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

content standard text - p.86: this content standard is printed "1.4.3.CS.3" although it is the only content standard of sub-strand 1.4.3 and the document prints no 1.4.3.CS.1 or 1.4.3.CS.2 anywhere; carried as printed and not corrected
exemplars - p.86: this indicator's assessment is printed "1.4.1.AS.1" although the indicator, the content standard and the learning outcome on and around this page are all 1.4.3; sub-strand 1.4.1 is a different sub-strand with its own 1.4.1.AS.1 on printed p.71. The assessment content is carried as printed and the code is not corrected
