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.61: printed 'K1.5.1.1.', which is the content standard's own code, as the second indicator of sub-strand 5.1. Unlike the other segment-short codes this one cannot be completed: K1.5.1.1.2 is already printed on p.62 and the family runs .1 to .7 with no gap, so this indicator has no number anywhere in the document; transcribed as printed and left for a human
• indicator text - printed "K1.5.1.1" on p.61 with no indicator digit at all. Sub-strand 5.1 runs .1 to .7 with no gap, so there is no slot in printed position (this row is printed second, between .1 and .2). Filed as .8, the only free slot, rather than renumbering the six correctly printed codes .2 to .7 that would have to move to make room. Document order is preserved by source_page and by this row position in the file.
