Standard M:2
Relative magnitude of number;
ordering and comparing.
Introduction
Standard M:2 refers to
the relative magnitude of numbers in the context of counting and comparing
with whole, fractions and decimals
within the the Base 10 system
of notation.
Kindergarten
MK: 2 Demonstrates
understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers from 0 to 50 by ordering
whole numbers; by demonstrating one-one
correspondence; and by showing the relationship between whole numbers (1
more, 1 less).
Apply number parameters consistent with MK:
1.
First grade
M1: 2 Demonstrates
understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers from 0 to 100 by
ordering whole numbers; by comparing whole
numbers to each other or to benchmark numbers (10, 25, 50); by
showing the relationship between whole numbers (1 more, 1 less;
10 more, 10 less); or by connecting number words
and numerals to the quantities they represent using models,
representations, or
number lines. Apply number parameters
consistent with M1: 1.
Second Grade
M2: 2 Demonstrates
understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers from 0 to 199 by
ordering whole numbers; by comparing whole
numbers to each other or to benchmark whole numbers (10, 25, 50,
75,100, 125,150, or 175); by
demonstrating an understanding
of the relation of inequality when comparing whole
numbers by using 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less, 100 more, or
100
less; or by connecting number words and numerals to the quantities
they represent using models, number lines, or explanations.
M(N&O)22
Third Grade
M3: 2 Demonstrates
understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers from 0 to 999 by
ordering whole numbers; by comparing whole
numbers to benchmark whole numbers (100, 250, 500, 750); or by
comparing whole numbers to each other; and comparing or
identifying equivalent positive fractional numbers (a/2,
a/3, a/4 where a is a whole number greater than 0
and less than or equal to
the denominator) using models, number lines, or explanations. M(N&O)32
Fourth Grade
M4: 2 Demonstrates
understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers from 0 to 999,999
by ordering or comparing whole numbers; and
ordering, comparing, or identifying equivalent proper
positive fractional
numbers; or decimals using
models, number lines, or
explanations. M(N&O)42
Fifth Grade
M5: 2 Demonstrates
understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers by ordering, comparing,
or identifying equivalent positive fractional
numbers, decimals, or benchmark percents within number formats
(fractions to fractions,
decimals to decimals, or percents to
percents);
or integers in context using models or number lines. M(N&O)52
Sixth Grade
M6: 2 Demonstrates understanding of the
relative magnitude of numbers by
ordering or comparing numbers with whole-number bases and whole-
number exponents
(e.g., 33, 43), integers, or rational numbers
within and across number formats (fractions, decimals, or whole-number
percents from 1 to
100) using number lines or equality and inequality symbols. M(N&O)62
Seventh Grade
M7: 2 Demonstrates understanding of the
relative magnitude of numbers by
ordering, comparing, or identifying equivalent rational numbers across
number formats,
numbers with whole-number bases and whole-number exponents (e.g., 33,
43), integers, absolute values, or numbers
represented in
scientific notation using number lines or equality and inequality
symbols. M(N&O)72
Eighth Grade
M8: 2 Demonstrates understanding of the
relative magnitude of numbers by
ordering or comparing rational numbers, common irrational numbers
(√2,
and π),
numbers with whole-number or fractional bases and whole-number
exponents, square roots, absolute values, integers, or numbers
represented in scientific
notation using number lines or equality and inequality symbols.
