Counting & Cardinality: Associate a quantity with written numerals up to 5 and begin to write numbers. P.CC.E

  • 9

    Associate a number of objects within a written numeral up to at least 3.P.CC.E.9

  • 10

    Recognize and, with support or assistive technology, write some numerals or an approximation of a numeral up to at least 3.P.CC.E.10

Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Understand addition as adding to and understand subtraction as taking away from. P.OA.A

  • 1

    Represent addition and subtraction in different ways, such as fingers, objects, and drawings, to add “one more” or “take away one.” (EE.K.OA.1).P.OA.A.1

  • 2

    Solve addition and subtraction problems set in simple contexts. Add and subtract up to at least two, to or from, a given number to find a sum or difference up to at least 5.P.OA.A.2

    1. a

      Examples: “If you have one block and I give you one more, how many will you have?” “If you have three cookies and eat two, how many will you have left?”P.OA.A.2.a

  • 3

    Begin to use counting on (adding 1 or 2, for example) from the larger number for addition.P.OA.A.3

Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Understand simple patterns.P.OA.B

  • 4

    Recognize a simple pattern by touching, pointing, or saying the pattern in sequence without skipping elements.P.OA.B.4

  • 5

    Duplicate simple patterns in the same location as demonstrated.P.OA.B.5

    1. a

      Extend simple patterns. Example: Copy an ABAB pattern and extend it to ABABAB.P.OA.B.5.a

  • 6

    Identify the core unit of sequentially repeating patterns, such as color in a sequence of alternating red and blue blocks.P.OA.B.6

Measurement & Data: Measure objects by their various attributes using standard and nonstandard measurement and use differences in attributes to make comparisons.P.MD.A

  • 1

    Indicate an understanding of comparative language, such as shortest, heavier, biggest, or later.P.MD.A.1

  • 2

    Compare or order up to at least three objects based on their measurable attributes, such as height or weight.P.MD.A.2

  • 3

    Indicate an understanding (e.g., by naming or sorting) of differences of shapes in terms of length of sides, number of sides, and number of angles/corners. P.G.A.1

  • 2

    Identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) having the same orientation and size.P.G.A.2

  • 3

    Sort two-and three-dimensional shapes and objects in different sizes based on a countable or measurable attribute (e.g., number of sides, corners).P.G.A.3

  • 4

    Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes.P.G.A.4

Geometry: Explore the positions of objects in space.P.G.B
