Revision as of 08:19, 17 February 2009
, 08:19, 17 February 2009Initial copy from Gdk's page.
This is clearly a copy of Greg's Holy list of 4th grade maths. This is where you stake your claim. You'll clearly have a wiki page created for your proposed activity. Once that's done, link to it in the follow list of learning objectives so that we don't overly duplicate.

== Introduction ==
It's important to connect activities and content to actual learning objectives.
There are many great, well-established curriculum frameworks that would make this easy.
I have decided to steal the [http://www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks/current.html Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics] for experimental purposes. (As I understand it, this work is public domain.)
