PK.1 The child will count with understanding and use numbers to tell how many, describe order, and compare.

• PK.1.a Count forward to 20 or more. Count backward from 5.

  • One less with pictures - up to 5 (K-B.17)
  • Count forward - up to 10 (K-C.28)
  • Count forward - up to 20 (K-D.12)
  • Count on ten frames - up to 30 (K-F.1)

• PK.1.b Count a group (set/collection) of five to ten objects by touching each object as it is counted and saying the correct number (one-to-one correspondence).

  • Count pictures - up to 3 (P-A.3)
  • Learn to count - up to 5 (P-B.2)
  • Count pictures - up to 5 (P-B.3)
  • Learn to count - up to 10 (P-C.2)
  • Count pictures - up to 10 (P-C.3)

• PK.1.c Count the items in a collection of one to ten items and know the last counting word tells "how many."

  • Learn to count - up to 3 (P-A.2)
  • Learn to count - up to 5 (P-B.2)
  • Learn to count - up to 10 (P-C.2)

• PK.1.d Compare two groups (sets/collections) of matched objects (zero through ten in each set) and describe the groups using the terms more, fewer, or same.

  • More (P-E.1)
  • Fewer (P-E.2)
  • Fewer and more - compare by counting (P-E.4)
  • Fewer and more - compare in a mixed group (P-E.5)

• PK.1.e Use ordinal numbers (first through fifth) when describing the position of objects or groups of children in a sequence.

PK.2 The child will recognize change in groups (sets/ collections) when objects are both added to and taken away from the groups (sets/collections).

• PK.2.a Describe changes in groups (sets/ collections) by using more when groups of objects (sets) are combined (added together).

  • Add with pictures - sums up to 5 (K-J.6)
  • Add with pictures - sums up to 10 (K-K.8)

• PK.2.b Describe changes in groups (sets/ collections) by using fewer when groups of objects (sets) are separated (taken away).

  • Subtract with pictures - numbers up to 5 (K-L.3)
  • Subtract with pictures - numbers up to 10 (K-M.3)

PK.3 The child will identify and compare the attributes of length, capacity, weight, time, and temperature.

• PK.3.a Recognize attributes of length by using the terms longer or shorter when comparing two objects.

  • Long and short (P-I.1)
  • Tall and short (P-I.2)

• PK.3.b Know the correct names for the standard tools used for telling time and temperature, and for 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, and night.

  • A.M. or P.M. (K-Q.5)

PK.4 The child will describe simple geometric shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, and square) and indicate their position in relation to an individual and to other objects.

• PK.4.a Match and sort shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, and square).

  • Classify and sort by shape (P-G.6)

• PK.4.b Describe how shapes are similar and different.

  • Different (P-G.1)
  • Same (P-G.2)
  • Same and different (P-G.3)
  • Compare sides and corners (K-W.14)

• PK.4.c Recognize and name shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, and square).

  • Name the shape (P-K.1)
  • Circles (P-K.2)
  • Triangles (P-K.3)
  • Squares (P-K.4)
  • Rectangles (P-K.5)
  • Circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles (P-K.7)

• 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.

  • Inside and outside (P-F.1)
  • Left and right (P-F.2)
  • Left, middle, and right (P-F.3)
  • Top and bottom (P-F.4)
  • Top, middle, and bottom (P-F.5)
  • Above and below (P-F.6)
  • Beside and next to (P-F.7)

PK.5 The child will participate in the data gathering process in order to answer questions of interest.

• PK.5.a Collect information to answer questions of interest to children.

  • Which picture graph is correct? (K-S.1)

• PK.5.b Use descriptive language to compare data by identifying which is more, fewer, or the same in object and picture graphs.

  • Fewer and more - compare by counting (P-E.4)
  • Interpret picture graphs (K-S.2)

PK.6 The child will identify simple patterns of concrete objects and use them to recognize relationships.

• PK.6.a Sort and classify objects according to one or two attributes (color, size, shape, and texture).

  • Classify shapes by color (P-G.4)
  • Classify and sort by color (P-G.5)
  • Classify and sort by shape (P-G.6)
  • Compare size, weight, and capacity (P-I.6)

• PK.6.b Identify and explore simple patterns, i.e., AB, AB; red, blue, red, blue.

  • Color patterns (P-H.1)
  • Size patterns (P-H.2)
  • Shape patterns (P-H.3)

• PK.6.c Use patterns to predict relationships between objects, i.e., the blue shape follows the yellow shape, the triangle follows the square.

  • What comes next? (P-H.4)
