Featured in the margin, Standards are grouped by grade levels (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8) and appear at the beginning of each lesson. Domain and cluster statements indicate the area of the Common Core State Standards that pertain to the lesson.
Learning Objectives appear at the beginning of each lesson and identify the concepts taught in the lesson.
Real-Life Examples show the math concepts in a real-life situation and are indicated by the green example head graphic.
Modeling Examples show how to use manipulatives, fraction strips, number line models, area models, set models, and so on, to model math concepts in the classroom. These are indicated by the orange example head graphic.
