Number

K.N.1

Say the number sequence by 1s starting anywhere from 1 to 10 and from 10 to 1. • Achievement Indicators - Name the number that comes after a given number, one to nine. - Name the number that comes before a given number, two to ten. - Recite number names from a given number to a stated number (forward – one to ten, backward – ten to one) using visual aids.

K.N.2

Recognize, at a glance, and name familiar arrangements of 1 to 5 objects or dots. • Achievement Indicators - Look briefly at a given familiar arrangement of 1 to 5 objects or dots and identify the number represented without counting. - Identify the number represented by a given dot arrangement on a five frame.

K.N.3

Relate a numeral, 1 to 10, to its respective quantity. • Achievement Indicators - Construct a set of objects corresponding to a given numeral. - Name the number for a given set of objects. - Hold up the appropriate number of fingers for a given numeral. - Match numerals with their given pictorial representations.

K.N.4

Represent and describe numbers 2 to 10, concretely and pictorially. • Achievement Indicators - Show a given number as two parts, using fingers, counters or other objects, and name the number of objects in each part. - Show a given number as two parts using pictures and name the number of objects in each part.

K.N.5

Compare quantities, 1 to 10, using one-to-one correspondence. • Achievement Indicators - Construct a set to show more than, fewer than or as many as a given set. - Compare two given sets through direct comparison and describe the sets using words, such as more, fewer, as many as or the same number.

Shape and Space

K.SS.1

Use direct comparison to compare two objects based on a single attribute, such as length (height), mass (weight) and volume (capacity). • Achievement Indicators - Compare the length (height) of two given objects and explain the comparison using the words shorter, longer (taller) or almost the same. - Compare the mass (weight) of two given objects and explain the comparison using the words lighter, heavier or almost the same. - Compare the volume (capacity) of two given objects and explain the comparison using the words less, more, bigger, smaller or almost the same.

K.SS.2

Sort 3-D objects using a single attribute. • Achievement Indicators - Sort a given set of familiar 3-D objects using a single attribute, such as size or shape, and explain the sorting rule. - Determine the difference between two given pre-sorted sets by explaining a sorting rule used to sort them.

K.SS.3

Build and describe 3-D objects. • Achievement Indicators - Create a representation of a given 3-D object using materials, such as modelling clay and building blocks, and compare the representation to the original 3-D object. - Describe a given 3-D object using words, such as big, little, round, like a box and like a can.

Patterns and Relations

K.PR.1

Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (two or three elements) by: • identifying • reproducing • extending • creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds and actions.

K.PR.2

Sort a set of objects based on a single attribute, and explain the sorting rule.
