Math Learning Targets

Essential Skills : These skills are the main curricular focus of the grade. Substantial instructional time is spent to ensure all students are proficient.  Multiple assessments and interventions may be required and are appropriate.

Important Skills: These skills support or extend essential skills. Significant instruction time is spent to ensure understanding.  Student learning is assessed; however, not as much emphasis is placed on intervention.  

Supporting Skills: These skills are introduced and integrated during the grade and are best taught through spaced practice. Limited assessments and interventions occur for these skills.
