First Grade Learning Targets 2015­2016 REGIONAL SCHOOL UNIT #22 RSU #22 is committed to the optimal learning of all students. As RSU 22 continues to move towards meeting 2018 graduation expectations, we have elected to look at proficiency learning targets K­12. Rather than only the high school being responsible to report student proficiency, we have created some initial targets at each grade level. We know that some children may be able to meet standards beyond the targets listed at the grade level. We also know that some students will need more time to meet the expectations. Standards Scored on the Report Card: Counting and Cardinality ­Understands greater than, less than, or equal to for objects using terms and symbols (<, >, =). Operations and Algebraic Thinking ­ Write or draw addition facts to 10 in more than one way (2+3=5, 4+1=5) ­Knows addition facts 0 ­ 20. Number and Operations in Base Ten ­Understands the concept of place value (tens and ones place) for numbers 11 to 19. ­Understands that a whole is made up of parts. ­Understand what the digits of a two digit number (20­99) represent (tens and ones place). Measurement and Data ­Understands that time to the hour and half­hour on an analog clock ­Understands the value of a collection of like coins Geometry All content at this standard is at an introductory level.
