spi—State Performance Indicator; These will be evaluated by TCAP. Emphasis on spi will help student to excel.

tpi—Teacher Performance Indicator; These should be taught concurrently with spi.

Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRT)—Criterion-referenced items measure a student’s performance according to specific standards, rather than to the performance of other test takers. These items are directly aligned with the State Content Standards and State Performance Indicators. See examples at:

percents (e.g., 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4); h. recognize relationships among commonly used fractions and decimals.

5.1.2 Understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another.a. use commutative, associative, and identity properties; b. explain and demonstrate the inverse nature of addition and subtraction; c. explain and demonstrate the inverse nature of multiplication and division; communicate the effects of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on size and order of numbers.

5.1.3 Solve problems, compute fluently, and make reasonable estimates. a. select appropriate methods and tools for computations (e.g., mental computation, estimation, calculators, paper and pencils)

b. explain why one from of a number might be more useful for computation than another form; recognize reasonable estimates for operations; c. add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers and decimals; use models, benchmarks, and equivalent forms to add and subtract commonly used fractions with like and unlike denominators. d. identify missing information and/or too much information in real-world problems; solve multi-step real-world problems; solve real-world problems using decimals, fractions, and percents.

The Blueprint for Learning is a companion document for the Tennessee Curriculum Standards which are located at www.tennessee.gov/education. Although the curriculum adopted by the State Board of Education in its entirety remains on the web for additional reference, this reformatted version makes the curriculum more accessible to classroom teachers.

Skills are coded and identified as Introduced (I), Developing (D), State CRT and Writing Assessed (A), and Mastered and Maintained (M).

•Introduced (I) skills are new skills presented at that grade level. Even though a skill is considered introduced at a grade level, some development would also occur. •Developing (D) skills are skills that have been introduced at a previous grade level. At this stage of development the skills are being refined and expanded. •Assessed (A) skills are those skills that are correlated to the state performance indicators for the CRT portion of the achievement test (grades 3-8) and the writing assessment (grades 5 and 8). The identified skills are formally assessed through the CRT; however, all skills are informally assessed in the classroom.

I= Introduced D=Developing A=State Assessed M=Mastered

(M) Skills are mastered or maintained. This indicates a skill that has been introduced, developed, and assessed. Even though a skill may be formally assessed, the development and expansion of the skill still continues.

Note: “A” Indicates the state curriculum assessment only (CRT).All skills marked “I” “D” “M” are assessed in the classroom.
