The Data Analysis Unit involves collecting and organizing information to make it useful for answering questions such as—

The Fraction Unit involves an introduction to fractions as equal parts of a whole in order to answer questions such as:

The Geometry Unit involves analyzing attributes of two-dimensional shapes in order to answer questions such as:

The Algebraic Reasoning Unit involves understanding that the unknown can be any one of the three or four terms in an equation. Questions to answer may include:

• If I know the starting number and the change, how can I find the result? Such as: 2 + 4 = 

• IfIf I know the starting number and the result, how can I find the change? Such as: 7 = 3 + 

• IfIf I know the change and the result, how can I find the starting number?
  Such as:  - 3 = 5

The Equivalence Unit involves understanding the meaning of the equal sign in order to answer questions such as:

The Money Unit involves using skip counting to determine the value of a collection of coins in order to answer questions such as:

The Strategies for Addition and Subtraction Unit involves understanding the processes of addition and subtraction in order to solve problems and answer questions such as—

• If we know all of the parts, how can we find the whole?

• If we know the whole and one of the parts, how can we find the missing part?

• Given an equation, can you create an addition or subtraction situation to match it? How can you prove it matches the equation?

The Composing and Decomposing Numbers Unit involves conceptualizing whole numbers in terms of parts which builds flexible thinking, number sense and the foundation for addition and subtraction. Questions to answer might include—

• How many different ways can you show ten in two parts?

• What if zero can be one of the parts?

• How will you know when you have found all the ways?

The Comparing Numbers Unit involves understanding the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers, and their relationships within the numeration system. Students will answer questions such as—

• Which group has more? Less?

• Do any groups have the same number? How do you know?

• How can you make this group less than this group?

• How does a number line show which number is less or which number is more?

The Number Patterns Unit involves understanding the relationship between numbers and will enable students to answer questions such as:
