IB Mission Statement  

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.   To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.   These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. 

  

  

  

Korea Foreign School Mission Statement  

 Korea Foreign School enables students to achieve academic excellence while being encouraged to be global leaders who promote global peace through equity, innovation, diversity, integrity, community, care for the environment and self-respect.

Rationale  

The purpose of this document is provide an overview of the scope and sequences we use to guide our teaching and learning at KFS.  

 

Scope and Sequence Structure 

The KFS Scope and Sequence is organized with the following structure:   The KFS Scope and sequence documents mirror a similar organizational structure to that of the IBPYP Scope and Sequence documents.  

Strand names, descriptions, conceptual understandings, and related concepts are chosen from the applicable PYP scope and sequence documents for that subject, with the exception of the ELL Speaking and Listening descriptions, which are take from the ACFTL documents.  

Objectives and criteria from the Common Core, AERO, NGSS, PYP, and ACTFL were measured against PYP Scope and Sequence documents and placed into appropriate strands to create a clear framework for building conceptual understanding within the curriculum.  

 

Objectives and Performance Criteria Overview  

Korea Foreign School utilizes standards and benchmarks from the following educational organizations as a guide to planning, teaching, and assessing in order to provide a vertically aligned curriculum that provides our students with a rich conceptually based curriculum.  

Literacy & Math: The Common Core State Standards 

“The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. The standards were created to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live.  

2

Page 4: Scope and Sequence 2018-2019 The primary purpose of ... · The KFS Scope and sequence documents mirror a similar organizational structure to that of the IBPYP Scope and Sequence documents

The Common Core is informed by the highest, most effective standards from states across the United States and countries around the world. The standards define the knowledge and skills students should gain throughout their K-12 education in order to graduate high school prepared to succeed in entry-level careers, introductory academic college courses, and workforce training programs” (About). 

Science: The Next Generation Science Standards 

“The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are K–12 science content standards [which] set the expectations for what students should know and be able to do. A high-quality science education means that students will develop an in-depth understanding of content and develop key skills—communication, collaboration, inquiry, problem solving, and flexibility—that will serve them throughout their educational and professional lives. The NGSS were developed by states to improve science education for all students. These standards give local educators the flexibility to design classroom learning experiences that stimulate students’ interests in science and prepares them for college, careers, and citizenship” (Next Generation). 

 Social Studies: American Education Reaches Out (AERO) Common Core Plus  

“AERO is a project supported by the U.S. State Department’s Office of Overseas Schools (A/OPR/OS) and the Overseas Schools Advisory Council to assist schools in developing and implementing standards-based curricula. AERO provides a framework for curriculum consistency across grades K-12 and for stability of curriculum in overseas schools. This effort is in alignment with research-based trends in the development of curriculum worldwide” (About AERO).  “The following guidance on unit development is intended to assist teachers in developing rich units that help students understand both the concepts in the AERO Social Studies standards and benchmarks and the specific cultural/anthropological, economic, geographic, historical, political, and sociological content from different historical periods and global regions” (AERO). 

 International Baccalaureate Scope and Sequence     

Arts 

“Arts engage students in creative processes through which they explore and experiment in a continual cycle of action and reflection. Such creative processes are seen by the PYP as the driving force in learning through inquiry. From an early age, students have the opportunity to develop genuine interests, to give careful consideration to their work and to become self-critical and reflective. Reflecting on and evaluating their own work and the work of others is vital, and empowers students to take intellectual risks. Exposure to and experience with arts opens doors to questions about life and learning. The process of making and appreciating arts is gratifying and will encourage students to continue creating throughout their lives. Two common strands have been identified that apply across the different art forms and define the critical artistic processes. These intrinsically connected strands are concept-driven and have been designed to interact with each other, working together to support the overall development of the students” (Arts).

PSPE 

“Physical education in a PYP school should be more than just student participation in sports and games. Its purpose should be to develop a combination of transferable skills promoting physical, intellectual, emotional and social development; to encourage present and future choices that contribute to long-term healthy living; and to understand the cultural significance of physical activities for individuals and communities. Therefore, in the PYP, there should be specific opportunities for learning about movement and through movement in a range of contexts. 

 In this document, the development of overall well-being is defined through three common strands that have relevance to all teachers: identity, active living and interactions. These strands are concept driven and have been designed to interact with each other, working together to support the overall development of students” (Personal).  Language Acquisition  “The ability to communicate in a variety of modes in more than one language is essential to the concept of an international education that promotes multilingualism and intercultural understanding, both of which are central to the IB’s mission.[...] To assist in achieving these broader goals, this guide provides both teachers and students with clear aims and objectives for language acquisition” (Language). 

 English Language Learning: American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages 

“The 2017 NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements, the result of collaboration between the National Council of State Supervisors for Languages (NCSSFL) and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guide: 

● Language learners to identify and set learning goals and chart their progress towards language and intercultural proficiency; 

● Educators to write communication learning targets for curriculum, unit and lesson plans; ● Stakeholders to clarify how well learners at different stages can communicate” 

(NCSSFL-ACTFL).

Grade One Literacy Scope and Sequence 

Oral Language Viewing and Presenting Written Language: Writing

Oral language encompasses all aspects of 

listening and speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language development, for learning 

and for relating to others. Listening requires 

active and conscious attention in order to make 

sense of what is heard. Purposeful talk enables 

learners to articulate thoughts as they construct 

and reconstruct meaning to understand the 

world around them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain types of language 

according to the audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) and expressive 

processes (presenting) are connected and allow 

for reciprocal growth in understanding; neither 

process has meaning except in relation to the 

other. These processes involve interpreting, 

using and constructing visuals and multimedia in 

a variety of situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual texts may be 

paper, electronic or live, observable forms of 

communication that are consciously constructed 

to convey meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant access to data. 

Learning to interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different media, are 

invaluable life skills. 

Writing allows us to organize and communicate 

thoughts, ideas and information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily concerned with 

communicating meaning and intention. Over 

time, writing involves developing a variety of 

structures, strategies and literary techniques 

(spelling, grammar, plot, character, punctuation, 

voice) and applying them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.   

Conceptual Understandings 

People listen and speak to share thoughts and 

feelings. 

People ask questions to learn from others. 

Everyone has the right to speak and be listened 

to. 

Conceptual Understandings 

The pictures, images, and symbols in our 

environment have meaning. 

We can enjoy and learn from visual language.

Grade One Math Scope and Sequence  Data Handling   Measurement   Shape and Space   Pattern and Function  Number 

Data handling allows us to 

make a summary of what we 

know about the world and to 

make inferences about what 

we do not know.  

● Data can be collected, 

organized, represented and 

summarized in a variety of 

ways to highlight similarities, 

differences and trends; the 

chosen format should 

illustrate the information 

without bias or distortion. 

● Probability can be 

expressed qualitatively by 

using terms such as 

“unlikely”, “certain” or 

“impossible”. It can be 

expressed quantitatively on 

a numerical scale.  

To measure is to attach a 

number to a quantity using a 

chosen unit. Since the 

attributes being measured 

are continuous, ways must 

be found to deal with 

quantities that fall between 

numbers. It is important to 

know how accurate a 

measurement needs to be 

or can ever be.  

 

The regions, paths and 

boundaries of natural space 

can be described by shape. 

An understanding of the 

interrelationships of shape 

allows us to interpret, 

understand and appreciate 

our two-dimensional (2D) 

and three-dimensional (3D) 

world.  

 

To identify pattern is to 

begin to understand how 

mathematics applies to the 

world in which we live. The 

repetitive features of 

patterns can be identified 

and described as 

generalized rules called 

“functions”. This builds a 

foundation for the later 

study of algebra.  

 

Our number system is a 

language for describing 

quantities and the 

relationships between 

quantities. For example, the 

value attributed to a digit 

depends on its place within 

a base system. 

 

Numbers are used to 

interpret information, make 

decisions and solve 

problems. For example, the 

operations of addition, 

subtraction, multiplication 

and division are related to 

one another and are used to 

process information in order 

to solve problems. The 

degree of precision needed 

in calculating depends on 

how the result will be used.  

Conceptual Understandings  

Information can be 

expressed as organized and 

structured data. 

Objects and events can be 

organized in different ways. 

 

Conceptual Understandings 

Standard units allow us to 

have a common language to 

identify, compare, order, 

and sequence objects and 

events  

We use tools to measure the 

attributes of objects and 

events 

Conceptual Understandings 

Shapes can be described 

and organized according to 

their properties 

Some shapes are made up 

of parts that repeat in some 

way  

Specific vocabulary can be 

used to describe an object’s 

position in space 

Conceptual Understandings 

Whole numbers exhibit 

patterns and relationships 

that can be observed and 

described. 

Patterns can be represented 

using numbers and other 

symbols. 

Conceptual Understandings 

The base 10 place value 

system is used to represent 

numbers and number 

relationships 

The operations of addition, 

subtraction, multiplication 

and division are related to 

each other and are used to 

process information to solve 

problems

Estimation allows us to 

measure with different 

levels of accuracy.  

Events can be ordered and 

sequenced 

  Number operations can be 

modelled in a variety of 

ways. 

There are many mental 

methods that can be applied 

for exact and approximate 

computations.

Oral Language Viewing and Presenting Written Language: Reading Written Language: Writing

Oral language encompasses all 

aspects of listening and 

speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language development, 

for learning and for relating to 

others. Listening requires active and 

conscious attention in order to 

make sense of what is heard. 

Purposeful talk enables learners to 

articulate thoughts as they 

construct and reconstruct meaning 

to understand the world around 

them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain types 

of language according to the 

audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) 

and expressive processes 

(presenting) are connected and 

allow for reciprocal growth in 

understanding; neither process has 

meaning except in relation to the 

other. These processes involve 

interpreting, using and constructing 

visuals and multimedia in a variety 

of situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual 

texts may be paper, electronic or 

live, observable forms of 

communication that are consciously 

constructed to convey meaning and 

immediately engage viewers, 

allowing them instant access to 

data. Learning to interpret this data, 

and to understand and use different 

media, are invaluable life skills. 

Reading is a developmental process 

that involves constructing meaning 

from text. The process is interactive 

and involves the reader’s purpose 

for reading, the reader’s prior 

knowledge and experience, and the 

text itself. 

 

As inquirers, learners need to be 

able to identify, synthesize and 

apply useful and relevant 

information from text. 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing allows us to organize and 

communicate thoughts, ideas and 

information in a visible and tangible 

way. Writing is primarily concerned 

with communicating meaning and 

intention. Over time, writing 

involves developing a variety of 

structures, strategies and literary 

techniques (spelling, grammar, plot, 

character, punctuation, voice) and 

applying them with increasing skill 

and effectiveness.

  Creating  Responding 

  The process of creating provides students with opportunities to communicate 

distinctive forms of meaning, develop their technical skills, take creative risks, 

solve problems and visualize consequences. Students are encouraged to 

draw on their imagination, experiences and knowledge of materials and 

processes as starting points for creative exploration. They can make 

connections between their work and that of other artists to inform their 

thinking and to provide inspiration. Both independently and collaboratively, 

students participate in creative processes through which they can 

communicate ideas and express feelings. The creating strand provides 

opportunities for students to explore their personal interests, beliefs and 

values and to engage in a personal artistic journey. 

The process of responding provides students with opportunities to respond to 

their own and other artists’ works and processes, and in so doing develop the 

skills of critical analysis, interpretation, evaluation, reflection and 

communication. Students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of 

the concepts, methods and elements of dance, drama, music and visual arts, 

including using specialized language. Students consider their own and other 

artists’ works in context and from different perspectives in order to construct 

meaning and inform their own future works and processes.

Grade Two Math Scope and Sequence  Data Handling   Measurement   Shape and Space   Pattern and Function  Number 

Data handling allows us to 

make a summary of what we 

know about the world and to 

make inferences about what 

we do not know.  

● Data can be collected, 

organized, represented and 

summarized in a variety of 

ways to highlight similarities, 

differences and trends; the 

chosen format should 

illustrate the information 

without bias or distortion. 

● Probability can be 

expressed qualitatively by 

using terms such as 

“unlikely”, “certain” or 

“impossible”. It can be 

expressed quantitatively on 

a numerical scale.  

To measure is to attach a 

number to a quantity using a 

chosen unit. Since the 

attributes being measured 

are continuous, ways must 

be found to deal with 

quantities that fall between 

numbers. It is important to 

know how accurate a 

measurement needs to be 

or can ever be.  

 

The regions, paths and 

boundaries of natural space 

can be described by shape. 

An understanding of the 

interrelationships of shape 

allows us to interpret, 

understand and appreciate 

our two-dimensional (2D) 

and three-dimensional (3D) 

world.  

 

To identify pattern is to 

begin to understand how 

mathematics applies to the 

world in which we live. The 

repetitive features of 

patterns can be identified 

and described as 

generalized rules called 

“functions”. This builds a 

foundation for the later 

study of algebra.  

 

Our number system is a 

language for describing 

quantities and the 

relationships between 

quantities. For example, the 

value attributed to a digit 

depends on its place within 

a base system. 

 

Numbers are used to 

interpret information, make 

decisions and solve 

problems. For example, the 

operations of addition, 

subtraction, multiplication 

and division are related to 

one another and are used to 

process information in order 

to solve problems. The 

degree of precision needed 

in calculating depends on 

how the result will be used.  

Conceptual Understandings  

Information can be 

expressed as organized and 

structured data. 

Objects and events can be 

organized in different ways. 

 

Conceptual Understandings 

Standard units allow us to 

have a common language to 

identify, compare, order, 

and sequence objects and 

events. 

We use tools to measure the 

attributes of objects and 

events. 

Conceptual Understandings 

Shapes are classified and 

named according to their 

properties. 

Some shapes are made up 

of parts that repeat in some 

way. 

Geometric shapes and 

vocabulary are useful for 

representing and describing 

Conceptual Understandings 

Whole numbers exhibit 

patterns and relationships 

that can be observed and 

described. 

Patterns can be represented 

using numbers and other 

symbols. 

Conceptual Understandings 

The base 10 place value 

system is used to represent 

numbers and number 

relationships. 

Fractions are ways of 

representing whole-part 

relationships.

Grade Two Language Acquisition Scope and Sequence (Korean) 

Oral Language  Viewing and Presenting  Written Language: Reading   Written Language: Writing 

  Oral language encompasses all 

aspects of listening and 

speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language 

development, for learning and for 

relating to others. Listening 

requires active and conscious 

attention in order to make sense 

of what is heard. Purposeful talk 

enables learners to articulate 

thoughts as they construct and 

reconstruct meaning to 

understand the world around 

them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain 

types of language according to the 

audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) 

and expressive processes 

(presenting) are connected and 

allow for reciprocal growth in 

understanding; neither process 

has meaning except in relation to 

the other. These processes involve 

interpreting, using and 

constructing visuals and 

multimedia in a variety of 

situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual 

texts may be paper, electronic or 

live, observable forms of 

communication that are 

consciously constructed to convey 

meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant 

access to data. Learning to 

interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different 

media, are invaluable life skills. 

Reading is a developmental 

process that involves constructing 

meaning from text. The process is 

interactive and involves the 

reader’s purpose for reading, the 

reader’s prior knowledge and 

experience, and the text itself. 

 

As inquirers, learners need to be 

able to identify, synthesize and 

apply useful and relevant 

information from text. 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing allows us to organize and 

communicate thoughts, ideas and 

information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily 

concerned with communicating 

meaning and intention. Over time, 

writing involves developing a 

variety of structures, strategies 

and literary techniques (spelling, 

grammar, plot, character, 

punctuation, voice) and applying 

them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.

Grade Two Arts Scope and Sequence     Creating  Responding 

  The process of creating provides students with opportunities to communicate distinctive forms of meaning, develop their technical skills, take creative risks, solve problems and visualize consequences. Students are encouraged to draw on their imagination, experiences and knowledge of materials and processes as starting points for creative exploration. They can make connections between their work and that of other artists to inform their thinking and to provide inspiration. Both independently and collaboratively, students participate in creative processes through which they can communicate ideas and express feelings. The creating strand provides opportunities for students to explore their personal interests, beliefs and values and to engage in a personal artistic journey. 

The process of responding provides students with opportunities to respond to their own and other artists’ works and processes, and in so doing develop the skills of critical analysis, interpretation, evaluation, reflection and communication. Students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, methods and elements of dance, drama, music and visual arts, including using specialized language. Students consider their own and other artists’ works in context and from different perspectives in order to construct meaning and inform their own future works and processes.

capability as well as through physical changes. 

We can apply a range of fundamental movement 

skills to a variety of activities. 

Movements can be used to convey feelings, 

attitudes, ideas or emotions. 

The use of responsible practices in physical 

environments can contribute to our personal 

safety and the safety of others. 

Conceptual Understandings 

Participation in a group can require group 

members to take on different roles and 

responsibilities. 

There are norms of behaviour that guide the 

interactions within different groups, and people 

adapt to these norms. 

Our actions towards others influence their 

actions towards us. 

Responsible citizenship involves conservation 

and preservation of the local environment.

Oral Language  Viewing and Presenting  Written Language: Writing 

Oral language encompasses all aspects of 

listening and speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language development, for learning 

and for relating to others. Listening requires 

active and conscious attention in order to make 

sense of what is heard. Purposeful talk enables 

learners to articulate thoughts as they construct 

and reconstruct meaning to understand the 

world around them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain types of language 

according to the audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) and expressive 

processes (presenting) are connected and allow 

for reciprocal growth in understanding; neither 

process has meaning except in relation to the 

other. These processes involve interpreting, using 

and constructing visuals and multimedia in a 

variety of situations and for a range of purposes 

and audiences. Visual texts may be paper, 

electronic or live, observable forms of 

communication that are consciously constructed 

to convey meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant access to data. 

Learning to interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different media, are 

invaluable life skills. 

Writing allows us to organize and communicate 

thoughts, ideas and information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily concerned with 

communicating meaning and intention. Over 

time, writing involves developing a variety of 

structures, strategies and literary techniques 

(spelling, grammar, plot, character, punctuation, 

voice) and applying them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.  

 

 

 

 

 

Conceptual Understandings 

Spoken language varies according to the purpose 

and audience.  

People interpret messages according to their 

unique experiences and ways of understanding. 

Conceptual Understandings 

Visual texts expand our database of sources of 

information.  

Visual texts provide alternative means to develop 

new levels of understanding.  

Selecting the most suitable forms of visual 

presentation enhances our ability to express 

ideas and images.  

Conceptual Understandings 

We write in different ways for different purposes.  

The structure of different types of texts includes 

identifiable features.  

Thinking about storybook characters and people 

in real life helps us to develop characters in our 

own stories.

Grade 3 Math Scope and Sequence  Data Handling   Measurement   Shape and Space   Pattern and Function 

Data handling allows us to make a 

summary of what we know about 

the world and to make inferences 

about what we do not know.  

● Data can be collected, organized, 

represented and summarized in 

a variety of ways to highlight 

similarities, differences and 

trends; the chosen format 

should illustrate the information 

without bias or distortion. 

● Probability can be expressed 

qualitatively by using terms such 

as “unlikely”, “certain” or 

“impossible”. It can be expressed 

quantitatively on a numerical 

scale.  

To measure is to attach a number 

to a quantity using a chosen unit. 

Since the attributes being 

measured are continuous, ways 

must be found to deal with 

quantities that fall between 

numbers. It is important to know 

how accurate a measurement 

needs to be or can ever be.  

 

The regions, paths and boundaries 

of natural space can be described 

by shape. An understanding of the 

interrelationships of shape allows 

us to interpret, understand and 

appreciate our two-dimensional 

(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) 

world.  

 

To identify pattern is to begin to 

understand how mathematics 

applies to the world in which we 

live. The repetitive features of 

patterns can be identified and 

described as generalized rules 

called “functions”. This builds a 

foundation for the later study of 

algebra.  

 

Conceptual Understandings  

Data can be collected, organized, 

displayed, and analyzed in different 

ways.  

Different graph forms highlight 

different aspects of data more 

efficiently.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Objects and events have attributes 

that can be measured using 

appropriate tools.  

Relationships exist between 

standard units that measure the 

same attributes.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Geometric shapes and vocabulary 

are useful for representing and 

describing objects and events in 

real world situations.  

Shapes can be transformed in 

different ways.  

 

Conceptual Understandings 

Functions are relationships or rules 

that uniquely associate members of 

one set with members of another 

set.  

By analyzing patterns and 

identifying rules for patterns it is 

possible to make predictions.

Number Our number system is a language for describing quantities and the relationships between quantities. For example, the value attributed to a digit 

depends on its place within a base system. 

Numbers are used to interpret information, make decisions and solve problems. For example, the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication 

and division are related to one another and are used to process information in order to solve problems. The degree of precision needed in calculating 

depends on how the result will be used.  

Conceptual Understandings

Grade Three Language Acquisition Scope and Sequence (Korean) 

Oral Language  Viewing and Presenting  Written Language: Reading   Written Language: Writing 

  Oral language encompasses all 

aspects of listening and 

speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language 

development, for learning and for 

relating to others. Listening 

requires active and conscious 

attention in order to make sense 

of what is heard. Purposeful talk 

enables learners to articulate 

thoughts as they construct and 

reconstruct meaning to 

understand the world around 

them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain 

types of language according to the 

audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) 

and expressive processes 

(presenting) are connected and 

allow for reciprocal growth in 

understanding; neither process 

has meaning except in relation to 

the other. These processes involve 

interpreting, using and 

constructing visuals and 

multimedia in a variety of 

situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual 

texts may be paper, electronic or 

live, observable forms of 

communication that are 

consciously constructed to convey 

meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant 

access to data. Learning to 

interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different 

media, are invaluable life skills. 

Reading is a developmental 

process that involves constructing 

meaning from text. The process is 

interactive and involves the 

reader’s purpose for reading, the 

reader’s prior knowledge and 

experience, and the text itself. 

 

As inquirers, learners need to be 

able to identify, synthesize and 

apply useful and relevant 

information from text. 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing allows us to organize and 

communicate thoughts, ideas and 

information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily 

concerned with communicating 

meaning and intention. Over time, 

writing involves developing a 

variety of structures, strategies 

and literary techniques (spelling, 

grammar, plot, character, 

punctuation, voice) and applying 

them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.  

 

 

 

 

 

  Conceptual Understandings:  

People communicate using 

different languages. 

 

Conceptual Understandings: 

People use static and moving 

images to communicate ideas and 

information. 

Conceptual Understandings: 

The words we see and hear enable 

us to create picture in our mind.

Grade Three Arts Scope and Sequence     Creating  Responding 

  The process of creating provides students with opportunities to communicate distinctive forms of meaning, develop their technical skills, take creative risks, solve problems and visualize consequences. Students are encouraged to draw on their imagination, experiences and knowledge of materials and processes as starting points for creative exploration. They can make connections between their work and that of other artists to inform their thinking and to provide inspiration. Both independently and collaboratively, students participate in creative processes through which they can communicate ideas and express feelings. The creating strand provides opportunities for students to explore their personal interests, beliefs and values and to engage in a personal artistic journey. 

The process of responding provides students with opportunities to respond to their own and other artists’ works and processes, and in so doing develop the skills of critical analysis, interpretation, evaluation, reflection and communication. Students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, methods and elements of dance, drama, music and visual arts, including using specialized language. Students consider their own and other artists’ works in context and from different perspectives in order to construct meaning and inform their own future works and processes.

Grade Four Math Scope and Sequence  Data Handling   Measurement   Shape and Space   Pattern and Function 

Data handling allows us to make a 

summary of what we know about 

the world and to make inferences 

about what we do not know.  

● Data can be collected, 

organized, represented and 

summarized in a variety of ways to 

highlight similarities, differences 

and trends; the chosen format 

should illustrate the information 

without bias or distortion. 

● Probability can be expressed 

qualitatively by using terms such as 

“unlikely”, “certain” or “impossible”. 

It can be expressed quantitatively 

on a numerical scale.  

To measure is to attach a number to 

a quantity using a chosen unit. Since 

the attributes being measured are 

continuous, ways must be found to 

deal with quantities that fall 

between numbers. It is important to 

know how accurate a measurement 

needs to be or can ever be.  

 

The regions, paths and boundaries 

of natural space can be described 

by shape. An understanding of the 

interrelationships of shape allows 

us to interpret, understand and 

appreciate our two-dimensional 

(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) 

world.  

 

To identify pattern is to begin to 

understand how mathematics 

applies to the world in which we 

live. The repetitive features of 

patterns can be identified and 

described as generalized rules 

called “functions”. This builds a 

foundation for the later study of 

algebra.  

 

Conceptual Understandings  

Probability can be expressed in 

numerical notations. 

Data can be collected, organized, 

displayed, and analyzed in different 

ways.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Relationships exist between 

standard units that measure the 

same attributes.  

Conversion of units and 

measurement allows us to make 

sense of the world we live in.  

A range of procedures exist to 

measure different attributes of 

objects and events. 

Accuracy of measurements 

depends on the situation and the 

precision of the tool.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Geometric tools and methods can 

be used to solve problems relating 

to shape and space.  

Consolidating what we know of 

geometric concepts allows us to 

make sense of and interact with our 

world.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Patterns can often be generalized 

using algebraic expressions, 

equations, or functions.  

Functions are relationships or rules 

that uniquely associate members of 

one set with members of another 

set.

themselves are the same size. Use 

this principle to recognize and 

generate equivalent fractions.

Number Our number system is a language for describing quantities and the relationships between quantities. For example, the value attributed to a digit 

depends on its place within a base system. 

Numbers are used to interpret information, make decisions and solve problems. For example, the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication 

and division are related to one another and are used to process information in order to solve problems. The degree of precision needed in calculating 

depends on how the result will be used.  

Conceptual Understandings 

The base 10 place value system can be extended to represent magnitude.  

Fractions and decimals are ways of representing whole-part relationship.  

For fractional and decimal computation, the ideas developed for whole-number computation can apply.  

The operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are related to each other and are used to process information to solve problems.

Grade Four Language Acquisition Scope and Sequence (Korean) 

Oral Language  Viewing and Presenting  Written Language: Reading   Written Language: Writing 

  Oral language encompasses all 

aspects of listening and 

speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language 

development, for learning and for 

relating to others. Listening 

requires active and conscious 

attention in order to make sense 

of what is heard. Purposeful talk 

enables learners to articulate 

thoughts as they construct and 

reconstruct meaning to 

understand the world around 

them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain 

types of language according to the 

audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) 

and expressive processes 

(presenting) are connected and 

allow for reciprocal growth in 

understanding; neither process 

has meaning except in relation to 

the other. These processes involve 

interpreting, using and 

constructing visuals and 

multimedia in a variety of 

situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual 

texts may be paper, electronic or 

live, observable forms of 

communication that are 

consciously constructed to convey 

meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant 

access to data. Learning to 

interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different 

media, are invaluable life skills. 

Reading is a developmental 

process that involves constructing 

meaning from text. The process is 

interactive and involves the 

reader’s purpose for reading, the 

reader’s prior knowledge and 

experience, and the text itself. 

 

As inquirers, learners need to be 

able to identify, synthesize and 

apply useful and relevant 

information from text. 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing allows us to organize and 

communicate thoughts, ideas and 

information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily 

concerned with communicating 

meaning and intention. Over time, 

writing involves developing a 

variety of structures, strategies 

and literary techniques (spelling, 

grammar, plot, character, 

punctuation, voice) and applying 

them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.  

 

 

 

 

 

  Conceptual Understandings:  

Spoken words connect us with 

others. 

Conceptual Understandings: 

The pictures, images and symbols 

in our environment have meaning.

Grade Four Arts Scope and Sequence     Creating  Responding 

  The process of creating provides students with opportunities to communicate distinctive forms of meaning, develop their technical skills, take creative risks, solve problems and visualize consequences. Students are encouraged to draw on their imagination, experiences and knowledge of materials and processes as starting points for creative exploration. They can make connections between their work and that of other artists to inform their thinking and to provide inspiration. Both independently and collaboratively, students participate in creative processes through which they can communicate ideas and express feelings. The creating strand provides opportunities for students to explore their personal interests, beliefs and values and to engage in a personal artistic journey. 

The process of responding provides students with opportunities to respond to their own and other artists’ works and processes, and in so doing develop the skills of critical analysis, interpretation, evaluation, reflection and communication. Students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, methods and elements of dance, drama, music and visual arts, including using specialized language. Students consider their own and other artists’ works in context and from different perspectives in order to construct meaning and inform their own future works and processes.

Grade Five Literacy Scope and Sequence Oral Language Viewing and Presenting Written Language: Writing

Oral language encompasses all aspects of 

listening and speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language development, for learning 

and for relating to others. Listening requires 

active and conscious attention in order to make 

sense of what is heard. Purposeful talk enables 

learners to articulate thoughts as they construct 

and reconstruct meaning to understand the 

world around them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain types of language 

according to the audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) and expressive 

processes (presenting) are connected and allow 

for reciprocal growth in understanding; neither 

process has meaning except in relation to the 

other. These processes involve interpreting, 

using and constructing visuals and multimedia in 

a variety of situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual texts may be 

paper, electronic or live, observable forms of 

communication that are consciously constructed 

to convey meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant access to data. 

Learning to interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different media, are 

invaluable life skills. 

Writing allows us to organize and communicate 

thoughts, ideas and information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily concerned with 

communicating meaning and intention. Over 

time, writing involves developing a variety of 

structures, strategies and literary techniques 

(spelling, grammar, plot, character, punctuation, 

voice) and applying them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.  

 

 

 

 

 

Conceptual Understandings 

The grammatical structures of a language enable 

members of a language community to 

communicate with each other.  

Spoken language can be used to persuade and 

influence people.  

Metaphorical language creates strong visual 

images in our imagination.  

People draw on what they already know in order 

to infer new meaning from what they hear.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Synthesizing information from visual texts is 

dependent upon personal interpretation and 

leads to new understanding.  

Visual texts have the power to influence thinking 

and behavior.  

Conceptual Understandings 

When writing, the words we choose and how we 

choose to use them enable us to share our 

imaginings and ideas.  

Effective stories have a purpose and structure 

that help to make the author’s intention clear. 

Knowing what we aim to achieve helps us to plan 

and develop different forms of writing.  

Synthesizing ideas enables us to build on what 

we know, reflect on different perspectives, and 

express new ideas.

Grade Five Math Scope and Sequence  Data Handling   Measurement   Shape and Space   Pattern and Function 

Data handling allows us to make a 

summary of what we know about 

the world and to make inferences 

about what we do not know.  

● Data can be collected, organized, 

represented and summarized in 

a variety of ways to highlight 

similarities, differences and 

trends; the chosen format 

should illustrate the information 

without bias or distortion. 

● Probability can be expressed 

qualitatively by using terms such 

as “unlikely”, “certain” or 

“impossible”. It can be expressed 

quantitatively on a numerical 

scale.  

To measure is to attach a number 

to a quantity using a chosen unit. 

Since the attributes being measured 

are continuous, ways must be 

found to deal with quantities that 

fall between numbers. It is 

important to know how accurate a 

measurement needs to be or can 

ever be.  

 

The regions, paths and boundaries 

of natural space can be described 

by shape. An understanding of the 

interrelationships of shape allows 

us to interpret, understand and 

appreciate our two-dimensional 

(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) 

world.  

 

To identify pattern is to begin to 

understand how mathematics 

applies to the world in which we 

live. The repetitive features of 

patterns can be identified and 

described as generalized rules 

called “functions”. This builds a 

foundation for the later study of 

algebra.  

 

Conceptual Understandings  

Data can be presented effectively 

for valid interpretation and 

communication. 

 

 

Conceptual Understandings 

Conversion of units and 

measurements allows us to make 

sense of the world we live in.  

Accuracy of measurements 

depends on the situation and the 

precision of the tool.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Geometric tools and methods can 

be used to solve problems relating 

to shape and space.  

Consolidating what we know of 

geometric concepts allows us to 

make sense of an interact with our 

world.  

Conceptual Understandings 

Exponential notation is a powerful 

way to express repeated products 

of the same number.  

Patterns can often be generalized 

using algebraic expressions, 

equations, or functions.

Number Our number system is a language for describing quantities and the relationships between quantities. For example, the value attributed to a digit 

depends on its place within a base system. 

 

Numbers are used to interpret information, make decisions and solve problems. For example, the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication 

and division are related to one another and are used to process information in order to solve problems. The degree of precision needed in calculating 

depends on how the result will be used.  

Conceptual Understandings 

The base 10 value system extends infinitely in two directions.  

Fractions, decimal fractions, and percentages are ways of representing whole-part relationships.

Grade Five Language Acquisition Scope and Sequence (Korean) 

Oral Language  Viewing and Presenting  Written Language: Reading   Written Language: Writing 

  Oral language encompasses all 

aspects of listening and 

speaking—skills that are essential 

for ongoing language 

development, for learning and for 

relating to others. Listening 

requires active and conscious 

attention in order to make sense 

of what is heard. Purposeful talk 

enables learners to articulate 

thoughts as they construct and 

reconstruct meaning to 

understand the world around 

them. Oral language involves 

recognizing and using certain 

types of language according to the 

audience and purposes  

The receptive processes (viewing) 

and expressive processes 

(presenting) are connected and 

allow for reciprocal growth in 

understanding; neither process 

has meaning except in relation to 

the other. These processes involve 

interpreting, using and 

constructing visuals and 

multimedia in a variety of 

situations and for a range of 

purposes and audiences. Visual 

texts may be paper, electronic or 

live, observable forms of 

communication that are 

consciously constructed to convey 

meaning and immediately engage 

viewers, allowing them instant 

access to data. Learning to 

interpret this data, and to 

understand and use different 

media, are invaluable life skills. 

Reading is a developmental 

process that involves constructing 

meaning from text. The process is 

interactive and involves the 

reader’s purpose for reading, the 

reader’s prior knowledge and 

experience, and the text itself. 

 

As inquirers, learners need to be 

able to identify, synthesize and 

apply useful and relevant 

information from text. 

 

 

 

 

 

Writing allows us to organize and 

communicate thoughts, ideas and 

information in a visible and 

tangible way. Writing is primarily 

concerned with communicating 

meaning and intention. Over time, 

writing involves developing a 

variety of structures, strategies 

and literary techniques (spelling, 

grammar, plot, character, 

punctuation, voice) and applying 

them with increasing skill and 

effectiveness.  

 

 

 

 

 

  Conceptual Understandings:  

The grammatical structures of a 

language enable members of a 

language community to 

communicate with each other. 

Conceptual Understandings: 

Visual texts can expand our 

database of sources of 

information.  

Conceptual Understandings:

Grade Five Arts Scope and Sequence     Creating  Responding 

  The process of creating provides students with opportunities to communicate distinctive forms of meaning, develop their technical skills, take creative risks, solve problems and visualize consequences. Students are encouraged to draw on their imagination, experiences and knowledge of materials and processes as starting points for creative exploration. They can make connections between their work and that of other artists to inform their thinking and to provide inspiration. Both independently and collaboratively, students participate in creative processes through which they can communicate ideas and express feelings. The creating strand provides opportunities for students to explore their personal interests, beliefs and values and to engage in a personal artistic journey. 

The process of responding provides students with opportunities to respond to their own and other artists’ works and processes, and in so doing develop the skills of critical analysis, interpretation, evaluation, reflection and communication. Students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, methods and elements of dance, drama, music and visual arts, including using specialized language. Students consider their own and other artists’ works in context and from different perspectives in order to construct meaning and inform their own future works and processes.
