.NS.4 Use place value understanding to compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens
and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.
1.NS.5 Find mentally 10 more or 10 less than a given two-digit number without having to count, and
explain the thinking process used to get the answer.
1.M.3 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Counting backward by 1s, 5s, and 10s. The Indiana Math Standards do not explicitly state that stu-
dents must be able to count backward. However, practicing this skill significantly increases student
computational fluency and number sense. It also assists with 1.NS.5 which asks students to determine
the number that is 1 more / 1 less or 10 more / 10 less.
1st Grade – Represent #s / +/− Models
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
1.NS.2 Understand that 10 can be thought of as a group of ten ones – called a “ten.” Understand that
the numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or
nine ones. Understand that the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
1.NS.6 Show equivalent forms of whole numbers as groups of tens and ones, and understand that the
individual digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones.
1.CA.5 Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a
two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using models or drawings based on place value, properties
of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; describe the strategy and
explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens,
ones and ones, and that sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
1.CA.6 Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and
subtraction are true or false (e.g., 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.M.3 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
1st Grade – +/− Strategies / Fact Mastery
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
1.NS.5 Find mentally 10 more or 10 less than a given two-digit number without having to count, and
explain the thinking process used to get the answer.
1.CA.1 Demonstrate fluency with addition facts and the corresponding subtraction facts within 20. Use
strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a
number leading to a ten (e.g., 13−4 = 13−3−1 = 10−1 = 9); using the relationship between addition
and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 − 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but
easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Understand the role of 0 in addition and subtraction.
1.CA.5 Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a
two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using models or drawings based on place value, properties
of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; describe the strategy and
explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens,
ones and ones, and that sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
1.CA.7 Create, extend, and given an appropriate rule for number patterns using addition within 100.
1st Grade – Problem Solving
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
1.CA.2 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction within 20 in situations of adding
to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all parts of the
addition or subtraction problem (e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for
the unknown number to represent the problem).
1.CA.3 Create a real-world problem to represent a given equation involving addition and subtraction
within 20.
1.CA.4 Solve real-world problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is within 20
(e.g., by using objeccts, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent
the problem).
1.DA.1 Organize and interpret data with up to three choices (What is your favorite fruit? apples, bananas,
oranges); ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each choice,
and how many more or less in once choice compared to another.
1st Grade – Measurement, Time, and Geometry
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
1.G.1 Identify objects as two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Classify and sort two-dimensional and
three-dimensional objects by shape, size, roundness, and other attributes. Describe how two-dimensional
shapes make up the faces of three-dimensional objects.
1.G.2 Distinguish between defining attributes of two- and three-dimensional shapes (e.g., triangles are
closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size). Create
and draw two-dimensional shapes with defining attributes.
1.G.3 Use two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-
circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right
circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
[In grade 1, students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”]
1.G.4 Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts; describe the parts using the words
halves, fourths, and quarters; and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the
whole as two of, or four of, the parts. Understand for partitioning circles and rectangles into two and
four equal parts that decomposing into more equal parts creates smaller parts.
1.M.1 Use direct comparison or a nonstandard unit to compare and order objects according to length,
area, capacity, weight, and temperature.
1.M.2 Tell and write time to the nearest half-hour and relate time to events (before/after, shorter/longer)
using analog clocks. Understand how to read hours and minutes using digital clocks.

2.NS.3 Plot and compare whole numbers up to 1,000 on a number line.
2.NS.4 Match the ordinal numbers first, second, third, etc., with an ordered set up to 30 items.
2.NS.5 Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members (e.g., by
placing that number of objects in two groups of the same size and recognizing that for even numbers
no object will be left over and for odd numbers one object will be left over, or by pairing objects or
counting them by 2s).
2.NS.6 Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens,
and ones (e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones). Understand that 100 can be thought of
as a group of ten tens – called a “hundred.” Understand that the numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500,
600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens
and 0 ones).

3rd Grade – Fractions
The Indiana Math Standards require that 3rd grade students work concretely with many different models of
fractions including area models, set models, and number line models. Students should also work concretely
with fractions in the contexts of money, time, rulers, hundred grids, cup measures, tokens, items that come
in packs, et cetera.
Students should also frequently work with fractions bigger than 1. Students should be able to count out
23
4
of an inch on a ruler to see that this fraction is equivalent to 5
3
4
inches.
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
3.NS.3 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b
equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b. [In grade 3,
limit denominators of fractions to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.]
3.NS.4 Represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the
whole, and partitioning it into b equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/b and that the
endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/b on the number line.
3.NS.5 Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths 1/b from 0. Recognize
that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the number a/b on the number

3.G.4 Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the
whole. (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8).
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Use ratio and equal group interpretations to show fractions with area and set models. The In-
diana Math Standards only require equal group interpretations of fractions in 3rd grade, leaving
ratio interpretations until 6th grade. However, I have found that ratio interpretations arise naturally
among 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students working with area and set models and causes confusion if
not addressed early on in a simple way. To show the fraction
2
3
with 12 two-colored tokens, we could
take a ratio approach and make 2 out of every 3 tokens be red, continuing until we have done this
with all 12 tokens. If we use the equal groups approach, we would divide the 12 tokens into three
equal groups first, and then make two of the groups be red. In either case,
8
12
of the tokens will be
red in the end, showing that
2
3
is equivalent to that fraction.
Use grid paper or hundred grids to show fractions. The Indiana Math Standards only require stu-
dents to master halves through eighths in 3rd grade. The use of grids fits well with ideas of multi-
plication and division also introduced in 3rd grade, and so I recommend introducing them early as a
powerful model for accurately depicting fractions of any size.
3rd Grade – Measurement & Geometry
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
3.M.1 Estimate and measure the mass of objects in grams (g) and kilograms (kg) and the volume of
objects in quarts (qt), gallons (gal), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-
step real-world problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units (e.g., by using
drawings, such as a beaker with a measurement scale, to represent the problem).

3.G.2 Understand that shapes (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having
four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recog-
nize and draw rhombuses, rectangle, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals. Recognize and draw
examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
3.G.3 Identify, describe, and draw points, lines and line segments using appropriate tools (e.g., ruler,
straightedge, and technology), and use these terms when describing two-dimensional shapes.

Constructing lengths. The Indiana Math Standards do not explicitly ask students to construct lengths,
but I have found this to be a critical skill that needs extensive practice. Many local employers
report that the lack of proficiency of this skill in the local workforce is a major barrier to greater
economic prosperity. Constructing lengths rather than merely measuring develops students motor
skills and attentiveness to precision. Students should be able to draw a line or cut out a strip of
paper accurately (to the nearest 1/4 inch or 1/2 centimeter). They should be able to tape together
strips of paper to make a strip measuring multiple feet or yards. It often helps to trace a correct
version of the strip so that students can check their accuracy independently (I like to invite students
to play a game pretending that they are cutting out frog tongues that are just long enough to reach
a fly. If their tongue is the right length, then their frog gets a point.)
Constructing 1/2, 1/4, 1/3 foot, yard, meter The Standards do ask students to work with lengths
that are accurate to 1/4 inch or 1/2 cm. The Standards do not explicitly ask students to work with
fractions of a foot, yard, and meter. I added this suggestion because it is consistent with the overall
arc of topics in 3rd grade and gives more practice with length measurement and fractions.
Predicting lengths in one kind of unit given a measurement using another kind of unit. The In-
diana Math Standards for 2nd grade do ask students to measure the same length using many different
kinds of units, and they ask students to predict which measurement will need a larger number. I
think it is helpful to revisit this in 3rd grade, and to take advantage of this activity to ask students to
guess how many units of another type would be required. This practice plants the seeds for estima-
tion and conversion skills. Students should take a moment to draw a diagram to try to predict the
value, and then record their guesses before measuring using the other units to check their answers.
Including simple fractions such as 1/2s, 1/3s, 1/4s, and 1/10s is also helpful for helping students to
contextualize their understanding of fractions.

Fluently use strategies for multi-digit +/−. The Indiana Math Standards ask students to learn the
algorithm for multi-digit +/−, assuming that they have a thorough mastery of using strategies
for multi-digit +/− from their work at prior grade levels. I think it is important to review these
approaches and also to send the message that students should continue to use a variety of strategies
even after they learn the algorithms.
Demonstrate mastery of basic +/ − / × /÷ facts. Students should have learned the basic facts for
the four operations in second and third grade. However, it is likely that they will need continuing
practice on these skills to achieve real fluency.

4.NS.4 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction

themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. [In
grade 4, limit denominators of fractions to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 25, 100.]
4.NS.5 Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators (e.g., by creating
common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark such as 0, 1/2, and 1).
Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record
the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions (e.g., by using a
visual fraction model).
4.NS.6 Write tenths and hundredths in decimal and fraction notations. Use words, models, standard form
and expanded form to represent decimal numbers to hundredths. Know the fraction and decimal
equivalents for halves and fourths (e.g., 1/2 = 0.5 = 0.50, 7/4 = 1 3/4 = 1.75).

Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Use ratio and equal group interpretations to show fractions with area and set models. The In-
diana Math Standards only require equal group interpretations of fractions in 4th grade, leaving
ratio interpretations until 6th grade. However, I have found that ratio interpretations arise naturally
among 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students working with area and set models and causes confusion if
not addressed early on in a simple way. To show the fraction
2
3
with 12 two-colored tokens, we could
take a ratio approach and make 2 out of every 3 tokens be red, continuing until we have done this
with all 12 tokens. If we use the equal groups approach, we would divide the 12 tokens into three
equal groups first, and then make two of the groups be red. In either case,
8
12
of the tokens will be
red in the end, showing that
2
3
is equivalent to that fraction.
The grammar of phrases involving fractions/decimals. Although not explicitly mentioned in the
Indiana Math Standards, students working with fractions benefit from an explicit analysis of the
grammar used in English phrases about fractions. In particular, the prepositional phrase starting
with the word of which follows a fraction or decimal contains important information about the size
of the whole (1), and often implies which kind of fraction model is being used. For example, we
might say “3/10 of the shapes are squares.” This phrase implies that all of the shapes present at this
time constitute the whole. It also implies that we are using a set model rather than an area model
– the size of the shapes does not matter in this case. We might say “0.3 of the package of shapes is
blue.” Notice that the tense of the verb changed from plural to singular because we are now referring
to packages rather than to shapes. Whereas the first phrase implied that all of the shapes together
constitute the whole, this time only the shapes in the package are included. This phrase still implies
that the sizes of the shapes do not matter, so we are still working with a set model. We could say
in another situation “I have 11/4 of a pack of squares.” This would mean that I have packs that
hold a certain number of squares. I have enough of those squares to fill 11/4 of a pack. 4/4 will fill
one pack, and 8/4 will fill two packs. So I have enough to fill two packs completely and I will have
3/4 of another pack. I could describe this situation equivalently as “I have 23
4 packs of squares.”
Notice that the word pack is singular in the example above because I had eleven “fourths of a pack”.
However, when using a mixed number greater than 1, the object described becomes plural and the
preposition “of” is no longer used.

involving shapes.
4.M.5 Understand that an angle is measured with reference to a circle, with its center at the common
endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the
two rays intersect the circle. Understand an angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called
a ”one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure other angles. Understand an angle that turns

Use physical square units to find areas/perimeters. This is a review of concepts from 3rd grade. I

Use ratio and equal group interpretations to show fractions with area and set models. The In-
diana Math Standards only require equal group interpretations of fractions in 5th grade, leaving
ratio interpretations until 6th grade. However, I have found that ratio interpretations arise naturally
among 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students working with area and set models and causes confusion if
not addressed early on in a simple way. To show the fraction
2
3
with 12 two-colored tokens, we could
take a ratio approach and make 2 out of every 3 tokens be red, continuing until we have done this
with all 12 tokens. If we use the equal groups approach, we would divide the 12 tokens into three
equal groups first, and then make two of the groups be red. In either case,
8
12
of the tokens will be
red in the end, showing that
2
3
is equivalent to that fraction.
5th Grade – Operations and Algebra
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
5.NS.3 Recognize the relationship that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times
as much as it represents in the place to its right, and inversel, a digit in one place represents 1/10 of
what it represents in the place to its left.
5.NS.4 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers
of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or
divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
5.C.1 Multiply multi-digit whole numbers fluently using a standard algorithmic approach.
5.C.2 Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors,
using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between
multiplication and division. Describe the strategy and explain the reasoning used.
5.C.9 Evaluate expressions with parentheses or brackets involving whole numbers using the commutative
properties of addition and multiplication, associative properties of addition and multiplication, and
distributive property.
5.AT.6 Graph points with whole number coordinates on a coordinate plane. Explain how the coordinates
relate the point as the distance from the origin on each axis, with the convention that the names of
the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
5.AT.7 Represent real-world problems and equations by graphing ordered pairs in the first quadrant of
the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
5.AT.8 Define and use up to two variables to write linear expressions that arise from real-world problems,
and evaluate them for given values.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Algorithms for +/− and ×/÷ facts. The Indiana Math Standards presume that students have already
mastered algorithms for addition and subtraction in 4th grade. They also presume that students have
mastered basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. 5th grade students typically
need continuing review of these skills.
5th Grade – Problem Solving
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
5.AT.1 Solve real-world problems involving multiplication and division of whole numbers (e.g. by using
equations to represent the problem). In division problems that involve a remainder, explain how the
remainder affects the solution to the problem.
5.AT.2 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same
whole, including cases of unlike denominators (e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to
represent the problem). Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally
and assess whether the answer is reasonable.
5.AT.3 Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions, including mixed numbers (e.g., by
using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem).
5.AT.4 Solve real-world problems involving division of unit fractions by non-zero whole numbers, and
division of whole numbers by unit fractions (e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to
represent the problem).
5.AT.5 Solve real-world problems involving addition, subtraction, mutliplication, and division with dec-
imals to hundredths, including problems that involve money in decimal notation (e.g. by using
equations to represent the problem).
5.DS.1 Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and make predictions about the data. Use
observations, surveys, and experiments to collect, represent, and interpret the data using tables
(including frequency tables), line plots, bar graphs, and line graphs. Recognize the differences in
representing categorical and numerical data.
5.DS.2 Understand and use measures of center (mean and median) and frequency (mode) to describe a
data set.
5th Grade – Measurement
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
5.M.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system,
and use these conversions in solving multi-step real-world problems.
5.M.2 Find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by modeling with unit squares of the
appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show that the area is the same as would be found by
multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and represent
fraction products as rectangular areas.
5.M.3 Develop and use formulas for the area of triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids. Solve real-world
and other mathematical problems that involve perimeter and area of triangles, parallelograms and
trapezoids, using appropriate units for measures.
5.M.4 Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with
unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths
or multiplying the height by the area of the base.
5.M.5 Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = B × h for right rectangular prisms to find volumes
of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths to solve real-world problems and other
mathematical problems.
5.M.6 Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding
the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real-world problems and
other mathematical problems.
Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards:
Constructing lengths involving fractions and decimals of inches, centimeters, feet, yards, and meters.
The Indiana Math Standards do not explicitly ask students to construct lengths, but I have found
this to be a critical skill that needs extensive practice. Many local employers report that the lack
of proficiency of this skill in the local workforce is a major barrier to greater economic prosperity.
Constructing lengths rather than merely measuring develops students motor skills and attentiveness
to precision. Students should be able to draw a line or cut out a strip of paper with a given length
and width accurately (to the nearest 1/16 inch or millimeter). They should be able to tape together
strips of paper to make a strip measuring multiple feet or yards. It often helps to trace a correct
version of the strip so that students can check their accuracy independently (I like to invite students
to play a game pretending that they are cutting out frog tongues that are just long enough to reach
a fly. If their tongue is the right length, then their frog gets a point.) Target measurements should
also include fractions and decimals of a foot, yard, or meter.
5th Grade – Geometry
Related Indiana Math Standards include:
5.G.1 Identify, describe, and draw triangles (right, acute, obtuse) and circles using appropriate tools
(e.g., ruler or straightedge, compass and technology). Understand the relationship between radius
and diameter.
5.G.2 Identify and classify polygons including quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and triangles (equilat-
eral, isosceles, scalene, right, acute and obtuse) based on angle measures and sides. Classify polygons
in a hierarchy based on properties.

  • 16. Kindergarten Indiana Math Standards By Strand Kindergarten – Oral Counting Related Indiana Math Standards include: K.NS.1 Count to 100 by ones and by tens and count on by one from any number. K.NS.3 Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20. Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Counting backwards. Many computational strategies that need to be developed in 1st grade would be greatly aided if students had greater fluency with counting backwards coming out of Kindergarten. Incorporating backwards counting as a classroom transition routine during the second half of the year can give students this foundation without adding explicit instructional time. Kindergarten – Object Counting Related Indiana Math Standards include: K.NS.4 Say the number names in standard order when counting objects, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Understand that the last number name said describes the number of objects counted and that the number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. K.NS.5 Count up to 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle. Count up to 10 objects in a scattered configuration. Count out the number of objects, given a number from 1 to 20. K.NS.6 Recognize sets of 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting. K.NS.7 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). K.NS.9 Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; none, some, and all; more and less; most and least; and equal to, more than, and less than. K.NS.11 Develop initial understandings of place value and the base 10 number system by showing equiv- alent forms of whole numbers from 10 to 20 as groups of tens and ones using objects and drawings. K.CA.3 Use objects, drawings, etc., to decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, and record each decomposition with a drawing or an equation (e.g., 5=2+3 and 5=4+1). [In Kindergarten, students should see equations and be encouraged to trace them, however, writing equations is not required.] K.CA.4 Find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number for any number from 1 to 9 (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation. Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Counting out beyond 20 items, forming 10s. The Indiana Math Standards only ask Kindergarten students to master counting out up to 20 objects, and they are only required to form 10s and 1s with numbers in the teens. However, the pattern of making 10s and 1s is more readily apparent when working with larger numbers. Also, the Indiana Math Standards do require students to count by 10s to 100, and so pairing that skill with physical objects is natural and instructionally useful.
  • 17. Subitizing and Number Talks. “Subitizing” means visually grouping objects so that they are easier to notice and count. A “number talk” is a group conversation guided by the teacher that allows students to verbalize critical thinking skills about math concepts. Number talks with dots involve showing students a wide variety of scattered dot configurations – some can be similar to dot patterns on dice or dominoes, but other configurations should also be included. Students discuss how many dots they think there are and different ways they could mentally group the dots. Number talks also commonly involve other kinds of manipulatives such as rekenreks, five and ten frames, number lines, et cetera. These activities support Indiana Math Standards relating to counting, cardinality, patterned arrange- ments, addition, subtraction, and even geometry (when students “see” squares or triangles formed by the dots). These activities also teach students to verbalize mathematical ideas, and to develop higher level thinking skills. Practice with number talks in Kindergarten also lays a strong foundation for number sense and critical 1st grade concepts. Two resources supporting number talks are: • Kara Kolson, Suzanne Mole, and Manuel Silva. “Dot Card and Ten Frame Activities.” Numer- acy Project, Winnipeg School Division, 2005 – 2006. • Sherry Parrish. Number Talks: Helping Children Build Mental Math and Computation Strate- gies. Math Solutions, Sausalito, CA, 2010. Finger Cardinality. The Indiana Math Standards do imply the use of fingers as part of addition and subtraction. However, many children need more practice with quickly showing a given number of fingers. This is a critical skill that 1st grade students need and do not usually have time to practice. This skill is closely related to Indiana Math Standards relating to counting, cardinality, addition, subtraction, and place value. Recent research shows that “finger gnosis” is a predictor of mathematical ability, and suggests that the area of the brain involving awareness of fingers is closely connected with areas of the brain governing number sense and computation. The following article contains more information about finger gnosis and mathematical ability: • Marcie Penner-Wilger and Michael L. Anderson. “The relation between finger gnosis and math- ematical ability: why redeployment of neural circuits best explains the finding.” Frontiers in Psychology. 2013; 4: 877. Kindergarten – Read & Write Numbers Related Indiana Math Standards include: K.NS.2 Write whole numbers from 0 to 20 and recognize number words from 0 to 10. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0 – 20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). K.NS.8 Compare the values of two numbers from 1 to 20 presented as written numerals. Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Recognizing numbers beyond 20. The Indiana Math Standards only require mastery of number recog- nition up to 20, although they require verbal counting up to 100. Although students do not need to master number recognition beyond 20, they should still see written numbers beyond 20 and practice writing them when appropriate. Kindergarten students enjoy saying and writing really large num- bers, so teachers should be prepared to correctly write and say numbers up to a billion (and probably beyond).
  • 18. Kindergarten – Addition & Subtraction Related Indiana Math Standards include: K.NS.10 Separate sets of ten or fewer objects into equal groups. K.CA.1 Use objects, drawings, mental images, sounds, etc., to represent addition and subtraction within 10. K.CA.2 Solve real-world problems that involve addition and subtraction within 10 (e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem). K.CA.5 Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes. Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Adding and subtracting for sums from 10 up to 20. The Indiana Math Standards only require ex- posure to addition and subtraction within 10, though Kindergarten students do decompose numbers in the teens into a sum of a ten and some ones. Exposure to addition and subtraction within 20 or beyond during the fourth quarter makes sense if the students are already comfortable working within 10. Kindergarten – Geometry, Measurement, and Data Related Indiana Math Standards include: K.G.1 Describe the positions of objects and geometric shapes in space using the terms inside, outside, between, above, below, near, far, under, over, up, down, behind, in front of, behind, in front of, next to, the the left of and to the right of. K.G.2 Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). K.G.3 Model shapes in the world by composing shapes from objects (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. K.G.4 Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. (e.g., create a rectangle composed of two triangles). K.M.1 Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more. K.MD.2 Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomor- row, day, week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure time. K.DA.1 Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
  • 19. 1st Grade Indiana Math Standards By Strand 1st Grade – Count, Compare/Order Related Indiana Math Standards include: 1.NS.1 Count to at least 120 by ones, fives, and tens from any given number. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. 1.NS.3 Match the ordinal numbers first, second, third, etc., with an ordered set up to 10 items. 1.NS.4 Use place value understanding to compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <. 1.NS.5 Find mentally 10 more or 10 less than a given two-digit number without having to count, and explain the thinking process used to get the answer. 1.M.3 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes. Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Counting backward by 1s, 5s, and 10s. The Indiana Math Standards do not explicitly state that stu- dents must be able to count backward. However, practicing this skill significantly increases student computational fluency and number sense. It also assists with 1.NS.5 which asks students to determine the number that is 1 more / 1 less or 10 more / 10 less. 1st Grade – Represent #s / +/− Models Related Indiana Math Standards include: 1.NS.2 Understand that 10 can be thought of as a group of ten ones – called a “ten.” Understand that the numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones. Understand that the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones). 1.NS.6 Show equivalent forms of whole numbers as groups of tens and ones, and understand that the individual digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. 1.CA.5 Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using models or drawings based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; describe the strategy and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones, and that sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten. 1.CA.6 Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false (e.g., 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.M.3 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
  • 20. 1st Grade – +/− Strategies / Fact Mastery Related Indiana Math Standards include: 1.NS.5 Find mentally 10 more or 10 less than a given two-digit number without having to count, and explain the thinking process used to get the answer. 1.CA.1 Demonstrate fluency with addition facts and the corresponding subtraction facts within 20. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13−4 = 13−3−1 = 10−1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 − 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13). Understand the role of 0 in addition and subtraction. 1.CA.5 Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using models or drawings based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; describe the strategy and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones, and that sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten. 1.CA.7 Create, extend, and given an appropriate rule for number patterns using addition within 100. 1st Grade – Problem Solving Related Indiana Math Standards include: 1.CA.2 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction within 20 in situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all parts of the addition or subtraction problem (e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). 1.CA.3 Create a real-world problem to represent a given equation involving addition and subtraction within 20. 1.CA.4 Solve real-world problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is within 20 (e.g., by using objeccts, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). 1.DA.1 Organize and interpret data with up to three choices (What is your favorite fruit? apples, bananas, oranges); ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each choice, and how many more or less in once choice compared to another. 1st Grade – Measurement, Time, and Geometry Related Indiana Math Standards include: 1.G.1 Identify objects as two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Classify and sort two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects by shape, size, roundness, and other attributes. Describe how two-dimensional shapes make up the faces of three-dimensional objects. 1.G.2 Distinguish between defining attributes of two- and three-dimensional shapes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size). Create and draw two-dimensional shapes with defining attributes.
  • 21. 1.G.3 Use two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter- circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. [In grade 1, students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”] 1.G.4 Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts; describe the parts using the words halves, fourths, and quarters; and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of, the parts. Understand for partitioning circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts that decomposing into more equal parts creates smaller parts. 1.M.1 Use direct comparison or a nonstandard unit to compare and order objects according to length, area, capacity, weight, and temperature. 1.M.2 Tell and write time to the nearest half-hour and relate time to events (before/after, shorter/longer) using analog clocks.

Use words, models, standard form and expanded form to represent and show equivalent forms of whole numbers up to 1,000. 2.NS.3 Plot and compare whole numbers up to 1,000 on a number line. 2.NS.4 Match the ordinal numbers first, second, third, etc., with an ordered set up to 30 items. 2.NS.5 Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members (e.g., by placing that number of objects in two groups of the same size and recognizing that for even numbers no object will be left over and for odd numbers one object will be left over, or by pairing objects or counting them by 2s). 2.NS.6 Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones (e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones). Understand that 100 can be thought of as a group of ten tens – called a “hundred.” Understand that the numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones). 2.CA.5 Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal groups. 2.CA.7 Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for number patterns using addition and subtraction within 1000. 2.M.7 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars. 2nd Grade – Addition and Subtraction 2.CA.1 Add and subtract fluently within 100. 2.CA.4 Add and subtract within 1000, using models or drawings and strategies based on place value, prop- erties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; desribe the strategy and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones, and that sometimes it is necesary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds. 2.CA.6 Show that the order in which two numbers are added (commutative property) and how the numbers are grouped in addition (associative property) will not change the sum. These properties can be used to show that numbers can be added in any order.
  • 23. 2nd Grade – Problem Solving Related Indiana Math Standards include: 2.CA.2 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction within 100 in situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all parts of the addition or subtraction problem (e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). Use estimation to decide whether answers are reasonable in addition problems. 2.CA.3 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction within 100 in situations involving lengths that are given in the same units (e.g., by using drawings, such as drawings of rulers, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). 2.M.5 Tell and write time to the nearest five minutes from analog clocks, using a.m. and p.m. Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals on the hour or half hour. 2.M.7 Find the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars. 2.DA.1 Draw a picture graph (with single-unit scale) and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four choices (What is your favorite color? red, blue, yellow, green). Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in the graphs. 2nd Grade – Measurement Related Indiana Math Standards include: 2.M.1 Describe the relationships among inch, foot, and yard. Describe the relationship between centimeter and meter. 2.M.2 Estimate and measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools, such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes to the nearest inch, foot, yard, centimeter, and meter. 2.M.3 Understand that the length of an object does not change regardless of the units used.

Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Constructing lengths. The Indiana Math Standards do not explicitly ask students to construct lengths, but I have found this to be a critical skill that needs extensive practice. Many local employers report that the lack of proficiency of this skill in the local workforce is a major barrier to greater economic prosperity. Constructing lengths rather than merely measuring develops students motor skills and attention to precision. Students should be able to draw a line or cut out a strip of paper accurately (to the nearest inch or centimeter). They should be able to tape together strips of paper to make a strip measuring multiple feet or yards. It often helps to trace a correct version of the strip so that students can check their accuracy independently (I like to invite students to play a game pretending
  • 24. that they are cutting out frog tongues that are just long enough to reach a fly. If their tongue is the right length, then their frog gets a point.) 2nd Grade – Geometry Related Indiana Math Standards include: 2.G.1 Identify, describe, and classify two- and three-dimensional shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, cube, right rectangular prism) according to the number and shape of faces and the number of sides and/or vertices.

Recognize that equal parts of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
  • 25. 3rd Grade Indiana Math Standards By Strand 3rd Grade – Addition and Subtraction Related Indiana Math Standards include: 3.NS.1 Read and write whole numbers up to 10,000. Use words, models, standard form and expanded form to represent and show equivalent forms of whole numbers up to 10,000. 3.NS.2 Compare two whole numbers up to 10,000 using >, =, < symbols. 3.NS.9 Use place value understanding to round 2- and 3-digit whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100. 3.C.1 Add and subtract whole numbers fluently within 1000. Note that “Using manipulatives to add and subtract within 1000” and “Fluent mastery of addition and subtraction facts within 20” are both from 2nd grade Indiana Math Standards. Third grade students often need to review and reinforce these skills to achieve mastery. 3rd Grade – Multiplication and Division Related Indiana Math Standards include: 3.C.2 Represent the concept of multiplication of whole numbers with the following models: equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, and equal “jumps” on a number line. Understand the properties of 0 and 1 in multiplication. 3.C.3 Represent the concept of division of whole numbers with the following models: partitioning, sharing, and an inverse of multiplication. Understand the properties of 0 and 1 in division. 3.C.4 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers (e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each). 3.C.5 Multiply and divide within 100 using strategies, such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8), or properties of operations. 3.C.6 Demonstrate fluency with multiplication facts and corresponding division facts of 0 to 10. 3.AT.4 Interpret a multiplication equation as equal groups (e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each). Represent verbal statements of equal groups as multiplication equations. 3.AT.5 Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. 3.AT.6 Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for number patterns using multiplication within 1000. 3rd Grade – Problem Solving Related Indiana Math Standards include: 3.AT.1 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers within 1000 (e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem).
  • 26. 3.AT.2 Solve real-world problems involving whole number multiplication and division within 100 in sit- uations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities (e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). 3.AT.3 Solve two-step real-world problems using the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplica- tion, and division (e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). 3.M.4 Find the value of any collection of coins and bills. Write amounts less than a dollar using the cents symbol and write larger amounts using the $ symbol in the form of dollars and cents (e.g., $4.59). Solve real-world problems to determine whether there is enough money to make a purchase. 3.DA.1 Create scaled picture graphs, scaled bar graphs, and frequency tables to represent a data set – including data collected through observations, surveys, and experiments – with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems regarding the data and make predictions based on the data. 3rd Grade – Fractions The Indiana Math Standards require that 3rd grade students work concretely with many different models of fractions including area models, set models, and number line models. Students should also work concretely with fractions in the contexts of money, time, rulers, hundred grids, cup measures, tokens, items that come in packs, et cetera. Students should also frequently work with fractions bigger than 1. Students should be able to count out 23 4 of an inch on a ruler to see that this fraction is equivalent to 5 3 4 inches. Related Indiana Math Standards include: 3.NS.3 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b. [In grade 3, limit denominators of fractions to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.] 3.NS.4 Represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole, and partitioning it into b equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/b and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/b on the number line. 3.NS.5 Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths 1/b from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the number a/b on the number line. 3.NS.6 Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line. 3.NS.7 Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3). Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. 3.NS.8 Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size based on the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. 3.G.4 Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole. (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8).
  • 27. Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Use ratio and equal group interpretations to show fractions with area and set models. The In- diana Math Standards only require equal group interpretations of fractions in 3rd grade, leaving ratio interpretations until 6th grade. However, I have found that ratio interpretations arise naturally among 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students working with area and set models and causes confusion if not addressed early on in a simple way. To show the fraction 2 3 with 12 two-colored tokens, we could take a ratio approach and make 2 out of every 3 tokens be red, continuing until we have done this with all 12 tokens. If we use the equal groups approach, we would divide the 12 tokens into three equal groups first, and then make two of the groups be red. In either case, 8 12 of the tokens will be red in the end, showing that 2 3 is equivalent to that fraction. Use grid paper or hundred grids to show fractions. The Indiana Math Standards only require stu- dents to master halves through eighths in 3rd grade. The use of grids fits well with ideas of multi- plication and division also introduced in 3rd grade, and so I recommend introducing them early as a powerful model for accurately depicting fractions of any size. 3rd Grade – Measurement & Geometry Related Indiana Math Standards include: 3.M.1 Estimate and measure the mass of objects in grams (g) and kilograms (kg) and the volume of objects in quarts (qt), gallons (gal), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one- step real-world problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units (e.g., by using drawings, such as a beaker with a measurement scale, to represent the problem). 3.M.2 Choose and use appropriate units and tools to estimate and measure length, weight, and tempera- ture.

Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards Constructing lengths. The Indiana Math Standards do not explicitly ask students to construct lengths, but I have found this to be a critical skill that needs extensive practice. Many local employers report that the lack of proficiency of this skill in the local workforce is a major barrier to greater economic prosperity. Constructing lengths rather than merely measuring develops students motor skills and attentiveness to precision. Students should be able to draw a line or cut out a strip of paper accurately (to the nearest 1/4 inch or 1/2 centimeter). They should be able to tape together strips of paper to make a strip measuring multiple feet or yards. It often helps to trace a correct version of the strip so that students can check their accuracy independently (I like to invite students to play a game pretending that they are cutting out frog tongues that are just long enough to reach a fly. If their tongue is the right length, then their frog gets a point.) Constructing 1/2, 1/4, 1/3 foot, yard, meter The Standards do ask students to work with lengths that are accurate to 1/4 inch or 1/2 cm. The Standards do not explicitly ask students to work with fractions of a foot, yard, and meter. I added this suggestion because it is consistent with the overall arc of topics in 3rd grade and gives more practice with length measurement and fractions. Predicting lengths in one kind of unit given a measurement using another kind of unit. The In- diana Math Standards for 2nd grade do ask students to measure the same length using many different kinds of units, and they ask students to predict which measurement will need a larger number. I think it is helpful to revisit this in 3rd grade, and to take advantage of this activity to ask students to guess how many units of another type would be required. This practice plants the seeds for estima- tion and conversion skills. Students should take a moment to draw a diagram to try to predict the value, and then record their guesses before measuring using the other units to check their answers. Including simple fractions such as 1/2s, 1/3s, 1/4s, and 1/10s is also helpful for helping students to contextualize their understanding of fractions.

The Indiana Math Standards ask students to learn the algorithm for multi-digit +/−, assuming that they have a thorough mastery of using strategies for multi-digit +/− from their work at prior grade levels. I think it is important to review these approaches and also to send the message that students should continue to use a variety of strategies even after they learn the algorithms. Demonstrate mastery of basic +/ − / × /÷ facts. Students should have learned the basic facts for the four operations in second and third grade. However, it is likely that they will need continuing practice on these skills to achieve real fluency.

Items not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards: Use ratio and equal group interpretations to show fractions with area and set models. The In- diana Math Standards only require equal group interpretations of fractions in 4th grade, leaving ratio interpretations until 6th grade. However, I have found that ratio interpretations arise naturally among 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students working with area and set models and causes confusion if not addressed early on in a simple way. To show the fraction 2 3 with 12 two-colored tokens, we could take a ratio approach and make 2 out of every 3 tokens be red, continuing until we have done this with all 12 tokens. If we use the equal groups approach, we would divide the 12 tokens into three equal groups first, and then make two of the groups be red. In either case, 8 12 of the tokens will be red in the end, showing that 2 3 is equivalent to that fraction. The grammar of phrases involving fractions/decimals. Although not explicitly mentioned in the Indiana Math Standards, students working with fractions benefit from an explicit analysis of the grammar used in English phrases about fractions. In particular, the prepositional phrase starting with the word of which follows a fraction or decimal contains important information about the size of the whole (1), and often implies which kind of fraction model is being used. For example, we might say “3/10 of the shapes are squares.” This phrase implies that all of the shapes present at this time constitute the whole. It also implies that we are using a set model rather than an area model – the size of the shapes does not matter in this case. We might say “0.3 of the package of shapes is blue.” Notice that the tense of the verb changed from plural to singular because we are now referring to packages rather than to shapes. Whereas the first phrase implied that all of the shapes together constitute the whole, this time only the shapes in the package are included. This phrase still implies that the sizes of the shapes do not matter, so we are still working with a set model. We could say in another situation “I have 11/4 of a pack of squares.” This would mean that I have packs that hold a certain number of squares. I have enough of those squares to fill 11/4 of a pack. 4/4 will fill one pack, and 8/4 will fill two packs. So I have enough to fill two packs completely and I will have 3/4 of another pack. I could describe this situation equivalently as “I have 23 4 packs of squares.” Notice that the word pack is singular in the example above because I had eleven “fourths of a pack”. However, when using a mixed number greater than 1, the object described becomes plural and the preposition “of” is no longer used. 4th Grade – Measurement Related Indiana Math Standards include: 4.M.1 Measure length to the nearest quarter-inch, eighth-inch, and millimeter. 4.M.2 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units, including km, m, cm; kg, g;

Understand an angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees. 4.M.6 Measure angles in whole-number degrees using appropriate tools.
