K.A Algebraic Reasoning: Patterns and Functions

K.A.1 Sort and classify objects by attributes including size, shape, color, texture, orientation, position and use, and explain the reason for each sort.
K.A.2 Describe and make comparisons of qualitative and quantitative changes of a given pattern using terms such as warmer, softer, more, one more, less, one less, bigger, smaller, longer and shorter.
K.A.3 Recognize, reproduce, extend and create repeating patterns using movement, sounds, color, shapes, numbers and textures.
- Patterns: Similar patterns (Kindergarten - H.1)
- Patterns: Complete missing parts of patterns (Kindergarten - H.2)
K.A.4 Identify and extend visual, auditory and physical patterns to make predictions.
- Patterns: Complete missing parts of patterns (Kindergarten - H.2)
- Patterns: Growing patterns (Kindergarten - H.3)

K.N Numerical and Proportional Reasoning

K.N.1 Represent quantities of up to 30 objects in a set.
K.N.2 Compare sets of up to 30 objects and use the terms more, less or the same to compare the two sets and identify a set with one more or one less than a given set.
K.N.3 Order sets of up to 30 objects from least to greatest.
- Sorting, ordering, and classifying: Put numbers up to 10 in order (Kindergarten - N.6)
- Sorting, ordering, and classifying: Put numbers up to 30 in order (Kindergarten - N.7)
K.N.4 Identify the ordinal position of objects: first, second, third, fourth, fifth and last.
- Counting and number patterns: Ordinal numbers (First grade - A.15)
K.N.5 Use a variety of models and familiar object to compare two parts of a whole and describe the parts as being closer to a whole or closer to very little.
- Fractions: Equal parts (Kindergarten - L.2)
K.N.6 Use a variety of models and familiar objects to:
K.N.6.a Identify one whole and one half of an object.
- Fractions: Identify halves, thirds, fourths (Kindergarten - L.1)
K.N.6.b Recognize a half and put two halves of an object together to make a whole.
- Fractions: Identify halves, thirds, fourths (Kindergarten - L.1)
K.N.6.c Form a whole from two smaller sets that have equal amounts.
- Fractions: Equal parts (Kindergarten - L.2)
K.N.7 Count by rote to at least 30.
K.N.8 Count and group up to 30 objects by tens.
K.N.9 Identify the numerals 1-30 and match each numeral to an appropriate set of objects.
K.N.10 Act out and solve addition and subtraction story problems that reflect real-world experiences and contextual problems using sets of up to 10 objects and describe the strategy or reasoning used to solve a problem.
K.N.11 Write the number sentences that correspond to story problems using addition, subtraction and equals symbols (+, -, =) correctly.
K.N.12 Estimate the amount of objects in a set using 10 as a benchmark and then count to determine if the amount is more or less than 10.
- Numbers and counting up to 10: Represent numbers up to 10 (Kindergarten - C.2)
- Estimating: Estimate to the nearest ten (First grade - H.1)
K.N.13 Identify and name pennies and dimes.
- Money: Coin names - penny through quarter (Kindergarten - R.1)
K.N.14 Count pennies and trade pennies for objects.
- Money: Count money - pennies only (Kindergarten - R.3)

K.G Geometry and Measurement

K.G.1 Identify and describe familiar shapes (triangles, squares, rectangles and circles) and solids (cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones and prisms) in the environment.
K.G.2 Compare and sort familiar shapes and solids in the environment and contextual situations.
K.G.3 Construct small sets of shapes and solids using a variety of materials.
K.G.4 Describe location, direction, and position of objects or parts of objects, using terms such as under/over, inside/outside, next to/near, top/bottom, in front of, first and last.
K.G.5 Complete simple shape and jigsaw puzzles and explain the reasoning used to complete the puzzle and solve the problem.
K.G.6 Recognize events that reoccur (at specific times of the day or week).
K.G.7 Locate yesterday, today, and tomorrow on a calendar to sequence events and use terms such as before and after to compare events.
K.G.8 Use nonstandard units, physical referents (such as a finger) or everyday objects such as links, Unifix cubes or blocks to compare, estimate and order measures of length, area, capacity, weight and temperature and describe the reasoning and strategies used.
- Measurement: Read a thermometer (First grade - M.1)
- Geometry: Area (Second grade - T.9)
K.G.9 Describe and order small sets of familiar objects by size, length or area using comparative language such as more, bigger, longer, shorter and taller.
K.G.10 Use a balance scale to compare the weight of two objects and identify which is heavier.
- Measurement: Light and heavy (Kindergarten - Q.3)

K.D Working with Data: Probability and Statistics

K.D.1 Pose questions about objects and events in the environment that can be used to guide the collection of data.
K.D.2 Collect data, record and the results using real graphs and picture graphs.
- Data and graphs: Making graphs (Kindergarten - O.1)
K.D.3 Arrange information in a systematic way using counting, sorting, lists and graphic organizers.
K.D.4 Describe data using the terms more, less and the same.
K.D.5 Identify and extend patterns from organized data to make predictions.
K.D.6 Describe the likelihood of the future occurrence of events based on patterns and personal experiences using terms such as likely, unlikely or certainly.
K.D.7 Engage in simple probability activities and discuss the results.
- Probability: More or less likely (Kindergarten - P.1)
