Week 9 I can…	Interpret data displayed in a circle graph. Understand that an angle is measured with reference to a circle, with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. Understand an angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure other angles. Understand an angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees. Use the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to solve real-world problems involving distances, intervals of time, volumes, masses of objects, and money. Include addition and subtraction problems involving simple fractions and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Formulate questions that can be addressed with data. Use observations, surveys, and experiments to collect, represent, and interpret the data using tables (including frequency tables), line plots, and bar graphs.

				Week 9 I can…	Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction in different ecosystems. Construct and compare multiple plausible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Week 9 I can…	Locate and discuss art in the local community and throughout Indiana such as town monuments, architecture, sculpture, public art, functional art, and advertisements. Identify and research the function of a work of art or artifact and make connections to the culture (focus: Indiana, including the diversity of past and contemporary cultures and ethnicities).
