Draw a math story: From the concrete to the symbolic

English Language Arts (2004)

Grade 1

• Goal 4: The learner will apply strategies and skills to create oral, written, and visual texts.
  • Objective 4.01: Select and use new vocabulary and language structures in both speech and writing contexts (e.g., oral retelling using exclamatory phrases to accent an idea or event).
  • Objective 4.04: Extend skills in using oral and written language:
    • clarifying purposes for engaging in communication.
    • using clear and precise language to paraphrase messages.
    • engaging in more extended oral discussions.
    • producing written products.
    • completing graphic organizers.
  • Objective 4.05: Write and/or participate in writing by using an author's model of language and extending the model (e.g., writing different ending for a story, composing an innovation of a poem).
  • Objective 4.06: Compose a variety of products (e.g., stories, journal entries, letters, response logs, simple poems, oral retellings).

Grade 2

• Goal 4: The learner will apply strategies and skills to create oral, written, and visual texts.
  • Objective 4.06: Plan and make judgments about what to include in written products (e.g., narratives of personal experiences, creative stories, skits based on familiar stories and/or experiences).

Kindergarten

• Goal 4: The learner will apply strategies and skills to create oral, written, and visual texts.
  • Objective 4.01: Use new vocabulary in own speech and writing.
  • Objective 4.06: Write and/or participate in writing behaviors by using authors' models of language.

Mathematics (2004)

Grade 1

• Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, and model whole numbers through 99 and compute with whole numbers.
  • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 99.
    • Connect the model, number word, and number using a variety of representations.

    • Compare and order sets and numbers.
    • Build understanding of place value (ones, tens).
    • Estimate quantities fewer than or equal to 100.
    • Recognize equivalence in sets and numbers 1-99.
  • Objective 1.03: Develop fluency with single-digit addition and corresponding differences using strategies such as modeling, composing and decomposing quantities, using doubles, and making tens.
  • Objective 1.04: Create, model, and solve problems that use addition, subtraction, and fair shares (between two or three).
