What We Are Learning Quarter 3
KMA.A.5 explain the concepts of addition, subtraction, and equality and use these concepts to solve real-life problems within 10 (K.NR.5)
5.a compose (put together) and decompose (break apart) numbers up to 10 using objects and drawings (K.NR.5.1)
KMA.A.2 use count sequences within 100 to count forward and backward in sequence (K.NR.2) (ongoing)
2.a count forward to 100 by tens and ones and backward from 20 by ones (K.NR.2.1)
2.b count forward beginning from any number within 100 and count backward from any number within 20 (K.NR.2.2)
KMA.B.6 explain, extend, and create repeating patterns with a repetition, not exceeding four; describe patterns involving the passage of time (K.PAR.6) (ongoing)
6.a create, extend, and describe repeating patterns with numbers and shapes, and explain the rationale for the pattern (K.PAR.6.1)
6.b describe patterns involving the passage of time using words and phrases related to actual events (e.g., now, later, yesterday, today, morning, evening, day of the week) (K.PAR.6.2)

KMA.A.5 – Addition, Subtraction, and Equality (Within 10)
KMA.A.5 – Addition, Subtraction, and Equality (Within 10)
Goal: Help children understand adding means putting together, subtracting means taking away, and equality means the same amount.
Compose & Decompose Numbers (up to 10)
Toy Count Game
Use small toys or blocks. Ask your child to make a number (e.g., 7) in different ways:
“Can you show 7 using 5 and 2? What about 3 and 4?”
Snack Math
Give your child a small snack (crackers, grapes).
Addition: “You have 4 crackers. If I give you 2 more, how many now?”
Subtraction: “You have 6 crackers. If you eat 1, how many are left?”
Drawing Numbers
Ask your child to draw circles or dots to show numbers and break them apart (e.g., 8 = 5 and 3).
KMA.A.2 – Counting Sequences Within 100
Goal: Count forward and backward with confidence
Counting Forward & Backward
Counting Forward & Backward
Count While Moving:
Count steps, jumps, or claps up to 100 by ones or tens.Backward Countdown:
Count backward from 20 before bedtime or before a game starts.Start Anywhere:
Say a number like 37 and ask your child to count forward from there.Car Ride Counting:
Count road signs, houses, or trees by ones or tens.Number Line Walk:
Write numbers on paper, place them on the floor, and walk forward or backward.
KMA.B.6 – Patterns (K.PAR.6)
Goal: Recognize, extend, and explain repeating patterns and time patterns
Repeating Patterns (Up to 4 Repeats)
Repeating Patterns (Up to 4 Repeats)
Household Patterns:
Make patterns using socks, utensils, or toys (e.g., spoon–fork–spoon–fork).Snack Patterns:
Create edible patterns (apple–cracker–apple–cracker).Sound & Movement Patterns:
Clap–stomp–clap–stomp or snap–clap patterns.Explain the Pattern:
Ask: “What comes next? How do you know?”
Patterns of Time
Patterns of Time
Daily Schedule Talk:
Use words like morning, later, today, yesterday during routines.Calendar Time:
Talk about days of the week and what happens on each day.Before & After:
Ask questions like:
“What do we do before dinner?”
“What comes after school?”Story Time Reflection:
After reading, ask your child to describe what happened first, next, and last.
