Curriculum
Describing Measurable Attributes
Children will learn to describe measurable attributes of objects, including attributes like length or weight. They will also develop the ability to describe multiple measurable attributes of a single object, enhancing their observational and descriptive skills.
Building 3D shapes
Children will learn to combine simple shapes to create larger, more complex shapes.
Solving Three-Number Addition Problem
Children will learn to solve word problems that involve the addition of three whole numbers, with the total sum being less than or equal to 20. They will use various methods like objects, drawings, and equations with symbols for the unknown numbers to represent and solve the problem effectively.
Comparing Objects by Measurable Attributes
Children will learn to directly compare two objects that share a measurable attribute, determining which has "more of" or "less of" that attribute, and describe the difference. For instance, they can compare the heights of two children and identify one as taller or shorter.
Analyze and Compose Shapes
Children will learn to distinguish between defining attributes (such as triangles being closed and having three sides) and non-defining attributes (like color, orientation, and overall size).
Using Addition and Subtraction Properties
Children will learn to apply properties of operations as strategies for adding and subtracting. For example, if they know that 8 + 3 = 11, they can also understand that 3 + 8 = 11 due to the commutative property of addition, which states that the order in which numbers are added does not change the sum.
Ordering Objects by Length Using Comparisons
Children will learn to order three objects based on their length and compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object as a reference.
Analyze and Compose Shapes
Children will learn to compose two-dimensional shapes such as rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles, as well as three-dimensional shapes like cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders.
Subtraction as Finding the Missing Number
Children will learn to understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, to solve 10 - 8, they can find the number that, when added to 8, equals 10. This approach helps them grasp the relationship between addition and subtraction by identifying the missing number that completes the equation.
Measuring Length Using Uniform Units
Children will learn to express the length of an object using a whole number of uniform length units by aligning multiple copies of a shorter object end to end along the longer object.
