The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
K.MD.A. Measurement & Data: Describe and compare measurable attributes.
Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. (CCSS: K.MD.A.1)
Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. (CCSS: K.MD.A.2)
Make sense of their world by comparing and ordering objects by their attributes. (Entrepreneurial Skills: Inquiry/Analysis)
Be precise about meanings related to size when describing an object’s height, weight, or other attribute. (MP6)
Inquiry Questions
What does it mean for one object to be “bigger” than another?
If you are standing on a chair, how should your height be measured differently than if you were standing on the floor?
If an object is moved, does that change its size?
Coherence Connections
This expectation is in addition to the major work of the grade.
In preschool, students develop conceptions of measurable attributes of objects and comparisons based on those attributes.
In kindergarten, this expectation can contribute to students’ understandings of measurable attributes, comparison, and conservation of length, all of which connect to progressions in geometry, the number system, and to future work in ratio and proportion.
In Grade 1, students measure lengths directly and by iterating length units, and express the length of an object as a whole number of length units.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
Height, length, longer, shorter, taller, capacity, balance scale, heavier, lighter, weighs, weight, attribute
