Algebra: Grade One

Assessment Title / Mathematical Idea Addressed / Learning Target / Descriptor
Odd and Even Numbers / Concept of odd and even numbers / Describe and extend repeating patterns, growing patterns, and relationships in tables and charts, including odd and even numbers. / 2) Explain how to determine if a whole number less than 20 is odd or even
How much is it worth? / Relationships / Describe and extend repeating patterns, growing patterns, and relationships in tables and charts, including odd and even numbers. / 1) Recognize, describe, and extend repeating and growing patterns, including attribute, numeric, and geometric patterns, and “What’s My Rule?” relationships in tables and charts.
True False Number Sentences / True false number sentences / Explain use of notation to show equality and model word problems, and solve simple open number sentences and true-false statements / 3) Demonstrate understanding that the equals sign means “the same as” by solving open number sentences (e.g., 3 + 2 = ❒+ 4; 5 = 1 + ❒); 3 + ❒ = 6) and true-false statements.
Growing Designs / Growing Patterns / Describe and extend repeating patterns, growing patterns, and relationships in tables and charts, including odd and even numbers. / 1) Recognize, describe, and extend repeating and growing patterns, including attribute, numeric, and geometric patterns, and “What’s My Rule?” relationships in tables and charts.
What’s Missing? / Number properties / Explain use of notation to show equality and model word problems, and solve simple open number sentences and true-false statements. / 5) Explain the zero property and solve problems such as 12 + ❒ = 12, ❒ + 12 = 12, 12 = ❒ + 12, 12 = 12 + ❒.
6) Demonstrate understanding of the commutative property by explaining that the answer to problems such as 3 + 4 is the same as the answer to 4 + 3 because changing the order of the numbers in an addition statement does not change the answer.
Name that rule / Relationships from a table / Describe and extend repeating patterns, growing patterns, and relationships in tables and charts, including odd and even numbers. / 1) Recognize, describe, and extend repeating and growing patterns, including attribute, numeric, and geometric patterns, and “What’s My Rule?” relationships in tables and charts.
Toy Cars / Zero property / Explain use of notation to show equality and model word problems, and solve simple open number sentences and true-false statements / 5) Explain the zero property and solve problems such as 12 + ❒ = 12, ❒ + 12 = 12, 12 = ❒ + 12, 12 = 12 + ❒.
What’s the Equation / Number sentences / Explain use of notation to show equality and model word problems, and solve simple open number sentences and true-false statements / 4) Write number sentences that match the structure of one-step word problems (e.g., write 5 + ❒ = 9 for a change unknown word problem
How many cards? / Properties of numbers / Explain use of notation to show equality and model word problems, and solve simple open number sentences and true-false statements / 6) Demonstrate understanding of the commutative property by explaining that the answer to problems such as 3 + 4 is the same as the answer to 4 + 3 because changing the order of the numbers in an addition statement does not change the answer.
Balancing Act / Variables and equalities / Explain use of notation to show equality and model word problems, and solve simple open number sentences and true-false statements / 3)Demonstrate understanding that the equals sign means “the same as” by solving open number sentences (e.g., 3 + 2 = ❒+ 4; 5 = 1 + ❒); 3 + ❒ = 6) and true-false statements.
