UNITS OF STUDY

COUNTING AND CARDINALITY

Big Idea

Numeric reasoning involves fluency and facility with numbers.

Know number names and the count sequence.

A.  Essential Question

Why are numbers necessary?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Count to 100 by ones and by tens. K.C.C.1

Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1). K.C.C.2

Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). K.C.C.3

Count to tell the number of objects

 

Essential Question

How can we connect number words and quantities they represent?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. K.C.C.4.

When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. K.C.C.4.a

Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. K.C.C.4.b

Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. K.C.C.4.c

Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.K.C.C.5

Compare Numbers

 

A. Essential Question

How can we compare and contrast numbers?

B. Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. K.C.C.6

Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. K.C.C.7

OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING

Big Idea

Represent a mathematical situation as an expression or number sentence.

Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

Essential Question

How to model situations that involve values up to ten, using pictures, objects or symbols?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. K.O.A.1

Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. K.O.A.2

Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). K.O.A.3

For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation. K.O.A.4

Fluently add and subtract within 5. K.O.A.5

NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN

Big Idea

Develop an understanding of whole number relationships, including grouping by tens and ones.

Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value

Essential Question

What is place value?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Compose and decompose numbers from 11-19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g. by using objects or drawings, and record each composition and decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18= 10 + 8); Understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones. K.NBT.1

1V. MEASUREMENT AND DATA

Big Idea

Measurement is a tool to quantify a variety of phenomena.

Describe and compare measurable attributes

A. Essential Question 

What are the measurable attributes of an object?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Describe measurable attributes of objects such as length or weight.  Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. K.MD.1

Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has more of/less of the attribute, and describe the difference.  For example, directly compare the height of two children and describe one child as taller or shorter. K.MD.2

2. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category

Essential Question

How can objects/groups be categorized?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Classify objects into given categories; count the number of objects in each category and sort the categories by count (limit category counts to be less than or equal to ten). K.MD.3

GEOMETRY

Big Idea

Spatial sense and geometric relationships are a means to solve problems and make sense of a variety of phenomena.

Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres)

Essential Question

What are the attributes of flat and solid shapes?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind of, and next to. K.G.1

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid). K.G.2

Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes

Essential Question

How are shapes the same and different?

How can you make shapes?

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to:

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g. number of sides and vertices, corners) and other attributes (e.g. having sides of equal length). K.G.4

Model shapes in the world by building from components (e.g. sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. K.G.5

Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?” K.G.6
