Understanding Numbers!

When learning numbers your child should learn the following skills...

Rote Counting- counting out loud off of the top of their head

3 years- use number words in play, count to 5

4K- end of year count to 10

K- end of year count to 100

Counting with one to one correspondence- being able to count out groups of objects one object at a time. Touch and count at the same time. With larger groups of objects teach your child to pull one object out of the group to the side at a time as they count out loud. If they are counting large groups on paper, have them cross out the object as they count.

3+- use number words in play, count groups up to 5

4K- end of year count groups up to 10

K- end of year count groups up to 20

Identify numbers expressively (naming) and receptively (finding the number)

3 years- use number words in play, exposure to numbers, may identify numbers 1-5,

4K- end of year know numbers through 0-20

4K- subitizing to 6- this is the skill of looking at a group of items or looking at a dice and can instantly know the number without counting them out.

K- end of year know numbers through 20

1st grade- end of the year know numbers through 120

Matching numbers to groups- when given a group of objects match it to a written number

Giving groups of objects- ask your child to give you a certain number of objects or show them a number and give you that amount

Numerical order- put numbers in numerical order

Writing numbers-

4K- exposure to, tracing numbers

K-numbers through 20

1st- numbers through 120

Other Math Concepts

Skip Counting- K- will learn to count by 2's, 5's, and 10's

Shapes and Solids- K- Students will learn to classify 2-D and 3-D shapes by shape, color and size. They will also look at various attributes of shapes

1st- will dive deeper into 3-D shapes

Measurements- K &1st- students will learn linear measurement with non-standard units (ex: hand spans) and standard units (ex: inches or centimeters), as well as temperature using a thermometer, time using calendars, etc.

Place Value- 1st- Each digit in larger numbers has a value, depending on its position in the number. For example, in the number 478, the 4 is worth 4 “hundreds” (or 400), the 7 is worth 7 “tens” (or 70), and the 8 is worth 8 “ones”, or simply 8.

Math Facts (addition and subtraction)- K- Add fluently within 5. Subtraction will be introduced but mastery is not expected.

1st- Add two digit numbers and subtract within 20

Money- K- identify coins and bills and identify their worth

1st- count and add coins and bills

Telling Time- 1st- They will likely tell time to the hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, and perhaps even to 5 minutes using both digital and analog clocks.

Fractions- 1st- Fractional parts of a whole will be investigated

Patterns- K- will be expected to identify and extend simple patterns patterns (ex: ABAB, ABBA, ABC, etc.)

1st- will be expected to find and extend more complex patterns. his skill incorporates some adding and subtracting, logical thinking, etc.
