Numbers and Operations

MKN1 Students will connect numerals to the quantities they represent.
a. Count a number of objects up to 30.
b. Produce models for number words through ten.
c. Write numerals through 20 to label sets.
d. Sequence and identify using ordinal numbers (1st-10th).
e. Compare two or more sets of objects (1-10) and identify which set is equal to, more than, or less than the other.
f. Estimate quantities using five and ten as benchmarks. (e.g., 9 is one five and four more. It is closer to two fives or one 10 than it is to one five.).
g. Use informal strategies to share objects equally (divide) between two to three people or sets.
h. Identify coins by name and value (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter).
i. Count out pennies to buy items that together cost less than 30 cents.
j. Make fair trades involving combinations of pennies and nickels or pennies and dimes.
MKN2 Students will use representations to model addition and subtraction.
a. Use counting strategies to find out how many items are in two sets when they are combined.
b. Build number combinations up to 10 (e.g., 4 and 1, 2 and 3, 3 and 2, 4 and 1 for five) and for doubles to 10 (3 and 3 for six).
c. Use objects, pictures, numbers, or words to create, solve, and explain story problems for two numbers that are each less than 10.
MKD1 Students will pose questions, collect data, organize, and record results using objects, pictures, and picture graphs.
MKP1 Students will solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts.
a. Solve non-routine word problems using the strategy act out the problem or use objects.
b. With the use of manipulatives, solve routine word problems related to all appropriate kindergarten math standards.
MKP2 Students will investigate, develop, and evaluate mathematical arguments.
MKP3 Students will use the language of mathematics to express ideas precisely.
MKP4 Students will understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another and will apply mathematics in other content areas.
MKP5 Students will create and use pictures, manipulatives, models, and symbols to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
