KINDERGARTEN Unit 1: Connecting Counting to Cardinality and Size & Position

Overview: In this unit students will explore numbers from 0-10 and learn how to count, read, write, compare, and order numbers.

Students will learn one-to-one correspondence and they will order objects by size, length, and weight. Students will also arrange and

organize objects by size and position.

Time Frame: 45 Days

Enduring Understandings:

• Objects can be counted, sorted, quantified, compared, and described using number names, words, and symbols.

• Numbers have values and names.

• Calendar Skills help us apply math concepts.

Essential Questions: Students will keep considering...

• Why do we use numbers?

• Why are numbers important?

• What are their properties, and how does our number system function?

• What makes a strategy effective and efficient and the solution reasonable?

• How do numbers relate and compare to one another?

• Why do we have a calendar?

Students will:

● Count orally by ones

up to ten.

● Write numbers 0-10.

● Say number names

in standard order.

● Pair each object with

one number name

(one-to-one

correspondence).

● Count to tell the

Students will practice

Calendar Patterns on a daily

basis to learn days of the

year.

Students will have daily

math centers to reinforce

previously taught math

skills and to practice writing

numbers. During centers

students will be pulled for

small group or differentiated

instruction based upon

student needs and math

topics.

Children will listen to and

will recite a number rhyme

from the math Big Book.

(RL.K.10)

Students will count groups

of 1 and 2 and write

the numerals 1 and 2.

Students will work in pairs

content from Kindergarten

through 12th grade.

Integration of 21st Century Standards NJSLS 9:

9.2.4.A.1: Identify reasons why people work, different types of work, and how work can help a person achieve personal and professional

goals.

9.2.4.A.3: Investigate both traditional and nontraditional careers and related information to personal likes and dislikes.

Accommodations and Modifications:

Students with special needs: Support staff will be available to aid students related to IEP specifications. 504 accommodations will also be attended to by all

instructional leaders. Physical expectations and modifications, alternative assessments, and scaffolding strategies will be used to support this learning. The use

of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) will be considered for all students as teaching strategies are considered. Additional safety precautions will be made

along with additional staff so all student can fully participate in the standards associated with this Math curriculum.

ELL/ESL students: Students will be supported according to the recommendations for “can do’s” as outlined by WIDA -

https://www.wida.us/standards/CAN_DOs/

to determine support this may include parent consultation, basic skills review and differentiation strategies. With considerations to UDL, time may be a factor

in overcoming developmental considerations. More time and will be made available with a certified instructor to aid students in reaching the standards.

Gifted and Talented Students: Students excelling in mastery of standards will be challenged with complex, high level challenges related to the complexity of

the Math requirements. This will include allowing more opportunities to demonstrate creativity and the design of original choreography.
