K.CN.3 Recognize and apply mathematics to objects and pictures

K.R. Representation

Students will create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
K.R.1 Use multiple representations, including verbal language, acting out or modeling a situation, and drawing pictures as representations
K.R.2 Use standard and nonstandard representations
Students will use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena.
K.R.3 Use objects to show and understand physical phenomena (e.g., guess the number of cookies in a package)
K.R.4 Use objects to show and understand social phenomena (e.g., count and represent sharing cookies between friends)
K.R.5 Use objects to show and understand mathematical phenomena (e.g., draw pictures to show a story problem, show number value using fingers on your hand)
- Fractions: Identify halves, thirds, fourths (Kindergarten - L.1)
- Fractions: Equal parts (Kindergarten - L.2)

K.N Number Sense and Operations

Students will understand numbers, multiple ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems.
Number Systems
K.N.1 Count the items in a collection and know the last counting word tells how many items are in the collection (1 to 10)
K.N.2 Count out (produce) a collection of a specified size 1 to 10
K.N.3 Numerically label a data set of 1 to 5
K.N.4 Verbally count by 1's to 20
K.N.5 Verbally count backwards from 10
K.N.6 Represent collections with a finger pattern up to 10
K.N.7 Draw pictures or other informal symbols to represent a spoken number up to 10
K.N.8 Draw pictures or other informal symbols to represent how many in a collection up to 10
K.N.9 Write numbers 1-10 to represent a collection
- Numbers and counting up to 10: Names of numbers up to 10 (Kindergarten - C.10)
- Numbers and counting up to 20: Names of numbers (Kindergarten - D.9)
K.N.10 Visually determine how many more or less, and then using the verbal counting sequence, match and count 1-10
