Course Purpose

Kindergarten	Students will connect numbers to quantities, use numbers to represent and relate, and compose and decompose numbers as they develop number sense. Students will use geometric ideas and spatial reasoning to describe their physical world.
1st Grade	Students will use numbers to represent, solve, and apply the properties and relationship of addition and subtraction with use of place value to solve problems. Students will fluently add and subtract within 20 as they extend the counting sequence.
2nd Grade	Students will apply place value concepts to the base-ten system in working with multi-digit numbers. Students will select and apply strategies to develop fluency with addition and subtraction within 100.
3rd Grade	Students will use multiplication and division strategies and the relationship between multiplication and division to solve problems within 100.
4th Grade	Students will use the four operations in multi-step processes, including two-digit by two-digit multiplication, long division, and equivalent fractions.
5th Grade	Students will solve problems involving fractions, decimals, and volume using the four operations.
6th Grade	Students will calculate and apply operations with positive rational numbers. Students will relate multiplication and division to ratios and proportional relationships. Students will construct and evaluate expressions and generate and solve equations.
7th Grade	Students will calculate and apply operations with rational numbers to solve real world problems. Students will apply algebraic concepts to solve one-step and two-step equations with rational numbers and apply to real world contexts.
8th Grade	Students will construct and solve multi-step linear equations to apply to real world contexts. Students will construct and solve systems of equations to apply to real world contexts. Students will construct and compare multiple representations of functions.
