Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• indicator text - p.3: content standard B4.1.1.2's indicators open at .2; the document prints no B4.1.1.2.1. The page also carries a bare "SUB-STRAND 1" heading in the content standard column, naming nothing, which is dropped
