Standards
What students should know and be able to do
- The student understands and applies the concepts and procedures of mathematics.
To meet this standard the student will:- understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense
- will demonstrate one-to-one correspondence by assigning one object to each of 10 objects
- will rote count from memory to 20
- will recognize the category of numbers
- understand and apply concepts and procedures from measurement
- will imitate and complete age-appropriate activities without adult prompting (e.g.. during free play, child gets out puzzle, puts it together, then puts it away)
- will place three or more objects in series according to length or size. May correct self.
- Will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects or events using at least eight different terms that describe quantity.
- Will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects or events using at least eight different terms that describe shape.
- Will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects or events using at least eight different terms that spatial relations.
- understand and apply concepts from geometric sense
- understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense
- will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects using at least five different terms that describe shape.
- will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects, people or events using at least twelve different terms that describe spatial relations
- understand and apply concepts and procedures from probability and statistics
- prerequisite skills have been addressed in previous Mathematics EALRS
- understand and apply concepts and procedures from algebraic sense
- prerequisite skills have been addressed in previous Mathematics EALR
- The student uses mathematics to define and solve problems
To meet this standard the student will:- investigate situations
- spontaneously or on request will indicate why particular solutions to problems that occur within context would or would not work
- formulate questions and define the problem
- spontaneously or on request the child will indicate why particular solutions to problems that occur within context would or would not work
- will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to:
- give reasons for inferences
- make predictions about future or hypothetical events
- determine possible causes for events
- construct solutions
- will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to:
- give reasons for inferences
- make predictions about future or hypothetical events
- determine possible causes for events
- will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to:
- investigate situations
- The student uses mathematical reasoning.
To meet this standard the student will:- analyze information
- will sort objects by attributes
- predict results and make inferences
- will use words, phrases, or sentences to do the following:
- express anticipated outcomes
- describe pretend objects, events, or people
- label own or others' affect/emotions
- describe past events
- make commands to and requests of others
- obtain information
- inform
- will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to:
- analyze information
- give reasons for inferences
- make predictions about future or hypothetical events
- determine possible causes for events
- draw conclusions and verify results
- will place three or more objects in series according to length or size
- will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to:
- give reasons for inferences
- make predictions about future or hypothetical events
- determine possible causes for events
- The student communicates knowledge and understanding in both everyday and mathematical language.
To meet this standard the student will:- gather information
- spontaneously or on request, the child will recite numbers from 1 - 20 in correct order
- when presented with a set of 10 objects, the child will correctly count the objects
- organize and interpret information
- will devise a criterion and sort all objects into groups according to that criterion. An adult may provide a general cue.
- In response to functional three step directions that are not routinely given, the child will correctly perform the sequence as directed. Contextual cues such as gestures may be given.
- Will place three or more objects in a series according to length or size.
- Will retell a sequence of at least three events verbally, through gestures and demonstration, or by arranging pictures into correct sequence.
- Will indicate why a particular solution to a problem that occurs within context would or would not work.
- Will identify printed numerals 1 - 10.
- Will match printed numerals to sets of 1 - 10 objects.
- represent and share information
- spontaneously or on request will indicate why a particular solution to a problem that occurs within context would or would not work.
- Will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to
- Give reasons for inferences
- Make predictions about future or hypothetical events
- Determine possible causes for events
- gather information
- The student understands how mathematical ideas connect to other subject areas and real - life situations.
To meet this standard, the student will:- relate concepts and procedures within mathematics
- will devise a criterion and sort all objects into groups according to that criterion. An adult may provide a general cue.
- Spontaneously or on request the child will indicate why particular solutions to problems that occur within context would or would not work.
- Will make statements and appropriately answer questions that require the child to:
- Give reasons for inferences
- Make predictions about future or hypothetical events
- Determine possible causes for events
- relate mathematical concepts and procedures to other disciplines
- In response to functional three step directions that are not routinely given, the child will correctly perform the sequence as directed. Contextual cues such as gestures may be given.
- relate mathematical concepts and procedures to real-life situations
- will perform the following activities prior to eating:
- prepare food for eating
- use knife to spread food
- pour liquids into a variety of containers
- serve food with utensils
- will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects using at least five different terms that describe shape
- will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects using at least six different terms that describe size
- will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects using at least eight different terms that describe quantity
- will follow directions, answer questions, or identify objects using at least twelve different terms that describe spatial relations
- relate concepts and procedures within mathematics
