How Do We Group The Standards?
In the mentor text we used throughout the semester, Elementary and Middle School Mathematics Teaching Developmentally (8th edition), by John A. Van De Walle, the standards are addressed in an effective and interactive manner. That is, the standards described are separate only because of their groupings, but work strategically together to form a whole. They provide guidance and support in terms of a teacher's objectives for a lesson, activity, or structuring of class time. It is crucial to evaluate your teaching style and aligning it to the standards and objectives to stay task-oriented, and to assess growth, progress, and development amongst your students.
