1.PS Problem Solving
  • Students will build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.
  • 1.PS.1 Explore, examine, and make observations about a social problem or mathematical situation
  • 1.PS.2 Interpret information correctly, identify the problem, and generate possible solutions
  • Students will solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts.
  • 1.PS.3 Act out or model with manipulatives activities involving mathematical content from literature and/or story telling
  • 1.PS.4 Formulate problems and solutions from everyday situations (e.g., counting the number of children in the class or using the calendar to teach counting)
  • Students will apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.
  • 1.PS.5 Use informal counting strategies to find solutions
  • 1.PS.6 Experience teacher-directed questioning process to understand problems
  • 1.PS.7 Compare and discuss ideas for solving a problem with teacher and/or students to justify their thinking
  • 1.PS.8 Use manipulatives (e.g., tiles, blocks) to model the action in problems
  • 1.PS.9 Use drawings/pictures to model the action in problems
  • Students will monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.
  • 1.PS.10 Explain to others how a problem was solved, giving strategies and justifications
1.RP Reasoning and Proof
1.CM Communication
1.CN Connections
1.R Representation
  • Students will create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
  • 1.R.1 Use multiple representations including verbal and written language, acting out or modeling a situation, drawings, and/or symbols as representations
  • 1.R.2 Share mental images of mathematical ideas and understandings
  • 1.R.3 Use standard and nonstandard representations
  • Students will select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems.
  • 1.R.4 Connect mathematical representations with problem solving
  • Students will use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena.
  • 1.R.5 Use mathematics to show and understand physical phenomena (e.g., estimate and represent the number of apples in a tree)
  • 1.R.6 Use mathematics to show and understand social phenomena (e.g., count and represent sharing cookies between friends)
  • 1.R.7 Use mathematics to show and understand mathematical phenomena (e.g., draw pictures to show a story problem, show number value using fingers on your hand)
