Kindergarten Math Unit 4

Big Idea:

Students will identify coins (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter). Students will learn ways to earn income; differentiate between money received as income or a gift; list simple skills required for jobs; distinguish between wants and needs;. Count by 1s (orally) to 80. Students will count backwards from 20. Students will solve addition problems up to 10.

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

K.2(A) [Supporting] count forward and backward to at least 20 with and without objects

K.3(A) [Supporting] model the action of joining to represent addition and the action of separating to represent subtraction

K.8(A) [Supporting] Collect, sort, and organize data into two or three categories.

Focus TEKS

K.3(B) Solve word problems using objects and drawings to find sums up to 10 and differences within 10

K.3(C) Explain strategies used to solve problems involving adding and subtracting within 10 using spoken words, concrete and pictorial models, and number sentences

K.4 [Supporting] Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to identify coins in order to recognize the need for monetary transactions. The student is expected to identify U.S. coins by name, including pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters

K.9(A) [Supporting] identify ways to earn income

K.9(B) [Supporting] Differentiate between money received as income and money received as gifts

K.9(C) [Supporting] List simple skills required for jobs

K.9(D) [Supporting] Distinguish between wants and needs and identify income as a source to meet one’s want and needs

Ongoing TEKS

K.2(I) [Readiness] compose and decompose numbers up to 10 with objects and pictures

K.5 [Supporting] recite numbers up to at least 100 by ones and tens beginning with any given number

K.8(A) [Supporting] Collect, sort, and organize data into two or three categories

K.8(B) [Readiness] Use data to create real-object and picture graphs

K.8(C) [Readiness] Draw conclusions from real-object and picture graph

Student Learning Targets:

• I will name the 4 coins. (penny, nickel, dime, quarter).
• I will label the 4 coins. (penny, nickel, dime, quarter).
• I will name ways to earn money and receive money.
• I will distinguish between using money for wants and needs.
• I will list simple skills required for certain jobs.
• I will count from 0-80 by saying each number out loud.
• I will model the act of subtracting within 5.
• I will solve word problems using objects and drawings to find sums up to 10 by subtracting.
• I will organize data into groups for graphing.

Essential Questions:

• Can you identify the U.S. coins by name? (penny, nickel, dime, quarter)
• What are ways that income can be earned?
• What is the difference between earning money and receiving money as a gift?
• What is the difference between a want and a need?
• How do you identify what skills are needed for a job?
• How can you show subtraction as separating?
• How can you show differences within 5?
• How can you solve problems using different strategies?
