Mathematics Grade Expectations
A grade expectation (GE) is a stated objective that relates directly to a Vermont standard and associated evidences. A GE differentiates performance on content knowledge or skills between adjacent grade levels and describe clearly what students will do to show that they understand a designated concept. As a set, GEs should lead to focused, coherent, and developmentally appropriate instruction without narrowing the curriculum and can be used for local curriculum and assessment development. NOTE: Due to the original creation of this document, this download will also include the reading and writing GCEs. Pages specific to mathematics are on pages 9-44.
