PK.1 Number and Number Sense

PK.1.a Count to 20 or more
PK.1.b Count a group (set/collection) of three to five objects by touching each object as it is counted and saying the correct number (one-to-one correspondence)
- Count to 3: Count objects (up to 3) (Pre-K - B.3)
- Count to 5: Count objects (up to 5) (Pre-K - C.3)
PK.1.c Count the items in a collection of one to five items and know the last counting word tells "how many"
- Count to 3: Represent numbers (up to 3) (Pre-K - B.4)
- Count to 5: Represent numbers (up to 5) (Pre-K - C.4)
PK.1.d Compare two groups (sets/collections) of matched objects (less than five) and describe the groups using the terms more, fewer, or same

PK.2 Computation

PK.2.a Describe changes in groups (sets/ collections) by using more when groups of objects (sets) are combined (added together)
- Comparing: Compare in a chart (fewer or more) (Pre-K - F.2)
PK.2.b Describe changes in groups (sets/ collections) by using fewer when groups of objects (sets) are separated (taken away)
- Comparing: Compare in a chart (fewer or more) (Pre-K - F.2)

PK.3 Measurement

PK.3.a Recognize attributes of length by using the terms longer or shorter when comparing two objects
- Size: Long and short (Pre-K - I.1)
- Size: Tall and short (Pre-K - I.2)
PK.3.b Know the correct names for the standard tools used for telling time and temperature; and measuring length, capacity, and weight (clocks, calendars, thermometers, rulers, measuring cups, and scales)
PK.3.c Use the appropriate vocabulary when comparing temperatures, e.g., hot, cold
PK.3.d Use appropriate vocabulary when describing duration of time, e.g., hour, day, week, month, morning, afternoon, night, day
- Time: Seasons (Kindergarten - M.5)
- Time: A.M. and P.M. (Kindergarten - M.6)

PK.4 Geometry

PK.4.a Match and sort shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, and square)
- Shapes: Identify circles, squares and triangles (Pre-K - A.1)
- Shapes: Identify squares and rectangles (Pre-K - A.2)
PK.4.b Describe how shapes are similar and different
PK.4.c Recognize shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, and square) by pointing to the appropriate figure when the teacher names the shape
- Shapes: Identify circles, squares and triangles (Pre-K - A.1)
PK.4.d Describe the position of objects in relation to other objects and themselves using the terms next to, beside, above, below, under, over, top, and bottom

PK.5 Data Collection and Statistics

PK.5.a Collect information to answer questions of interest to children
- Data and graphs: Making graphs (Kindergarten - O.1)
PK.5.b Use descriptive language to compare data in objects and picture graphs by identifying which is more, fewer, or the same

PK.6 Patterns and Relationships

PK.6.a Sort and classify objects according to one or two attributes (color, size, shape, and texture)
PK.6.b Identify and explore simple patterns, i.e., AB, AB; red, blue, red, blue
- Patterns: Similar patterns (Kindergarten - H.1)
PK.6.c Use patterns to predict relationships between objects, i.e., the blue shape follows the yellow shape, the triangle follows the square
- Patterns: Complete missing parts of patterns (Kindergarten - H.2)
