Number Sense, Concepts, Operations, and Estimation Standards
Standard 1: The student understands the different ways numbers are
represented and used in the
real world.
Standard 2: The student understands number systems.
Standard 3: The student understands the effects of operations on
numbers
and the relationships
among these operations, selects appropriate operations, and computes for
problem solving.
Standard 4: The student uses estimation in problem solving and
computation.
Standard 5: The student understands and applies theories related to
numbers .
Grades PreK-2
- associates verbal names, written word names, and standard numerals
with the whole numbers
less than 1000.

and relates these
numbers to real-world situations.
- understands that whole numbers can be represented in a variety of
equivalent forms.
Grades 3 - 5
- names whole numbers combining 3-digit numeration (hundreds, tens,
ones) and the use of
number periods, such as ones, thousands, and millions and associates
verbal names, written
word names, and standard numerals with whole numbers, commonly used
fractions, decimals,
and percents.

and place value
strategies to demonstrate an understanding of the whole number
system.
Grades 3 - 5
- uses place-value concepts of grouping based upon powers of ten
(thousandths, hundredths,
tenths, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) within the decimal number
system.
- recognizes and compares the decimal number system to the structure of
other number systems
such as the Roman numeral system or bases other than ten.
Grades 6 - 8
- understands and uses exponential and scientific notation.
- understands the structure of number systems other than the decimal
number system.
