Poem of the Week, Oct 22 2012

Leaf Blankets

Leaves are falling, soft as snowflakes,

Red and yellow, gold and brown;

The breeze laughs gaily in the treetops,

Shaking all the color down.

Leaves are covering the gardens

As my blanket covers me.

When cold winter comes, the flowers

Will be warm as warm can be.

Catch a Little Rhyme

By Eve Merriam

Once upon a time

I caught a little rhyme

I set it on the floor

but it ran right out the door

I chased it on my bicycle

but it melted to an icicle

I scooped it up in my hat

but it turned into a cat

I caught it by the tail

but it stretched into a whale

I followed it in a boat

but it changed into a goat

When I fed it tin and paper

it became a tall skyscraper

Then it grew into a kite

and flew far out of sight ...

Math Pacing Guide - Unit 1

September 4 – October 16 (27 sessions with 2 extra days)
Standards:
1.OA.1    Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. (See Table 1 at the end of this Pacing Guide)
Scope of Standard:
●    The 2011 Massachusetts Math Framework Grade 1 standards focus on addition and subtraction within 20 and require using a symbol for an unknown number in an equation. Use the addition symbol (+) to represent joining situations, the subtraction symbol (–) to represent separating situations, and the equal sign (=) to represent a relationship regarding quantity between one side of the equation and the other.
●    A helpful strategy is for students to recognize sets of objects in common patterned arrangements (0-6) to tell how many without counting (subitizing).
●    Contextual problems that are closely connected to students’ lives should be used to develop fluency with addition and subtraction. It is important to attend to the difficulty level of the problem situations in relation to the position of the unknown: Result Unknown, Total Unknown, and Both Addends Unknown problems are the least complex for students. The next level of difficulty includes Change Unknown, Addend Unknown, and Difference Unknown. The most difficult are Start Unknown and versions of Bigger and Smaller Unknown (compare problems).
●    Students will be expected to solve all types of story problems (including subtraction story problems) by the end of the year.
Unit Considerations:
●    This unit focuses primarily on addition story problems and missing addend problems.
1.OA.6    Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use mental strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows
12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the
known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Scope of Standard:
●    The 2011 Massachusetts Math Framework Grade 1 standards require addition and subtraction within 20 with fluency within 10 and identify multiple strategies. Students are required to have automaticity of number facts in Grade 2.
●    This standard focuses on students being able to fluently add and subtract numbers to 10 and having experiences adding and subtracting within 20. By studying patterns and relationships in addition facts and relating addition and subtraction, students build a foundation for fluency with addition and subtraction facts. Fluency refers to knowledge of procedures, knowledge of when and how to use them appropriately, and skill in performing them flexibly, accurately, and efficiently.
Unit Considerations:
●    Students are not expected to demonstrate fluency for addition or subtraction within 20 in this unit.
