Pacing – In the first grade level meeting or professional development day, teachers will create a pacing guide for the unit together. Teachers will backwards plan the marking period and come up with dates where they will assign each quarterly assessment question.
Standard/SWBAT and Pacing / Student Strategies / Standards Based Assessment / Activities and Resources / Reflection
  • K.CC.A.1 Count to 100 by ones and by tens *(benchmarked)
Learning Goal # 1:
Count by ones up to 10.
SLO(s):
SWBAT count by ones up to 10. / This standard is a fluency standard that builds throughout the school year. It should be reviewed daily though a classroom routine and added upon each unit. Here are some suggest routine type activities that can be implemented in your classroom.
Counting should be reinforced throughout the school day, not in isolation.
Examples:
·  Count the number of chairs in the classroom.
·  Count the number of stairs, shoes, blocks, items in the housekeeping center, etc.
·  Counting groups of ten such as “fingers or toes in the classroom” (ten fingers per student)
·  When counting orally, students should recognize the patterns that exist from 1 to 100. They should also recognize the patterns that exist when counting by 10s. The inclusion of songs, games, and dramatic play should be part of the daily curriculum.
Number Talk
Refer to Number Talks by Sherry Parrish
*It is recommended that teachers use number talks based on how the book is written. They should start from page 71 and continue through the Kindergarten section of the book (P. 71-96)

Option 2 –Last Man Standing Activity
Students play this game routine in which they count by ones to 10. The person who says ‘10’ sits down. The next person starts with ‘1’ again and play continues until there is only one person left standing.
Option 3 – Learn Zillion Counting to 20 Video

Option 4- Coherence Map Activity
The teacher will need a 100 chart or large number line and a pointer.
As a whole group, have students chant the counting sequence starting with one to thirty, using the pointer to follow the number sequence. Over time, increase the range to one to twenty, then one to 50, and then one t hundred. Eventually have a student take over the job of pointing out the numbers in the sequence. Highlight the multiples of ten using a marker or a colored screen and have students chant the counting sequence by 10s. This should be done daily.

Option 6- Read “Ten Black Dots” book by: Donald Crew
**My Math resources should not be used in isolation for this standard **
Centers-
Each center should be implemented on an ongoing basis
Teacher Center – The teacher works in a small group with 1-4 students. The teacher should play a counting game with students. Ask students to count to 10 starting at one. They should be able to count individually to 10 and also count in a circle with student one saying “1” student two saying “2” and so on.
Standards Based Problems Center – Students work in a group to solve the style of problems the assessments (Quarterly) will use to measure that standard.
Individual Center – Students work on the individual skill that they need based on their pre-test data. Achieve the Core Coherence Map should be used to guide remediation. [Achieve the Core coherence map is perfect for the individual centers and identifying task based on student areas of needs (as per each standard).
Manipulative Center – Students work on solving problems using manipulative, such as base ten blocks; Rekenreks; etc. Engage NY Module 5 Topic A Lesson 1 asks students to organize a variety of ten objects into egg cartons. This would be a good visual for students trying to grasp the concepts of our number system.
Interdisciplinary Center – Students work on math problems that interconnect with another subject. Teacher or Para will read “Ten black dots” Book by Donald Crew. Students can make a book about ten black dots. They can use bingo stampers and create one page each day. Day 1 would be a page about the number 1, Day 2 would be a page about the number 2, and so on until day 10 which would be a page about the number 10. / Task 1:
Quarterly Assessment
Task # 1
Task 2:
Teachers will agree on common classwork problems in their professional learning communities or grade level meetings. Problems should be selected that most closely match the assessments in column 5. / Engage NY

Option 2- Illustrative Mathematics https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/K/CC/A/3/tasks/400
The teacher will need a 3x3 grid with the numerals 1-9 arranged randomly (one in each box in the grid) and 2 different colored crayons, one for each child.
Two students each select a different color crayon and one number grid.
•  Player A chooses and reads a number name on the grid out loud to Player B. If Player B agrees that is the correct number name, then Player A may trace the numeral with his/her crayon.
•  Players switch roles and Player B reads a number name on the grid. If Player A agrees it has been correctly identified, then Player B traces the numeral with his/her crayon color.
•  Repeat steps (a) and (b) until one player has three numerals traced with his/her color in a row.
The object is to identify 3 numbers in a row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The winning student must confirm with the teacher by being able to read to the teacher the 3 winning numbers. This will allow for autonomy during the task but provide a check that students are actually identifying the numerals correctly in conjunction with tracing them.

Centers
Teacher Center – The teacher works in a small group with 1-4 students. The teacher should work on counting the number of objects in a set (up to 10). For example) place 4 counters on the table and ask students to write down the number of objects they see on a whiteboard. If they cannot write the numbers yet, you can have them identify the number of objects by holding up the correct number card. (Number cards are needed for the assessment and should include numbers 0 through 10)
Standards Based Problems Center – Students work in a group to solve the style of problems the assessments (Quarterly) will use to measure that standard. Students should sit in a circle. Each student should receive numeral cards 0-5 (or 0-10 once they are ready). The teacher should place manipulates in the center of the circle and ask students to hold up their number card that corresponds to the number of objects.
Individual Center – Students work on the individual skill that they need based on their pre-test data. Achieve the Core Coherence Map should be used to guide remediation. [Achieve the Core coherence map is perfect for the individual centers and identifying task based on student areas of needs (as per each standard).
Manipulative Center – Students work on solving problems using manipulative, such as base ten blocks; Rekenreks; etc . Using snap cubes and number cards have students order number cards 0 to 10. Students can build the snap cube representation of each of the numbers. For example) if I have the number 6 I will place the number card in front and then create a snap cube tower made up of 6 snap cubes.
Interdisciplinary Center – Students work on math problems that interconnect with another subject. The para or teacher could read any number counting book they have and have students draw a picture about the story. To make sure the standard is met students should draw a number of objects and connect it with a numerical value.
