MATH 14
The largest single-year gain on the scale.
Meridian Note
The largest single-year gain on the scale (+13). Multiplication enters at KS-1–3 via arrays and skip counting; partitioning shapes plants fractions at KS-1–2. Addition/subtraction facts must exit this year at KS-5 — verified by unannounced retest after winter break, not by the Friday quiz.

Skills of This Course
Every skill is pinned to the meridian by fix notation — where along the scale, and at what depth. The highlighted state is this course's target: the state an honest instrument must certify before the skill counts as covered here.

Course of Instruction
Units
Unit 1.Hundreds, Tens, and Ones
8 practice itemsThis year, numbers get BIG — all the way to 1000! Do not worry. Big numbers are built the same way small numbers are: with bundles. Last year you bundled ones into tens. This year you bundle tens into hundreds. Once you see how the bundles work, a number like 347 is as easy to read as 7.

Unit 2.Fact Power: Keep Your Facts Forever
11 practice itemsLast year you learned your addition facts. This year they must become FAST and stay forever. Why? Because every big problem you meet this year is built out of little facts. When your facts are quick, big problems feel easy. When they are slow, big problems feel like carrying rocks. This unit sharpens your tools.

Unit 3.Adding and Subtracting to 1000
9 practice itemsNow your fast facts go to work on big numbers. Here is the wonderful part: adding 356 + 237 uses the SAME little facts you already know — you just work one place at a time. The only new skill is trading: swapping ten ones for a ten, or opening a ten back into ones. Trading is fair, and this unit shows you why.

Unit 4.Meet Multiplication
7 practice itemsHere is a sneak peek at the biggest idea of next year: multiplication. Multiplication is the fast way to count **equal groups** — groups that are all the same size. You will not memorize times tables yet. This year your job is just to SEE equal groups everywhere: in rows of chairs, cartons of eggs, and packs of stickers.

Unit 5.Measure It, Graph It
8 practice itemsLast year you measured things with paper clips. This year you get real measuring tools — centimeters, meters, inches, and feet — the same units scientists and builders use. Then you will learn to collect numbers and show them in graphs, so anyone can see the story of your data in one look.

Unit 6.Fair Shares: Halves, Thirds, Fourths
6 practice itemsHow do you share one cookie fairly between two friends? Cut it into equal parts! This unit is about cutting shapes into fair shares — halves, thirds, and fourths. It feels like play, but you are planting a seed. Next year, these fair shares grow into fractions, one of the biggest ideas in all of math.
