Counting and Cardinality

Know numbers

Compare numbers

Count and tell objects

Toddlers 16-36 Months / Ages 3 to 4 years / Ages 4 to 5 years / Ages 5 & Kindergarten
·  Count to at least 10 from memory.
·  Begin counting small groups of items (up to five).
·  Recognize and name a few numerals.
·  Understand the concepts of “one” and “two,” such as by following directions to take one cracker. / ·  Identify by sight how many are in a small group of items, up to three.
·  Understand that the whole is larger than one of its parts (for example, an apple is larger than an apple slice).
·  Count to 10 and beyond by rote. Count up to five items. Point to objects while counting. / ·  Count to 20 and beyond. Count 10 or more objects accurately.
·  Give the next number in the sequence 1 through 10.
·  Count out 10 items; may use fingers, body parts, or other counters, as used in the child’s home culture. Count and group things by number.
·  Compare groups of up to 10 objects.
·  Identify by sight how many are in a small group of objects, up to four. / ·  Count up to 20 objects to understand how many objects there are.
·  Remember and write numbers to 20.
·  Count to 100.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Understanding addition as putting together and adding to; and subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

Toddlers 16-36 Months / Ages 3 to 4 years / Ages 4 to 5 years / Ages 5 & Kindergarten
Understanding concept of 1, 2, etc. / Understanding a whole is larger than parts (apple/slices)
·  Find the total sum of small groups of items.
Identify 4 objects/pictures that are the same – take objects that are different out of group. / ·  Find the sum when joining two sets of up to five objects.
·  Create own patterns with a variety of materials. Describe what the pattern is. / ·  Add and subtract numbers up to 10 using objects or drawings.
Compare 2 groups of objects to decide which more/less is.

Measurement and Data

Describe/compare measurable attributes.

Classify objects and count the number of objects in categories.

Toddlers 16-36 Months / Ages 3 to 4 years / Ages 4 to 5 years / Ages 5 & Kindergarten
·  Explore measuring tools, such as measuring cups, or a ruler.
·  Identify quantity and comparisons, such as all, some, none. Use comparison words correctly, such as bigger and smaller, more and less. / Understanding the whole is larger than its parts (apple/slices).
·  Compare two objects by length, weight or size.
·  Use gestures or words to make comparisons (larger, smaller, shorter, taller).
·  Compare size by sight, feel and comparing to hands, feet, etc. (visual and tactile math).
·  Identify up to four objects or pictures that are the same. Take objects or pictures that are different out of the group.
Sort/describe items by size/color/shape. / ·  Use measuring tools in play (such as ruler, measuring cups, or parts of the body).
·  Compare two objects using comparison words such as smaller, faster and heavier.
·  Describe objects using size words (big, small, tall, short).
·  Compare size (such as, “I’m as tall as the yellow bookshelf.”)
·  Order three objects by one characteristic (such as from smallest to largest).
·  Match and sort similar shapes (circles, squares, triangles).
Compare groups of up to 10 objects. / ·  Compare two groups of objects to decide which is more or less, or if they are equal.
Sort & classify objects by more than one factor (size, color)

Toddlers 16-36 Months / Ages 3 to 4 years / Ages 4 to 5 years / Ages 5 & Kindergarten
·  Identify two geometric shapes, such as a circle and a square.
·  Match simple flat shapes (circles, squares, triangles).
·  Follow simple directions for position, such as up, down, in or on. / ·  Understand words that tell where things are (such as behind, under, in, on). Use these words to identify locations.
·  Sort and describe items by size, color and/or shape.
·  Match simple flat shapes (circles, squares, triangles). / ·  Work puzzles with up to 10 pieces.
·  Follow simple directions for positions (beside, next to, between, etc.)
Match & sort similar shapes (circles, squares, triangles).
Create own patterns with a variety of materials – describe pattern. / ·  Sort and classify objects by more than one factor (such as shape and color, or size and shape, etc.).
·  Correctly use position words (such as beside, inside, under, etc.)
·  Name shapes and recognize shapes in the environment.
