Michigan Curriculum Framework - Grade 3
(Matrix aligning strands and standards)
Inventory of "Big Ideas" (vital
Understandings) in mathematics with
Examples and Critical Objectives for K-8
This section provides
teachers with a checklist of
"Big Ideas" (vital
understandings) in
mathematics. These "Big
Ideas" are meant to
encompass the most essential
concepts and skills
addressed in the standards
and benchmarks of the
Michigan Curriculum
Framework. These are the
"Big Ideas" that children
cannot afford to be without,
if they are to be successful
in mathematics. The list is
intended to be "teacher
friendly" yet designed to
improve the intellectual
quality of student
performance.
