Number Sense: Numbers are
used to represent quantity or position and quantities can be combined or
taken apart Recognizing, Creating, and Extending Patterns: Patterns show order in the world, can be found in many different forms, and can be used to sort and classify objects. Geometry: Shapes can be described by their characteristics and they can be sorted using their attributes. Measurement: Objects have distinct attributes that can be
measured, and objects can be compared using the same attribute. Data Analysis: Formulate questions that can be addressed
with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them. |

*Count by ones to at least 30. *Match quantities up to at least 10 with numerals. *Identify positions of objects in sequences up to
fifth. *Compare sets of up to at least 10 concrete objects
using appropriate language (e.g., none, more than, fewer than, same number
of, one more than) and order numbers. *Represent quantities using concrete objects. *Understand the concepts of whole and half. *Identify *Identify, sort and classify objects by color,
shape, size, number, and other properties. *Identify, reproduce, describe, extend, and create
color, rhythmic, shape, number, and letter repeating patterns with simple
attributes, *Explore skip counting by twos, fives and tens. *Name, describe, sort, and draw simple
two-dimensional shapes (circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles). *Describe attributes of two-dimensional
shapes, (e.g., number of sides,
number of corners). *Identify positions of objects in space,
and use appropriate language (e.g., beside, inside, next to, close to, above,
below, apart, under, over, behind, between) to describe and compare their
relative positions. *Recognize and compare the attributes of length,
volume/capacity, weight, area, and time using appropriate language, (e.g.,
longer, taller, shorter, equal, heavier, lighter, hold more, holds less) *Sequence pictures of events, (e.g., before, after,
next, etc.). *Tell time to the hour on an analog clock. *Name the days of the week and seasons. *Collect, sort, organize, and draw conclusions about
data using concrete objects, pictures, numbers, and graphs. |
Mathematics should be
embedded in common classroom routines and activities: morning meeting, making & sharing snack,
water/sand table, place in line, etc. Teachers will also incorporate the activities/suggestions in the Classroom Routines section of the Implementing Investigations in Kindergarten Guide into their daily class schedule |
