PA Core Standard Integration
The unit will incorporate standards from the Pennsylvania Core State Standards for Mathematics in Numbers and Operations of Base 10. The focus will be primarily on students being able to demonstrate an understanding of place-value of decimals and compare quantities or magnitudes of numbers in my students real-life.
- Understand that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times of what it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left (M05.A-T.1.1.1)
- Read and write decimals to the thousandths using base-ten numerals, word form, and expanded form (M05.A-T.1.1.3)
- Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place using the comparison symbols >, =, < to record the results of the comparisons (M05.A-T.1.1.4)
PA Common Core Standards: Standards for Mathematical Practice Standards
The unit will incorporate standards from the Pennsylvania Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice Standards. These practices support important processes and proficiencies in mathematics education as outlined by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the National Research Council’s report Adding it Up. This PA Document has been adapted from the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
- Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- Model with mathematics.
- Use appropriate tools strategically.
- Attend to precision.
- Look for and make use of structure.
- Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
