Curriculum Game

In the Iowa Core Math standards focus on three main shifts, one being the shift of procedural skill and fluency. What standard would best fit this shift?

• 1.NBT.A.1 Count forward and backward starting with any given number within the range of 0–120, In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.

• 1.NBT.B.3 Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, using phrases as greater than, less than or equal to, connecting to the use of >, =, and < symbols.

• 1.OA.A.2 Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20. For example, by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

• 1.OA.D.8 Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating to three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + □ = 11, 5 = □ - 3, 6 + 6 = □

The Iowa Core Literacy standards have DOK levels for both reading and writing standards. Which DOK level fits best with this writing standard? Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories. (W.3.8)

• (DOK 2,4)

• (DOK 2)

• (DOK 1,2)

• (DOK 3)

According to the Iowa core science standard 2.PS1-1 second graders should be able to conduct and investigation and classify different materials by their observable features. Which is the best instructions strategy for this standard?

• Students should take a test on different properties an object might have

• Let the students choose 4-5 objects around the room and make observations about each of them while documenting their finds on a worksheet

• Students should be given an online lab where they are supposed to answer questions about different objects

• Students should sit in their seats while the teacher shows objects to them.

According to the Iowa Core Social Studies standards, each main standard has three content anchor standards with them. Which content anchor standard does this geography standard go to? SS.2.18. Describe how the choices people make impact local and distant environments.

• Create Geographic Representations

• Evaluate Human Environment Interaction

• Analyze Human Population Movements and Patterns

According to Iowa Core Mathematics Standard 3.OA.A.3, students should be able to use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities. Which of the following instructional strategies best aligns with this standard?

• Providing students with word problems that require them to model and solve using visual representations such as arrays and equal groups.

• Encouraging students to memorize multiplication facts without applying them to real-world contexts.

• Asking students to use only one method for solving multiplication and division problems to promote consistency.

• Focusing solely on multiple-choice assessments rather than having students create and explain their own word problems.

The Iowa Core Science Standard MS-PS1-4 requires middle school students to develop a model that predicts and describes changes in substances when a chemical reaction occurs. How should a teacher best implement this standard in a classroom?

• Conducting hands-on experiments where students observe and model the conservation of mass in a closed system.

• Providing students with a list of chemical equations to memorize without any hands-on experience.

• Focusing only on definitions of chemical properties rather than modeling changes in substances.

• Asking students to research chemical reactions without engaging in inquiry-based learning.

The Iowa Core Literacy Standards emphasize the importance of text complexity. According to these standards, how should teachers ensure that students develop strong reading comprehension skills?

• Assigning students texts that match their current reading levels without increasing complexity over time.

• Providing students with texts that gradually increase in complexity to challenge their comprehension skills.

• Allowing students to choose texts based solely on their interests, regardless of complexity.

• Focusing on reading speed rather than comprehension to improve literacy skills.

According to the Iowa Core Math Standards, what is the primary focus of mathematical learning for students in grades 3-5?

• Mastering basic addition and subtraction facts

• Developing a deep understanding of fractions and multi-digit operations

• Memorizing all prime numbers up to 1,000

• Learning advanced algebraic equations and geometric proofs

Which classroom activity best supports the standard RL.K.6, which encourages students to identify the author and illustrator of a story and explain their roles?

• Engaging students in a read-aloud where they identify the author and illustrator and discuss how their roles contribute to the story

• Having students silently read a book without discussing the author or illustrator.

• Allowing students to guess the author and illustrator without guidance or correction.

• Encouraging students to focus only on the illustrations and ignore the written story.

The Iowa Core Employability Skills Standard 21.9-12.ES.1 emphasizes that students should demonstrate communication skills that contribute to positive workplace relationships. Which classroom activity best supports this standard?

• Requiring students to complete individual worksheets on workplace communication theories without applying them.

• Engaging students in structured collaborative group projects where they must practice clear communication and active listening.

• Allowing students to communicate in any manner they choose without feedback or structured practice.

• Encouraging students to focus only on written communication rather than developing verbal and nonverbal skills.
