PK.1 Students Develop Number Sense and Use Numbers and Number Relationships in Problem-Solving Situations and Communicate the Reasoning Used in Solving These Problems.
PK.2 Students use Algebraic Methods to Explore, Model, and Describe Patterns and Functions Involving Numbers, Shapes, Data, and Graphs in Problem-solving Situations and Communicate the Reasoning Used in Solving These Problems.
PK.3 Students Use Data Collection and Analysis, Statistics, and Probability in Problem-solving Situations and Communicate the Reasoning Used in Solving These Problems.
  • PK.3-A Preschool learners collect interesting objects and information found in their home, classroom, and nature and label or describe those collections.
  • PK.3-B Preschool learners begin to experiment with words that describe relationships such as more, less, most, same, fewer and none.
  • PK.3-C Preschool learners begin to understand that symbols may be used to represent objects and events.
  • PK.3-D Preschool learners begin to use tables, charts and graphs in a systematic manner to represent meaningful information and relationships.
  • PK.3-E Preschool learners begin to interpret information presented in graph form.
  • PK.3-F Preschool learners begin to make guesses or predictions based on their observations and information available to them.
  • PK.3-G Preschool learners begin to develop and use systematic approaches to problem solving as they test out possibilities and find solutions.
PK.4 Students Use Geometric Concepts, Properties, and Relationships in Problemsolving Situations and Communicate the Reasoning Used in Solving These Problems.
PK.5 Students Use a Variety of Tools and Techniques to Measure, Apply the Results in Problem-solving Situations, and Communicate the Reasoning Used in Solving These Problems.
  • PK.5-A Preschool learners show an understanding of the concept of time, beginning with the recognition of time as a sequence of events that relates to their daily lives.
  • PK.5-B Preschool learners begin to use approximate measures of familiar objects (width of your finger, temperature of a room, weight of a gallon of milk) to develop a sense of measurement.
  • PK.5-C Preschool learners show an increasing awareness of conventional measurement tools and methods.
