PK.1 Demonstrates understanding of number concepts and numerical operations

• PK.1.1.1 Demonstrates understanding of numbers
  • PK.1.1.1.Pre3 1 Spontaneously counts for own purposes
  • PK.1.1.1.Pre3 2 Demonstrates understanding of more and less
  • PK.1.1.1.Pre4 1 Demonstrates an understanding that the last number spoken represents the entire set (i.e., counts five blocks on the table and says, “There are five blocks.”)
  • PK.1.1.1.Pre4 2 Rote counts to 10
• PK.1.1.2 Demonstrates an understanding of number computation
  • PK.1.1.2.Pre3 1 Demonstrates an understanding that a single object is always “one” regardless of size, shape and other attributes
  • PK.1.1.2.Pre4 1 Adds two groups of concrete objects by counting the total (e.g. three blue pegs, three yellow pegs, six pegs altogether)
  • PK.1.1.2.Pre4 2 Subtracts one group of concrete objects from another by taking some away and then counting the remainder (e.g., “I have four carrot sticks, I’m eating one! Now I have three”)
• PK.1.1.3 Understands number concepts
  • PK.1.1.3.Pre3 1 Recognizes whole/part concept related to concrete objects
  • PK.1.1.3.Pre4 1 Estimates amounts
  • PK.1.1.3.Pre4 2 Identifies positions as first and last
• PK.1.1.4 Develops knowledge of sequence and temporal awareness
  • PK.1.1.4.Pre3 1 Describes the sequence of daily events (e.g. “We will go outside after snack time.”)
  • PK.1.1.4.Pre4 1 Uses language associated with time in everyday situations (e.g. “I go swimming after lunch”)

PK.2 Demonstrates an understanding of patterns and relationships (Algebra)

• PK.2.2.1 Uses the attributes of objects for comparison and patterning
  • PK.2.2.1.Pre3 1 Recognizes, describes, compares, and names common objects by one or more attributes
  • PK.2.2.1.Pre3 2 Describes an object by characteristics it does or does not possess (e.g. “This button doesn’t have holes.”)
  • PK.2.2.1.Pre4 1 Uses blocks, beads or other materials to make or extend patterns
  • PK.2.2.1.Pre4 2 With adult direction, uses standard and nonstandard measurement units (e.g. measuring body length with unifix cubes, counting number of cups to fill a bucket with water)

PK.3 Demonstrates an understanding of geometric and spatial sense

• PK.3.3.1 Recognizes and describes spatial relationships
  • PK.3.3.1.Pre3 1 Uses actions and words to indicate position (e.g. over, inside), location (close, far away), or movement (fast, slow)
  • PK.3.3.1.Pre4 1 Demonstrates an understanding of directionality, order and position (e.g. up/down, before/after, first and last)
• PK.3.3.2 Recognizes geometric shapes and their attributes
  • PK.3.3.2.Pre3 1 Identifies basic shapes in the environment (e.g. circle, square, triangle)
  • PK.3.3.2.Pre4 1 Uses shapes (e.g. blocks) separately or in combination to produce pictures and objects
