By the end of kindergarten,
students explore the beginnings of concepts involving small numbers,
quantities and simple shapes in their everyday environment. Concrete,
hands-on experiences provide a foundation as they count, compare, describe
and sort objects, and develop a sense about properties and patterns.
CONTENT STANDARD 1
1. Number Sense and
Operations
Students will:
-
Understand the relationships
between numbers and quantities
-
Understand and describe simple
addition and subtraction situations
-
Use estimation strategies in
computation and problem solving
-
Understand the use of numbers
up to 100
-
Demonstrate the meaning of
addition and subtraction and use the inverse relationship of addition and
subtraction to solve problems
-
Make reasonable estimates when
comparing numbers
-
Understand the relationship
among whole numbers up to 1000
-
Calculate and solve problems
using addition and subtraction
-
Model and solve simple problems
involving multiplication and division
-
Understand that fractions,
sets, and subsets refer to parts of a whole
-
Model and solve problems by
representing, adding and subtracting amounts of money
-
Use estimation strategies in
computation and problem solving that involve numbers that use ones, tens,
hundreds and thousands places
-
Understand the place value of
whole numbers
-
Calculate and solve problems
that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
-
Understand the relationship
between whole numbers, simple fractions, and decimals
-
Understand the place value of
whole numbers and decimals, how these relate to addition of simple fractions
and decimals, and use the concepts of negative numbers
-
Solve problems involving
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers,
including the addition and subtraction of negative numbers, and understand
the relationship among numbers
-
Compute with very large and
very small numbers, negative and positive numbers, decimals and fractions
and understand the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents
Performance Indicators
1.K.1 Count, write, recognize,
represent using manipulatives, name and differentiate numbers from 0-30.
1.K.2 Count backwards from
20-0.
1.K.3 Identify, describe, sort,
classify, determine sequence and compare objects by attribute(s).
1.K.4 Explain number meanings
through real world experiences and manipulatives.
1.K.5 Determine first, last.
1.K.6 Identify and illustrate

1.K.7 Explain the function of a
clock.
1.K.8 Recognize and distinguish
coins: penny, nickel, dime, quarter.

calculator.
1.K.10 Recognize the numbers on
the face of a calculator.
1.K.11 Use manipulatives to
illustrate addition and subtraction of 1-digit numerals.

CONTENT STANDARD 2
2. Measurement and
Geometry
Students will:
-
Identify common geometric
objects and explore properties such as length, weight, capacity
-
Describe, draw and compare the
attributes of plane and solid geometric figures and classify them by common
attributes and describe their relative location and use their understanding
to show relationships and solve problems
-
Students explore the concept of
time
-
Use direct comparison and
non-standard units to describe the measurements of objects
-
Understand that measurement is
accomplished by identifying a unit of measure and comparing it to the item
to be measured
-
Identify and describe the
elements that compose common figures in the plane and common objects in
space
-
Choose appropriate units and
measurement tools to quantify the properties of objects
-
Understand perimeter, area, and
volume of objects and measure in English and Metric units
Performance Indicators
2.K.1 Identify and describe
verbally, and draw common geometric objects (e.g., circle, triangle, square,
rectangle, cone, cube, sphere).
2.K.2 Sort, compare and
classify objects by common attributes (e.g., shorter/longer/taller,
lighter/heavier, which holds more, roundness, size, shape).
2.K.3 Name the days of the week
2.K.4 Demonstrate an
understanding of the concept of time (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening,
lunchtime, bedtime, today, yesterday, tomorrow, week, year).
2.K.5 Recognize and describe
patterns in the environment.
2.K.6 Recognize and create
repeating or increasing patterns.
CONTENT STANDARD 3
3. Algebra
Students will:
-
Sort and classify objects
-
Use number sentences to solve
problems
-
Model, represent, and interpret
number relationships to create and solve problems involving addition and
subtraction
-
Select appropriate symbols,
operations and properties to represent, describe, simplify, and solve
problems involving number relationships
-
Use and interpret variables,
mathematical symbols and properties to write and simplify expressions and
equations, compute the value or values of a specific variable, and plot and
interpret the results
Performance Indicator
3.K.1 Identify and sort objects
that belong to particular groupings (e.g. color, size, number of edges).
CONTENT STANDARD 4
4. Probability and
Statistics
Students will:
-
Collect information about
objects and events in the environment
-
Organize, represent, compare,
and interpret categorical data on simple graphs and charts and communicate
their findings
-

display, and interpret numerical data on bar graphs, and other
representations
-
Display, analyze, compare and
interpret different data sets, including data sets that are not the same
size
-
