Hi!

Could you please take each of the following gradeschool math
curriculum websites and translate the goal into an example.

For example, the second goal on the kindergarten site states:
"Identify and name penny, nickel and dime.  (2.1.3.E)". The example
could be to "Give the students various coins and have the student name
them" or "Have student determine which coin is worth 5 cents when
given a penny, nickle, and dime".

Another example from the 8th grade curriculum: "Identify, name, draw,
and list all properties of various two-dimensional and
three-dimensional shapes.  (2.9.8.D)". Example: "Give the student
paper with one column of shapes and one column of geometric names and
have the students determine which name belongs to which shape".

I am having difficulty determining exactly what a few of the goals
mean, so obviously I jsut used to reletively easy examples.

The websites are:

1
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_1.htm

2
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_2.htm

3
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_3.htm

4
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_4.htm

5
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_5.htm

6
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_6.htm

7
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_7.htm

8
http://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/curri/Math/math_8.htm

So, basically what I'm asking is for you to look at each of the
criteria in each of the websites and give an example simplifing the
criteria. I need to understand the criteria so please treat it as if
you were giving the example to the person the grade level was written
for.

Also, please follow the following format when citing the example:

K, 1:

The above would signify that you were giving an example for the
Kindergarten curriculum criteria 1 ("Divide a set of objects into
equal parts using terms whole, part, and 1/2.  Use
drawings/diagrams/models to show the concept of 1/2 as part of a
whole.  (2.1.3.B(D))")

Thanks a lot

Joe

Hello conshyboy-ga,

I'm not sure I understand the scope of your question. I've looked at
the links you've listed and each grade level shows 20-30 requirements
statements. Are you asking for an example of an activity for each of
these? I look forward to your clarification.

Yes.

For example--

Kindergarten has 25 bullet points. I am asking that a researcher do
the following for each of these bullet points:

a. Redefine into easy to understand language (if necessary)

b. Give an example of the problem in context (e.g. which of these
coins is equal to 5 cents)

Thanks for your intrest. Hopes this helps, and feel free to ask for
additional clarification!

Joe

^ The example in context could in fact be in the form of an activity

Hello again conshyboy-ga,

Yes. That's what I thought you meant. You would like 250+ items for
$10 which would yield $7.50 to the researcher. I suggest that you take
a look at the Google Answers Pricing guidelines to maximize the chance
of getting an answer to your question.

Hi again!

I completly understand that $10.00 (or $15.00 even) is a minimal
amount for the work this would take. The most I can raise it to is
$15.00, and that is only because I am authorizing this payment through
a non profit community center and even paying $15.00 is out of our
budget. I appreciate what you are saying about raising the price, but
I am going to have to leave the question at $15.00 and hope that
someone will answer it.

Joe
