Communication and Collaboration

Data Analysis and Measurement

Inquiry-Based Approaches and Problem Solving

Applications and Modeling

Information and Digital Literacy

Collect and document evidence to share information with others in pictures, diagrams, or text.

Communicate the solution(s) of a problem/analysis either orally, visually, or in writing, which may include process steps, findings, or conclusions.

Identify roles and responsibilities to collaborate in various group settings (i.e., online, onsite and/or hybrid) and situations.

Apply measurements (e.g., time) defined in grade level content standards to analyze real-world scenarios.

Construct visual representations defined in grade level content standards (e.g., bar graphs) to determine patterns.

Evaluate reasonableness of observations, results, and solutions throughout processes.

Form observations, ask questions, plan and conduct investigations to answer questions or solve problems. 

Decompose a complex problem into smaller steps or sequences to evaluate (e.g., what should be done first, second) appropriate to grade-level content.

Determine one or more viable solutions using data and information to resolve a given scenario.

Apply modeling to represent physical or conceptual objects (e.g., plants, animals, base-ten blocks). 

Apply symbols and relationships (e.g., comparisons) to represent physical or conceptual objects (e.g., letters or numbers may represent objects).

Describe that systems have parts that work together to accomplish a goal (e.g., plant life cycle, computer hardware and software). 

Consider how technology can both serve as a tool and/or create the problem to be solved.

Review and compile information from multiple sources (with teacher support) to solve a problem. 

Share a piece of evidence with others visually, orally, or in writing. 

Communicate one or more steps in a process used to solve a problem either orally, visually, or in writing. 

Identify a certain role or match role to responsibility in various group settings.

Describe real-world scenarios using measurements.

Determine patterns in visual representations defined in grade level content connectors (e.g., pictograph).

Follow the steps in a simple process.

Form an observation about the world. Describe what is seen either visually, orally, or in writing. 

Identify the steps and their order, from the beginning to the end in a problem.

Select the viable solution using data or information to resolve a given scenario.

Apply modeling to represent physical or conceptual objects (e.g., plants, animals, base-ten blocks). 

Identify symbols and relationships (e.g., comparisons) that represent physical or simple conceptual objects to make comparisons (e.g., letters or numbers may represent objects). 

Describe the function of one part of a system encountered in everyday life that helps to accomplish a goal (e.g., a wheel on a car, a stem on a plant).

Identify one way technology can help people or one way it can cause a problem for people.

Review information from multiple sources (with teacher support) to answer a question or solve a problem.
