Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.2.20.1: Measure objects using standard units.
M.2.20.2: Record lengths with appropriate units.
M.2.20.3: Use subtraction within 20 to solve problems.
M.2.20.4: Compare length using non-standard units to determine which is longer.

  • Communicate long, tall, short.
  • Recognize the length attributes of objects (long/short, tall/short).
  • Recognize length as the measurement of something from end to end.
  • Understand different forms of measurement (inches, centimeters).
  • Understand ruler.
  • Match numerals to objects or drawings.
  • Identify numerals 0 to 20.

  • Add and subtract numbers within 20 using objects, pictures and fingers.
  • Take a smaller set out of a larger set.
  • Combine two sets to make a larger set up to twenty.
  • Count items in a set up to twenty.
  • Establish one-to-one correspondence between numbers and objects.
  • Understand one less than a number 2 through 20.
  • Understand one more than a number 1 through 20.

21. Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving same units of length, representing the problem with drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and/or equations with a symbol for the unknown number.
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:

  • strategically use a variety of representations to solve problems with all addition and subtraction contexts.
  • use symbols to represent unknown quantities in equations.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • that they can apply the concept of length to solve addition and subtraction word problems for numbers within 100.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.2.21.1: Solve one-step addition and subtraction word problems with an unknown by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Examples: question mark, blank, box, or letter.
M.2.21.2: Demonstrate the understanding of terms in addition and subtraction word problems involving length.
Examples: adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, sum, difference, all together, how many more, how many are left, in all, inches, feet, yards, longer, shorter, nearer, farther, closer.
M.2.21.3: Locate the unknown number regardless of position.
M.2.21.4: Add and subtract within 50, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
M.2.21.5: Model writing equations from word problems.
M.2.21.6: Apply signs +, -, = to actions of joining and separating sets.
M.2.21.7: Identify units of measurement for length.
Examples: inches, feet, yard; centimeter, meters.

Prior Knowledge Skills:
