Math K - 6
Curriculum
2014
The new standards build on the best of high-quality math standards from states across
the country. They also draw on the most important international models for
mathematical practice, as well as research and input from numerous sources, including
state departments of education, scholars, assessment developers, professional
organizations, educators, parents and students, and members of the public.
The math standards provide clarity and specificity rather than broad general statements.
They follow a design that not only stresses conceptual understanding of key ideas but
also the organizing principles such as place value and the laws of arithmetic to structure
those ideas.
In addition, the sequence of topics and performances outlined in the body of math
standards respects what is known about how students learn, namely, that developing
sequenced obstacles and challenges for students, absent from the insights about
meaning that derive from careful study, is unwise. Therefore, the development of the
standards began with research-based learning progressions detailing what is known
today about how students’ mathematical knowledge, skill, and understanding develop
over time. The knowledge and skills students need to be prepared for mathematics in
college, career, and life are woven throughout the mathematics standards.
These standards define what students should understand and be able to do in their
study of mathematics. Teachers are required to assess understanding by asking the
student to justify, in a way that is appropriate to the student’s mathematical maturity,
why a particular mathematical statement is true or where a mathematical rule comes
from. Mathematical understanding and procedural skill are equally important, and both
are assessed by using mathematical tasks of sufficient richness.
The assessments contained in this curriculum document reflect the level of rigor
represented in the PARCC assessment and the NJ state Model Curriculum for Math.
They serve as guideposts for teachers in determining the level of preparedness
students need to reach. The Resource section will continue to evolve as teachers plan
their lessons and gather more resources to teach the units.

has size 1/b and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number
1/b on the number line.
Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths
1/b from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint
locates the number a/b on the number line.
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by
reasoning about their size.
Equivalent Fractions - Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are
the same size, or the same point on a number line.
Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3.
Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Express whole numbers as fractions, and recognize fractions that are equivalent
to whole numbers.
Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by
reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the
two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the
symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction
model.
Geometric Shapes & Characteristics - Understand that shapes in different
categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g.,
having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category
(e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as
examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not
belong to any of these subcategories.
Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a
unit fraction of the whole.

SLO #4 Add or subtract whole numbers within 20 using strategies including making a 10
or decomposing a number leading to a 10. (1.OA.6)
Materials: Ten-frame, counters, number line, student white board and markers, paper and
pencils
Directions:
1. Explain to the students that you are going to read them a story and ask them to try to
answer a question by just thinking about the problem.
2. Read Question 1 slowly. Repeat if necessary. Allow time for the students to think about
the problem.
3. If any students are stuck, ask them if they would like to use one of the tools. If they are
dependent on looking at their peers, encourage them to try their own idea.
4. Ask each student to share his or her answer with the group. After all students have shared
their answers, ask each student to explain how they got the answer. If there is a
disagreement, allow the students to discuss their solutions until they agree on the answer.
5. If a student does not make a 10 (i.e., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14), say, “Did anyone
consider making a 10? How could making a 10 help you solve this problem?”
Encourage the students to use the ten-frame to model a “make 10” strategy.
6. Repeat the process with Questions 2 and 3. For Question 2, instead of a “make 10”
strategy, students should be encouraged to use a “decompose to 10” strategy, i.e., 13 – 4
= 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9.
Questions:
1. Sophie had 8 crayons. Then her teacher gave her 6 crayons. How many crayons does
she have now?

number cubes, name them and explain that each side of a number cube has a different
number of dots. Have the student roll the number cubes a few times and practice counting
the total.
2. Place one number cube (perhaps red) with 5 dots showing and one (perhaps white) with 3
dots showing.
3. Ask, “How many dots are there altogether?”
4. If the student answers incorrectly, prompt him or her to count each dot, helping if
necessary.
5. Flip the red number cube so that it shows 3 dots. Say, “I just changed the red number
cube to 3. Can you tell me how I should turn the white number cube if we want the
same total number of dots, 8, all together?” Repeat these instructions if necessary.
6. After the student turns the white number cube, ask, “Explain how you knew how to
turn the white number cube.”

cards removed, manipulatives (such as blocks, bear counters, etc.)
Directions:
1. Organize the students into pairs and give each pair a deck of cards, two Missing Whole
Equation Cards (one for each student), and a set of at least 20 counters.
2. Write the first equation ( = ____ + ____ ) on a board where students can see it.
3. Ask each student to draw a card. Say, “Each of you has a number. Please put your
number and your partner’s number on the blank lines in number 1. For example, if
I have a 5 and you have a 3, we would put ‘5’ and ‘3’ in the blank spaces.”
Demonstrate this by writing 5 and 3 on the blank lines on the board.
4. Say, “Your job is to find out what goes in the empty box. What should go in my
box?” Students should say “8.” Write 8 in the box on the board.
5. Say, “Now find out what should go in your box.” Suggest that they use the counters if
needed.
6. Direct the students to try the remaining equations on their Equation Card. Make sure that
for each equation, they put the drawn numbers on the lines and solve for the number in
the box. Continue to remind them to use the manipulatives if needed.
7. This activity should be repeated occasionally so that each student eventually completes at
least three Missing Whole Equation Cards.

Materials: A poster with all of the student’s names (or list all of their names on the board) and
copies of the “Favorite Pizza” worksheets.
Directions:
1. Suggestion: You may want break the task up into two parts. For example, have the
students create the data table as part of the morning routine. (See sample data table.)
Later, work with small groups of students to represent and analyze the class data.
2. (Whole Class) Say to the students, “How many of you like to eat pizza? How many of
you like cheese pizza? Pepperoni? Sausage? If you had to choose your favorite kind
of pizza, would it be cheese, sausage, or pepperoni?” (You may want to change the
categories to include what your students like most.)
3. Say, “I am going ask each of you to say whether you would choose a cheese, sausage,
or pepperoni pizza.” Ask each student to say their favorite, and write the word or first
initial of each (“C,” “S,” or “P”) next to their name.
4. Organize the students into small groups, and give each group a “Favorite Pizza!”
worksheet. Say, “Let’s look at our class list of favorite pizza. We can organize the
list so that we can see if more people liked cheese, sausage, or pepperoni.”
5. Say, “Write your name at the top. At the top of your paper you have boxes to
organize our class list. What should we write in these boxes?” Solicit an answer from
each student.
6. After guiding the students to write the headings, “cheese,” “sausage,” and “pepperoni”
ask the group to fill in the table using the information on the class list.
7. After the students have had several minutes to organize the data, say, “Now let’s use our
pizza table to answer the questions.”
8. Read questions 1-3 aloud. After each question, have the students write the answer on
their sheet. When you get to questions 4-5, say, “Let’s read question 4 and 5.” Read
the questions aloud. You may want to ask students to retell the questions in their own
words. Then say, “To find the answer, look at our pizza table, then write the answers
on your paper.”

Directions:
1. Prior to the activity, cut out several circle and rectangle shapes to represent a
cookie (circle) and sheet cake (rectangle). You may want the children to decorate
them in advance.
2. Say to the student, “Let’s take your cookie. Show me how you would share the
cookie equally between 2 people?” Observe the student’s strategy; they may
choose to fold or draw a line to make equal parts.
3. Say, “How many shares are there?” Answer: “two.”
4. Point to half of the cookie and say, “Name this part of the whole cookie.”
Answer: “half” or “half of.” Write the name (“one half” or “half”) on each share.
5. Point to the whole cookie showing the labeled parts and say, “How can you
describe the whole cookie with its shares?” Answer: the whole cookie has “two
shares” or “two halves.”
6. Next, direct the student’s attention to the rectangle and say, “What if we had a
cake in this shape? What shape is it?” Answer: “rectangle.” Then say, “Let’s
look at your cake. How would you cut the cake equally for 4 people?”
Observe the student’s strategy; he/she may choose to fold or draw a line to make
equal parts.
7. Say, “How many shares are there?” Answer: “four.”
8. Hold up a fourth of the cake, “Name this part of the whole cake.” Answer:
“fourth” or “fourth of,” “a quarter,” “a fourth of”, “a quarter of.” Write the name
(“one fourth” or “fourth”) on each share.
9. Say, “If one share of the cake is a fourth (or quarter), then how would you
describe the whole cake with all of its shares?” Put the cake together to draw
attention to the parts of the whole cake. Answer: the whole cake has “four of the
shares,” or “4 shares of fourths (quarters).”
10. If the student does not provide the desired response, encourage him/her to think of
other ways to describe or name the whole cake.
