Standards for
Mathematical Practice
32. (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A1-2) Draw and identify lines
and angles, and classify shapes by
properties of their lines and angles.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.1
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute,
obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in
two-dimensional figures.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.2
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or
absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or
absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right
triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
36. (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A1-2) Develop
understanding of fractions as numbers.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.1
Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part
when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a
fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.2
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line;
represent fractions on a number line diagram.
