Students are encouraged to utilize the library in conjunction with the topics andthemes they are exploring in their grade level classrooms. Lessons are designed tosupport grade level skills while allowing students to explore books that interest them.MathematicsKindergarten MathematicsThe Kindergarten Math block follows both the CCCS. Students use numbers, includingwritten numerals, to represent quantities and to solve quantitative problems, such ascounting objects in a set; counting out a given number of objects; comparing sets ornumerals; and modeling simple joining and separating situations with sets of object.Students choose, combine, and apply effective strategies for answering quantitativequestions, including quickly recognizing the cardinalities of small sets of objects,counting and producing sets of given sizes, counting the number of objects in combinedsets, or counting the number of objects that remain in a set after some are taken away.Students also describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation,spatial relations) and vocabulary. They identify, name, and describe basic twodimensional shapes, such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons,presented in a variety of ways (e.g., with different sizes and orientations), as well asthree-dimensional shapes such as cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres. They use basicshapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their environment and to construct morecomplex shapes.Grade 1 MathematicsThe Grade 1 Mathematics Program follows both the CCCS and NJCCS. In this course,Grade 1 students develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based ontheir prior work with small numbers. Students use a variety of models, including discreteobjects and length-based models, to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart,Page 11 of 86

Passaic Public SchoolsPrograms of Study 2016- - 2017and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction,and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these operations. Studentsunderstand connections between counting and addition and subtraction. They useproperties of addition to add whole numbers and to create and use increasinglysophisticated strategies based on these properties to solve addition and subtractionproblems within 20. By comparing a variety of solution strategies, children build theirunderstanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction. Students develop,discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to add within 100 andsubtract multiples of 10. They compare whole numbers (at least to 100) to developunderstanding of and solve problems involving their relative sizes. They think of wholenumbers between 10 and 100 in terms of tens and ones (especially recognizing thenumbers 11 to 19 as composed of a ten and some ones). Students compose anddecompose plane or solid figures and build understanding of part-whole relationships aswell as the properties of the original and composite shapes. The curriculum will berealigned to the newly adopted New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Mathematicsby September 2017. compose and decompose plane or solid figures and buildunderstanding of part-whole relationships as well as the properties of the original andcomposite shapes.Grade 2 MathematicsThe Grade 2 Mathematics program follows both the CCCS and NJCCS. In this coursestudents will extend their understanding of the base-ten system. This includes ideas ofcounting in fives, tens, and multiples of hundreds, tens, and ones, as well as numberrelationships involving these units, including comparing. Students understand multi-digitnumbers (up to 1000) written in base-ten notation, recognizing that the digits in eachplace represent amounts of thousands, hundreds, tens, or ones. Students will use theirunderstanding of addition to develop fluency with addition and subtraction within 100.They solve problems within 1000 by applying their understanding of models for additionand subtraction, and they develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizablemethods to compute sums and differences of whole numbers in base-ten notation, usingtheir understanding of place value and the properties of operations. They select andaccurately apply methods that are appropriate for the context and the numbers involved tomentally calculate sums and differences for numbers with only tens or only hundreds.Students recognize the need for standard units of measure (centimeter and inch) and theyuse rulers and other measurement tools with the understanding that linear measureinvolves an iteration of units. Students describe and analyze shapes by examining theirsides and angles. Students investigate, describe, and reason about decomposing andcombining shapes to make other shapes. Through building, drawing, and analyzing twoand three-dimensional shapes, students develop a foundation for understanding area,volume, congruence, similarity, and symmetry in later gradesPage 12 of 86

Passaic Public SchoolsPrograms of Study 2016- - 2017Grade 3 MathematicsThe Grade 3 Mathematics program follows both the CCCS and NJCCS. In this course,students develop an understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division ofwhole numbers through activities and problems involving equal-sized groups, arrays, andarea models. Students use properties of operations to calculate products of wholenumbers, using increasingly sophisticated strategies based on these properties to solvemultiplication and division problems involving single-digitfactors. By comparing a variety of solution strategies, students learn the relationshipbetween multiplication and division. Students develop an understanding of fractions,beginning with unit fractions. They solve problems that involve comparing fractions byusing visual fraction models and strategies based on noticing equalnumerators or den
