1.1 The student will count objects in a given set containing between 1 and 100 objects and write the
corresponding numeral.

Activities

1. Use http://www.abc.net.au/countusin/games/game1.htm to play counting games.


1.2 The student will group a collection of up to 100 objects into tens and ones and write the corresponding
numeral to develop an understanding of place value.

Activities

1. The students will use the Kidspiration Using Tens and Ones template to determine the number of tens and
ones for each picture. They will also determine the total number associated with the blocks. As an extension,
the students could make their won pictures given a total number. See template below.




















1.3 The student will count forward by ones, fives, and tens to 100, by twos to 20, and backward from 20.

Activities


1.4 The student will recognize and write numerals 0 through 100.

Activities


1.5 The student will identify the ordinal positions first through tenth, using an ordered set of objects.

Activities


1.6 The student will identify and represent the concepts of one-half and one-fourth, using appropriate
materials or a drawing.

Activities


1.7 The student, given a familiar situation involving magnitude, will
a) select a reasonable magnitude from three given quantities: a one-digit numeral, a two-digit numeral, and
a three-digit numeral (e.g. 5, 50, and 500); and
b) explain the reasonableness of his/her choice.

Activities


1.8 The student will recall basic addition facts - i.e., sums to 10 or less - and the corresponding subtraction
facts.

Activities

1. Students can create a picture using a KidPix Math Facts template. See template and example below.




























1.9 The student will create and solve story and picture problems involving one-step solutions, using basic
addition and subtraction facts.

Activities


1.10 The student will
a) identify the number of pennies equivalent to a nickel, a dime, and a quarter; and

Activities


1.12 The student will use nonstandard units to measure length and weight.

Activities


1.13 The student will compare the volumes of two given containers by using concrete materials (e.g., jelly
beans, sand, water, rice).

Activities


1.14 The student will compare the weights of two objects, using a balance scale.

Activities


1.15 The student will describe the proximity of objects in space (near, far, close by, below, above, up, down,
beside, and next to).

Activities


1.16 The student will draw, describe, and sort plane geometric figures (triangle, square, rectangle, and

Activities

1. Use the following websites to discuss quilts and shapes found in quilts.

(e.g., recording daily temperature, lunch count, attendance, and favorite ice cream), using tables, picture
graphs, and object graphs.

Activities

1. Graphing with Eric Carle Characters - Read five Eric Carle books to the class. Discuss the characters of
each book. Survey the students to find out their favorite character of those five books. Using Microsoft Excel
make a graph as a class. See sample. Give each student a copy of the graph so they can answer questions
using the Kidspiration Favorite Eric Carle Characters template.


























1.19 The student will interpret information displayed in a picture or object graph, using the vocabulary
more, less, fewer, greater than, less than, and equal to.

Activities


1.20 The student will sort and classify concrete objects according to one or more attributes, including
color, size, shape, and thickness.

Activities

1. Alike and Different Shapes - Read the book Round as a Mooncake and discuss the shapes in the book.
