COURSE OUTLINE

 

Unit 1: Shapes and Sorting

This unit focuses on describing, sorting, and classifying objects according to attributes or features. Students investigate the attributes of geometric shapes, such as circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles. They also use everyday objects, such as beads, stuffed animals, or types of fruit to improve their skills.

  • Circle, Triangle, Square, Rectangle
  • Compare Shapes
  • Compare Colors
  • Compare Sizes
  • Sizes, Shapes, and Colors
  • Sort by Color
  • Sort by Shape
  • Sort by Size
  • Sorting Different Ways

 

Unit 2: Shapes and Patterns

Students identify which object from a group does not belong according to the color, shape, or size of the objects. Students also learn what a pattern and a pattern core are and view different pattern types. Students begin using the letters A, B, and C to describe pattern rules AB, ABB, AAAB, AAB, ABB, ABC, and ABCC. Students identify and extend these patterns with attribute blocks and other objects.

  • Which Object Is Different?
  • AB and ABB Patterns
  • AAAB and AAB Patterns

Unit 4: Numbers Through 10

Students begin by hearing the counting sequence of numbers from 1 through 10, and then they count aloud on their own. They represent quantities through 10 by using objects and drawings. Students then move to counting sets of 10 or fewer objects, learning that they can count the objects in any order as long as they count each item exactly one time. Students read the numbers 1 through 10 to prepare them for writing the numbers. By watching a virtual pencil, and practicing with pencil and paper, they learn to form the numbers themselves. Students learn to compare and order groups of objects, learning that numbers with greater values describe groups with more objects than numbers with lesser values. They move to comparing and ordering numbers that describe groups of objects.

  • Count Through 10
  • Show an Amount Through 10
  • Represent Amounts

Unit 5: Calendar and Time

This unit is a review of calendars and time lessons taught throughout the first quarter. In the online Calendar/Time activities, students have learned about calendar concepts such as the names and numbers of days in a week; the notion of yesterday, today, and tomorrow; how to find a specific date on a calendar; and how many months are in a year. Students have also learned about concepts of time by studying the hours and minutes on a clock; parts of the day such as morning, afternoon, and evening; and the typical times in a day when certain activities occur.

  • Understanding Concepts of Time

 

Unit 6: Data and Graphs

Students learn how to compare groups of objects to determine which group has more or fewer objects, and that greater numbers are used to describe groups with more objects. Students learn to collect data and represent that data with objects, pictures, and picture graphs. They pose questions, collect data, record the results, compare, and answer questions. Students also learn to compare and answer questions about data in graphs that they have not prepared themselves.

  • Collect Data and Pose Questions

They use models, drawings, and finally numerals to represent groups of up to 20 objects. Students then compare groups having 20 or fewer objects to determine which has more, fewer, the most, or the fewest objects. They compare numbers from 1 through 20 to determine which is more or greater, and which is lesser or fewer. They learn to write the numerals from 1 through 20.

  • Count Aloud Through 20
  • Represent an Amount Through 20
  • Count Through 20
  • Show Amounts Through 20

Unit 8: Introduction to Addition

Students learn the meaning of addition by combining two groups of objects to find the total. By experimenting with groups of objects, they learn that changing the order in which the numbers are added does not change the sum. Students then learn to add with sums through 20 by using number lines, models, and sketches. They also learn to add by counting on by 1 and by 2 from a number.

  • Combine to Add
  • Count On to Add
  • Count On
  • Add with Models
  • Use Sketches to Add

 

Unit 9: Problem Solving With Addition

Students use concrete objects to solve addition story problems that involve combining groups, and explain how they are solving them.
