Kindergarten: October Unit
Numbers and Shapes  (@ 20 days)

Overview
View the Video Introduction. (Counting Railcars Using Symbols) The October Unit focuses on learning critical mathematics skills and includes lessons on number sense and geometry. Kindergarten students will experience math counting activities, reading and writing numbers to 10 and then to 30, and sorting objects by size, color, and shape. October also focuses on 2 dimensional shapes.  Students will better understand counting by ones, and reading and writing two digit numbers to 30.

Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

  • Numbers can be represented and communicated in different ways. Becoming familiar with geometric shapes, spatial vocabulary, numbers in graphic representations, and beginning measurement are important foundational concepts.

Essential Questions are the most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • What geometric shapes are found in nature? Are shapes flat (plane) or bulky (dimensional)?

  • How can pictures show numbers and how they relate to each other?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills
Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated at this grade level.
 High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills is expected at this grade level.
 Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.

 

Standard 1: Number Sense - October

Count number 1 – 30.
 Read and write numbers 1 – 20

Make one-to-one correspondence matches numerals with 10-20 objects (number sets).
Order numbers 1 – 30.

Recognize and name 2 coins

Standard 4: Geometry - October
 Recognize, name and draw three 2-dimensional shapes.
Demonstrate knowledge of spatial terminology.

Parents
You can support your kindergartener in mathematics at home by identifying the geometric shapes found in nature and in the house. Examples are circle knobs and buttons, square table legs and tiles, oval and rectangle picture frames, etc. Have your student step off the length of the kitchen or sidewalk with his/her own feet. Sort M & M’s (or other such candy or objects) by color, then line them up like a bar graph to see which color has the most. These simple activities will go a long way to support what your child is learning in class in mathematics.
