In the context of Distance Learning, the ability to condense your curriculum and focus on critical standards is vital to the success of the program. You can use this report to quickly evaluate the relative importance of a given standard by examining the number of standards that are dependent on a given standard. For example, 4.MD.A.2 is a foundational standard for four fifth grade standards whereas 4.MD.A.1 is foundational only one fifth grade standard ( 5.MD.A.1). So, you may want to give higher priority to 4.MD.A.2 as you plan your curriculum strategy.
