Objectives (Grades K-1)

• Number and Number Sense
  • 1.1 The student will count objects in a given set containing between 1 and 100 objects and write the corresponding numeral.
  • 1.2 The student will group a collection of up to 100 objects into tens and ones and write the corresponding numeral to develop an understanding of place value.
  • 1.3 The student will count forward by ones, fives, and tens to 100, by twos to 20, and backward by ones from 20.
  • 1.4 The student will recognize and write numerals 0 through 100.
  • 1.5 The student will identify the ordinal positions first through tenth, using an ordered set of objects.
  • 1.6 The student will identify and represent the concepts of one-half and one-fourth, using appropriate materials or a drawing.
• Computation and Estimation
  • 1.7 The student, given a familiar problem situation involving magnitude, will
    • a) select a reasonable magnitude from three given quantities: a one-digit numeral, a two-digit numeral, and a three-digit numeral (e.g., 5, 50, and 500); and
    • b) explain the reasonableness of his/her choice.
  • 1.8 The student will recall basic addition facts - i.e., sums to 10 or less - and the corresponding subtraction facts.
  • 1.9 The student will create and solve story and picture problems involving one-step solutions, using basic addition and subtraction facts.
• Measurement
  • 1.10 The student will
    • a) identify the number of pennies equivalent to a nickel, a dime, and a quarter;
    • b) determine the value of a collection of pennies, nickels, and dimes whose total value is 100 cents or less.
  • 1.11 The student will tell time to the half-hour, using an analog or digital clock.
  • 1.12 The student will use nonstandard units to measure length and weight.
  • 1.13 The student will compare the volumes of two given containers by using concrete materials (e.g., jelly beans, sand, water, rice).
  • 1.14 The student will compare the weights of two objects, using a balance scale.
• Geometry
  • 1.15 The student will describe the proximity of objects in space (near, far, close by, below, above, up, down, beside, and next to).
  • 1.16 The student will draw, describe, and sort plane geometric figures (triangle, square, rectangle, and circle) according to number of sides, corners, and square corners.
  • 1.17 The student will identify and describe objects in his/her environment that depict plane geometric figures (triangle, rectangle, square, and circle).
• Probability and Statistics
  • 1.18 The student will investigate, identify, and describe various forms of data collection in his/her world (e.g., recording daily temperature, lunch count, attendance, and favorite ice cream), using tables, picture graphs, and object graphs.
  • 1.19 The student will interpret information displayed in a picture or object graph, using the vocabulary more, less, fewer, greater than, less than, and equal to.
• Patterns, Functions, and Algebra
  • 1.20 The student will sort and classify concrete objects according to one or more attributes, including color, size, shape, and thickness.
  • 1.21 The student will recognize, describe, extend, and create a wide variety of patterns, including rhythmic, color, shape, and numerical. Patterns will include both growing and repeating patterns. Concrete materials and calculators will be used by students.
