    Appendix A: M(N&O)23

    M(N&O)23Demonstrates conceptual understanding of mathematical operations involving addition and subtraction of whole

    numbers by solving problems involving joining actions, separating actions, part-part whole relationships, and comparison situations.(See Appendix A.)

    Classification of word problems: Researchers have identified four basic categories of addition andsubtraction problems: problems with joining actions, separating actions, part-part whole relationships, andcomparison situations. Table 1 contains some examples to illustrate the distinctions in the categoriesidentified by the researchers, but there may be additional ways to express the same actions, relationships, orsituations. For example, the following are additional ways to ask questions related to the Join StartUnknown category.

    Example 1: I am thinking of a number that when you add 5 to it, the answer is 13. What number am Ithinking of?Example 2: John puts a five-pound toy inside an empty wooden box. The box and toy together weigh 7pounds. How much does the empty box weigh?

    In summary, students should have experiences with problem solving in addition and subtraction across avariety of problem types.It is important to remember that any problem situation that fits the equations givenand the category can be asked, not just problems as stated in Table 1.

    Teaching students to add and subtract involves providing students with an opportunity to explore a rich setof problems with different semantic structures and to develop a variety of strategies to quantify, represent,calculate, express, and justify results. (Gutstein, E., Romberg, 1995)

    Appendix B: Measurement Benchmarks

    The following is a list of the measurement benchmarks and equivalences that can be usedinproblems across the content strands at each grade level to address the expectations in M(G&M)X7for the Tri-State New England Assessment2.

    M(G&M)X7Uses units of measures appropriately and consistently, and makes conversionswithin systems when solving problems across the content strands.

    The type of measure (e.g., length, time, etc.), the unit (e.g., inches, feet, etc.), the degree of accuracywhere appropriate (e.g., inch); and equivalences (e.g., 12 inches in a foot) are identified forgrades 2 8. In addition to measurement benchmarks identified below students will be expected touse the appropriate units when solving problems involving area, volume, surface area, conversions,and rates (e.g., miles per hour, price per pound, pounds per square inch) on the TSNE Assessment1.
