Predecessor Standards:

  • K.MD.B.3
    Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category (up to and including 10) and sort the categories by count.
  • 1.MD.C.4
    Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
  • PreK.PS.1.3
    Differentiate between the properties of an object and those of the material of which it is made.

Successor Standards:

  • SL.5.2
    Summarize a written text read aloud or information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally.
  • 5.PS.1.3
    Make observations and measurements of substances to describe characteristic properties of each, including color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility. Clarification Statements: Emphasis is on describing how each substance has a unique set of properties. Examples of substances could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. State Assessment Boundary: Density, distinguishing mass and weight, or specific tests or procedures are not expected in state assessment.

Same Level Standards:

  • 2.PS.1.2
    Test different materials and analyze the data obtained to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.Clarification Statements: Examples of properties could include, color, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency; Data should focus on qualitative and relative observations.
