|---|---|
| ME-1 | This is the reference format for the learning targets found in Karin Hess's Learning Progressions Frameworks (LPF), the Measurement (ME) strand. |
| K.ME.1a1 | This is a Core Content Connector reference. The Core Content Connector (CCC) references are directly related to the LPF Progress Indicator references. The first five characters and included periods in this example, K.ME.1a, are the reference for the LPF Progress Indicator, the final digit, 1, indicates the number of the CCC that has been developed in relation to the indicator. |
| 3.MD.A.1 | This is a Common Core State Standard reference. In this reference, the 3 indicates the grade level, the MD indicates the domain, Measurement and Data,the A indicates the cluster, "Solve problems involving measurement and estimation",and the 1 indicates the number of the standard. |
