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.
