Pa Core Standards and Math

● Shifts in Mathematicso More emphasis on reasoning, problem

solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement

o More emphasis on connecting practice standards with content standards

K-2 Emphasis

● More emphasis on:o Numeration and place value (understanding

numbers)o Mastering addition and subtraction facts and

conceptso Composing and decomposing shapes and

numbers (visualization)

enVision MATH:● engages students as it strengthens their

understanding of math. ● uses problem based interactive learning and

visual learning to deepen conceptual understanding.

● incorporates bar diagram visual tools to help students be better problem solvers.

● provides differentiated instruction to ensure success for every student !

Some “Core” Vocabulary

● Standards- define what students should understand and be able to do

● Domains- groups of related standards

enVision MATH in action

Let’s take a peek at the K-2 Curriculum!

Kindergarten Domains

Domain 1: Counting and Cardinality Comparing and Ordering Numbers to 5

Numbers to 10 and to 20Domain 2: Operations and Algebraic Thinking Understanding addition and subtractionDomain 3: Numbers and Operations in Base Ten Composing and Decomposing numbers 11-19Domain 4: Measurement and Data Sorting, Classifying, Counting and Categorizing DataDomain 5: Geometry Identifying and Describing Shapes Position and Location of Shapes Comparing and Composing Shapes

Learning to Add in Kindergarten

Adding

Grade One DomainsDomain 1: Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Apply relationships between addition and subtraction Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction

Domain 2: Numbers and Operations in Base Ten Understand and apply place value concepts

Domain 3: Measurement and Data Measure lengths using standard units

Work with time Represent and interpret data

Domain 4: Geometry Identify 2-and 3-D shapes and apply understanding of shapes and their attributes to solve problems

Grade One- Learning Centers

● Aligned to Pa Core Curriculum ● Reinforce enVision lessons● Provide for differentiation (2

levels)● Encourage students to problem solve, work cooperatively, and talk about math.

Grade Two DomainsDomain 1: Operations and Algebraic Thinking Understanding Addition and Subtraction Addition and Subtraction Strategies Domain 2: Numbers and Operations in Base Ten Place Value to 1,000 2 and 3 digit Addition and Subtraction with

RegroupingDomain 3: Measurement and Data Counting Money, Measuring Length and Telling Time Graph and Interpret DataDomain 4: Geometry Recognize, identify and draw 2 and 3 dimensional

shapes
