Standard  M:20 Change and Growth

Introduction: 

Standard M:20 focuses on the conceptual development of the concept of change and linear relationships as an example of a constant rate of change.

Kindergarten

MK: 20   Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of change qualitatively (growth—student growing taller).

First Grade

M1: 20  Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of linear relationships (y = kx) as a constant rate of change qualitatively (growth—student  growing taller) and quantitatively (measurable growth—2 inches
each year).

Second Grade

M2: 20 Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of linear relationships (y = kx) as a constant rate of change  qualitatively (growth—student growing taller) and quantitatively (measurable growth—2 inches each year) change.

Third grade

M3: 20 Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of linear relationships (y = kx) as a constant rate of change by identifying, describing, or comparing situations that represent constant rates of change.

Fourth Grade

M4: 20 Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of linear relationships (y = kx) as a constant rate of change by identifying, describing, or comparing situations that represent constant rates of change.

Fifth grade

M5: 20 Demonstrates a conceptual understanding of linear relationships (y = kx) as a constant rate of change by identifying, describing, or comparing situations that represent constant rates of change.
