Math Concepts  We Learn

 

*Rote counting: Count by 1's to 110, 2's to 30, 5's to 50, 10's to 110 and counting backwards from 10

*Rational counting: Count 20 or more objects and estimate the number of objects in a collection

*Place value and notation: Model numbers with manipulatives, recognize that digits can be used and combined to read and write numbers, read numbers up to 30. 

* Meanings and uses of fractions: Use manipulatives to model half of a region or a collection and describe the model.

* Equivalent names for whole numbers: Use manipulatives, drawings, and numeric expressions, involving addition and subtraction of one digit numbers to give equivalent names of whole numbers up to 20.

* Comparing and ordering numbers: Compare and order whole numbers up to 20. 

* Addition and subtraction facts: Use manipulatives, number lines, and mental arithmetic, to solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of single digit whole numbers. Demonstrate appropriate fluency with addition and subtraction facts within 5.

* Models for operations: Identify join and take away situations.

* Data collection and representation: Collect and organize date to create class constructed tally charts, tables and bar graphs.

*Data analysis: Use graphs to answer simple questions.

* Qualitative probability: Describe events using "certain" "possible" and "impossible" and other basic probability terms.

* Length, weight and angles: Use non standard tools and techniques to estimate and compare weight and length. Identify standard measuring tools.

* Money: Identify pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills.  

* Temperature: Describe temperature using appropriate vocabulary, such as "hot", "warm" "cold". Identify a thermometer as a tool for measuring temperature. 

* Time: Describe and use measures of time periods relative to a day and week. Identify tools that measure time.

* Plane and solid figures: Identify and describe plane and solid figures including circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, spheres and cubes. 

* Transformations and symmetry: Identify shapes having line symmetry.

* Patterns and functions: Extend, describe and create visual, rhythmic, and movement patterns. Use rules which will lead to functions to sort, make patterns, and play "whats my rule?" and other games. 

* Algebraic notation and solving number sentences: Read and write expressions and number sentences using ther symbols (+, -, =).
