Standards, Standards everywhere

Looking at the three separate sets of standards, it was interesting understanding how the three blend together. I believe with many of the standards, in order to complete one of the National Standards, you end up teaching many of the other standards seen. All of these standards fall into the big picture of teaching numbers and operations. While the verbage is different, the end result is the same. If the student were to complete the goals of one standard, they would inevitably be accomplishing the goals of another, as much of numbers and operations is intertwined. Using the standards that my partner and I are working on, it would be impossible for “students (to)… work flexibly with fractions, decimals, and percents to solve problems” without being able to apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.
