Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
-
In order to communicate
estimates, we must be able to understand and use the language of math.
-
A
sense of order is necessary in counting.
-
A sense of number is
necessary to find reasonable estimates.
Essential Questions
are the most important “big picture” questions students should
be able to answer after completing learning activities.
-
How can I learn and
apply estimation vocabulary?
-
Why is it important to
learn about estimation?
-
What is the best
strategy for making estimates?

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 - January
 Make reasonable estimates on simple activities.
Read, write
and count numbers 1 – 50.
 Identify coins: penny, nickel, and dime.
 Apply and communicate a strategy demonstrating number sense and estimation
to solve problems.
Order numbers 1 – 50.
Make one-to-one correspondences (numerals to objects).
Match numerals with objects (number sets).

Parents
How your Kindergartener has grown in mathematical concepts by
this point in the school year! You can continue to support your child by
including him/her in everyday activities that involve counting, adding, and
subtraction. Use pennies, beans, dice, and dominoes to provide lots of
practice adding and subtracting actual objects. These activities will help
your child grasp the important concepts of composing and decomposing numbers
that lead directly to formal addition and subtraction. You'll be working
hard, but it will feel like fun to you and your child!
