In grades 3-5 all students should
- NM-ALG.3-5.1: Understand patterns, relations, and functions
- NM-ALG.3-5.2: Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols
- NM-ALG.3-5.3: Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships
- NM-ALG.3-5.4: Analyze change in various contexts
|
Understand patterns, relations, and functions
- describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric patterns;
- represent and analyze patterns and functions, using words, tables, and graphs.

Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols
- identify such properties as commutativity, associativity, and distributivity and use them to compute with whole numbers;
- represent the idea of a variable as an unknown quantity using a letter or a symbol;
- express mathematical relationships using equations.

Use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships
- model problem situations with objects and use representations such as graphs, tables, and equations to draw conclusions.

Analyze change in various contexts
- investigate how a change in one variable relates to a change in a second variable;
- identify and describe situations with constant or varying rates of change and compare them.
