The following terms are developed and/or defined in this grade level's materials.
ADD AND SUBTRACTION RELATION	CIRCLE	SUBTRACTION (WHOLE NUMBER)
ADDEND (WHOLE NUMBER)	INEQUALITY SIGN	TRIANGLE
ADDITION (WHOLE NUMBER)	PROBLEM SOLVING





The following terms appear in this grade level's materials. At this grade level the terms are used within one or more examples or illustrations. The purpose is to begin to develop the basic concept, which will be more formally developed in coming grades.
ADDING WITH NUMBER LINE	LENGTH	SQUARE
BAR GRAPH	MEASUREMENT (LENGTH	SUBTRACTION (TWO PLACE)
CLOSED CURVE	NUMBER SENTENCE	SYMBOLS FOR ADDITION
COMPASS	ON THE CURVE	THREE DIMENSION
CONE	ONE HALF	TIME
COUNTING	ORDINAL NUMBER	TRUE AND FALSE (EQUATIONS)
CUBE	RADIUS	UNKNOWN (EQUATIONS)
CURVE	RECTANGLE	VERTICES (SOLIDS)
CYLINDER	RECTANGULAR PRISM	WRITING NUMBERS
EQUATION	SHAPE
FACE (POLYHEDRON)	SPHERE





A synonym of the following terms has been used. The synonym helps to bridge the learner's non mathematical experiences to mathematics terms that will more formally be worked on. A synonym may also be used because these historical terms may have been replaced by a new vocabulary (k-12math.info's list of 1,000 terms has not changed in 40 years). Wiktionary dictonary may help here.
ADD. COMBINATIONS (WHOLE)	EQUALITY	MONEY
COLLECTING (STATISTICS)	FREQUENCY TABLE	PICTOGRAPH
COLUMN ADDITION	IDENTITY (ADDITION)	THREE ADDENDS
COMMUTATIVE (ADDING WHOLE NUMBERS)	INEQUALITY	UNIT LENGTH
COMPARISON (MEASUREMENT)	INTERPRETATION STATISTICS	WORD PROBLEMS (WHOLE)

K-12math.info selected the content that appears here. All terms appear in the lesson proper. The selection process is based upon a content analysis of 2013 to advance copies of 2015 student mathematics textbook series. Series that base their content on 2010 and/or 2012 standards. The analysis also included content that was felt would be needed for the transistion to CK-12 existing textbook series.

Editor's Note: This is a very basic outline of the content and how they are to be developed in the lesson proper. These terms need to be used in examples, illustrations, class activities and homework to help further understand them.

Additional observations made while collecting information for this site on unit development in a textbook:

One type has a chapter unit divided into 3 parts:
Part 1 has a written explanation of the concept being developed (or defined).
Part 2 has examples and illustrations of the concept.
Part 3 classroom and/or homework activities.

Another approach consists of 2 parts:
Part 1: the concept being developed (or defined) is being used in several carefully designed examples and illustrations.
Part 2: classroom and/or homework activities.
