The Common Core in Wyoming

PK.NCQ The understanding that numbers represent quantities and have ordinal properties (number words represent a rank order, particular size, or position in a list).

• PK.NCQ.1 Recognizes numbers and quantities in the everyday environment.

• PK.NCQ.2 Recites numbers in the correct order and understands that numbers come "before" or "after" one another.

• PK.NCQ.3 Associates quantities and the names of numbers with written numerals.

  • Represent numbers with pictures - up to 3 (P-A.9)
  • Represent numbers with pictures - up to 5 (P-B.12)
  • Represent numbers - up to 10 (P-C.13)
  • Represent numbers - up to 20 (P-D.7)

• PK.NCQ.4 Uses one-to-one counting and subitizing (identifying the number of objects without counting) to determine quantity.

  • Count pictures - up to 3 (P-A.3)
  • Count dots - up to 3 (P-A.4)
  • Count shapes - up to 3 (P-A.5)
  • Count pictures - up to 5 (P-B.3)
  • Count dots - up to 5 (P-B.4)
  • Count shapes in rows - up to 5 (P-B.5)
  • Count pictures - up to 10 (P-C.3)
  • Count dots - up to 10 (P-C.4)
  • Count shapes in rows - up to 10 (P-C.5)
  • Count pictures - up to 20 (P-D.2)
  • Count dots - up to 20 (P-D.3)
  • Count shapes - up to 20 (P-D.4)

• PK.NCQ.5 Uses the number name of the last object counted to represent the number of objects in the set.

  • Represent numbers with pictures - up to 3 (P-A.9)
  • Represent numbers with pictures - up to 5 (P-B.12)
  • Represent numbers - up to 10 (P-C.13)
  • Represent numbers - up to 20 (P-D.7)

PK.NRO The use of numbers to describe relationships and solve problems.

• PK.NRO.1 Uses a range of strategies, such as counting, subitizing ("seeing" how many objects without counting), or matching, to compare quantity in two sets of objects and describes the comparison with terms, such as "more," "less," "greater than," "fewer," or "equal to."

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

• PK.NRO.2 Recognizes that numbers (or sets of objects) can be combined or separated to make another number through the grouping of objects.

  • Add with pictures - sums up to 5 (K-J.6)
  • Addition sentences up to 5 - which model matches? (K-J.7)
  • Add two numbers - sums up to 5 (K-J.10)
  • Make a number using addition - sums up to 5 (K-J.11)
  • Subtract with pictures - numbers up to 5 (K-L.3)
  • Subtract - numbers up to 5 (K-L.6)

• PK.NRO.3 Identifies the number of items in a set that is created when items are combined or separated.

  • Add with pictures - sums up to 5 (K-J.6)
  • Subtract - numbers up to 5 (K-L.6)

PK.GSS The understanding of shapes, their properties, and how objects are related to one another. The recognition of patterns, sequencing, and critical thinking skills necessary to predict and classify objects in a pattern.

• PK.GSS.1 Recognizes and names common shapes–their parts and attributes.

  • Squares (P-K.4)
  • Circles, squares, and triangles (P-K.6)
  • Name the solid shape (P-L.2)

• PK.GSS.2 Combines and separates shapes to make other shapes.

• PK.GSS.3 Compares objects in size and shape.

  • Long and short (P-I.1)
  • Tall and short (P-I.2)
  • Wide and narrow (P-I.3)
  • Light and heavy (P-I.4)
  • Holds more or less (P-I.5)
  • Compare size, weight, and capacity (P-I.6)

• PK.GSS.4 Can follow directions or name positions of objects, such as "up," "down," "in front," "behind," "between," "next to," and "under."

  • 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)
  • Above and below (P-F.6)

• PK.GSS.5 Sorts, classifies, and serializes (puts in a pattern) objects, such as by color, shape, and size.

  • Different (P-G.1)
  • Same (P-G.2)
  • Same and different (P-G.3)
  • Classify shapes by color (P-G.4)

• PK.GSS.6 Recognizes, duplicates, and extends simple patterns.

  • Shape patterns (K-I.3)
  • Complete a pattern (K-I.5)
  • Find the next row in a growing pattern (K-I.8)

• PK.GSS.7 Creates patterns through the repetition of a unit.

  • Complete a pattern (K-I.5)
  • Find the next row in a growing pattern (K-I.8)

PK.MC The understanding of attributes and relative properties of objects as related to size, capacity, and area.

• PK.MC.1 Compares and describes objects using attributes of length, weight, and size (bigger, longer, taller, heavier).

  • Long and short (P-I.1)
  • Tall and short (P-I.2)
  • Wide and narrow (P-I.3)
  • Light and heavy (P-I.4)
  • Holds more or less (P-I.5)
  • Compare size, weight, and capacity (P-I.6)

• PK.MC.2 Orders objects by size or length.

• PK.MC.3 Uses nonstandard and standard techniques and tools to measure and compare.

  • Measure length with objects (K-U.7)

• PK.MC.4 Sorts objects by count (more or less).
