Students will analyze and evaluate the mathematical thinking and strategies of others.

PK.CM.3	Listen to solutions shared by other students
PK.CM.4	Formulate mathematically relevant questions with teacher guidance

Students will use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely.

PK.CM.5

Use appropriate mathematical terms, vocabulary, and language

Connections Strand

Students will recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics.

PK.CN.1	Recognize the presence of mathematics in their daily lives
PK.CN.2	Use counting strategies to solve problems in their daily lives
PK.CN.3	Recognize and apply mathematics to objects and pictures

Representation Strand

Students will create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.

PK.R.1	Use multiple representations, including verbal language, acting out or modeling a situation, and drawing pictures as representations
PK.R.2	Use standard and nonstandard representations

Students will use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena.

PK.R.3	Use objects to show and understand physical phenomena (e.g., guess the number of cookies in a package)
PK.R.4	Use objects to show and understand social phenomena (e.g., count and represent sharing cookies between friends)
PK.R.5	Use objects to show and understand mathematical phenomena (e.g., draw pictures to show a story problem, show number value using fingers on your hand)

Number Sense and Operations Strand

Students will understand numbers, multiple ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems.

Number Systems

PK.N.1	Count the items in a collection and know the last counting word tells how many items are in the collection (1 to 10)
PK.N.2	Count out (produce) a collection of a specified size 1 to 10
PK.N.3	Verbally count by 1’s to 10
PK.N.4	Explore the different representations of a group of objects
PK.N.5	Draw pictures or other informal symbols to represent a spoken number up to 5
PK.N.6	Draw pictures or other informal symbols to represent how many in a collection up to 5
PK.N.7	Recognize numerals (0-5)
PK.N.8	Use and understand the terms first and last

Students will understand meanings of operations and procedures, and how they relate to one another.

Operations

PK.N.9

Develop addition and subtraction readiness with sums up to 4 and subtraction involving one to four items, using manipulatives

Algebra Strand

Students will recognize, use, and represent algebraically patterns, relations, and functions.

Patterns, Relations and Functions

PK.A.1

Duplicate simple patterns using concrete objects

 Geometry Strand

Students will use visualization and spatial reasoning to analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Shapes

PK.G.1	Match shapes, first with same size and orientation, then with different sizes and orientation
PK.G.2	Informally play with solids (e.g., building blocks)

Measurement Strand

Students will determine what can be measured and how, using appropriate methods and formulas.

Units of Measurement

PK.M.1	Develop language such as bigger, longer, and taller to discuss length
PK.M.2	Relate specific times such as day and night

 Statistics and Probability Strand

Students will collect, organize, display, and analyze data.

Organization and Display of Data

PK.S.1	Sort and organize objects by one attribute (e.g., color, size, or shape)
PK.S.2	Use physical objects to make graphs

Analysis of Data

PK.S.3	Count and compare groups formed (quantify groups formed)
PK.S.4	Describe the attributes of objects
