Performance Indicators Students will be able to:	Essential Elements (Specific grade level learning objectives)			Suggested Performance Activities	Suggested Classroom Assessments	Vocabulary
1. Make drawings for problem situations and mathematical expressions in which there is an unknown, using a variety of tools and approaches.	Draw a picture and/or demonstrate a numeric relationship in a variety of ways. Pictures Cuisenaire Rods Base ten Blocks Unifix cubes Pattern blocks			Cuisenaire Rods Students will be given experiences with Cuisenaire Rods and observing the relationships in the value of lengths and colors Numerical Relationships Students will practice solving problems to predict how many stars there will be after the fifth pattern if the first part has 3 stars, the second part has 6 stars, the third part has 9 stars. Students will practice making charts, drawings, and tables. Resources: Interactive math word problems http://www.bathpu blicschools.com/ fms/grade2/cooki es/ckhome.html> This contains samples of a variety of problems and solutions. Posing and Solving with Story Boxes by Donna Burk & Allyn Snider, Math Learning Center, Salem, Oregon See 2.B for related task. Both of these activities meet Standard G 2,3.

Then select Mathematics Grade PK-2. Students will build the first three letters (min. 2-3 in. high) of their name twice using Cuisenaire Rods. They will trace and explain the value of each letter for each example. Students will write a word problem and draw a solution and write a number sentence to go with it. Students will write, draw, and explain their reasoning for a problem like the following: Mary is selling 25 cupcakes. Peter bought 3, Mary ate 5. How many cupcakes are left?	equation symbol known unknown add subtract equal diagram chart table graph
