We don’t see a lot of use of tech or collaboration. Ability to integrate based on connections with soc. st., sci., went through and listed the verbs to check. There are a lot of “use, illustrate, represent, understand.” One or two of the higher level ones like “summarize, predict, classify, infer, analyze.” But... you have to build basic understanding before you can manipulate at higher levels.

If some are solely for introduction, that would certainly change the amount of time you would spend on it and also if you would assess it. L. Jones MES This is a good point. If they would mark which objectives are introduced vs. mastered at a particular grade level, it would help. MES 3rd Knotts Island 3- 5 feels the skills are measureable but the standards do not always state a grade is accountable for a skill and it should not be just assumed.

Knotts Island 3-5 feels all are clear and concise. MES:3rd- 5.1 Which 2 dimensional shapes? Be specific please., help with vocabulary!

Knotts Island 3-5 feels some skills are missing and did not really see where much was reduced and still worried about the time especially if school days are going to be reduced.

Yes, although we think the current standards were more rigorous. Knotts Island 3-5 does not see much change. MES 3rd: “more rigorous?” - maybe... different, certainly. No 3-D figures in 3rd or 4th and only rectangular prisms in 5th. No customary measurement in 3rd. Only bar graphs in 3rd. No improper fractions or probability expressed as a fraction til 5th. <span style="font-size: 20pt; color: rgb(0,0,255);">Relevant to the Real World <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);"> <span style="font-size: 6pt; color: rgb(0,0,255);"> <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);"> The Essential Standards are applicable to real world contexts and lend themselves to integration across content areas. || <span style="display: block; color: rgb(0,0,255); text-align: center;">**Components to Consider:** <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);"> || <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);"> <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);">Allow for natural integration of knowledge and skills throughout multiple content areas. <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);">Will be meaningful and important in the future. <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255);">Assessment prototypes measure Essential Standard in a way that allows for application to new and novel situations. ||

I think that integrating it into other content areas will help students understand the value of what they are learning. It they can see how it applies to a career choices in Science, etc., they will be more interested in learning it. L.Jones MES Knotts Island 3-5 thinks the standards are applicable to the real world contexts and integrating across the content areas is very reasonable. MES 3rd: concepts relevant, maybe not vocabulary ( see 4th 7.1.2 “partitioning, transitivity, iteration, compensatory principle?”) also names of properties (distributive, commutative, etc.), <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Don’t see much novel assessment. Seems pretty standard. Still incomplete as well

Some of our standards were removed. Customary units of measurement, 3D figures, elasped time(not telling time) Central Elem. 3rd grade //** Knotts Island 3-5 is very concern about some of the removal of the necessary standards. In 3rd grade the teacher is concerned about only teaching metric, what about customary measurement? Also some of the vocabulary is not clear. 1. "Apply concepts of partitioning transitivity, iteration, and the compensatory principle to the measuring processes for capacity and length." 2."Clump, gap, trend, and variabliity for a set of data in tables and bar graphs." 3. "Composing and decomposing of composite rectangular shapes." 4. 5th grade teacher is not sure of a double stem-and-leaf plot.
