Standard(s):
3. Data, Statistics, and Probability
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.B. Measurement & Data: Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.) (CCSS: K.MD.B.3)
Group objects into categories to help make sense of problems. (MP1)
Abstract individual objects into new conceptual groups. (MP2)
Choose appropriate representations of objects and categories. (MP5)
Inquiry Questions
How can numbers of objects be represented to make comparisons?
How can objects be categorized in different ways?
How can an object’s attributes determine if it does not belong with other objects in a group?
Coherence Connections
This expectation supports the major work of the grade.
In preschool, students use differences in attributes to make comparisons.
In kindergarten, this expectation supports the work of counting and comparing numbers and is part of a progression of learning how to analyze categorical data.
In Grade 1, students organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
Category, classify, chart, tally mark
