Power Standards – Kindergarten – March 30, 2007

 

Math:

   1.  M(N&O)–K–1 Demonstrates conceptual understanding of rational numbers with respect to:

whole numbers from 0 to 12 through investigations that apply the concepts of equivalency in composing or decomposing numbers using models, explanations, or other representations; and positive fractional numbers (1/2) as “fair share” (i.e., equal sized parts or sets) using models, explanations, or other representations.

2.      M(N&O)–K–2 Demonstrates understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers from 0 to 20 through investigations that demonstrate one-to-one correspondence; that compare whole numbers to each other or to benchmark whole numbers (5, 10); that demonstrate an understanding of the relation of inequality when comparing whole numbers by using “1 more” or “1 less”; that connect numbers orally and written as numerals to the quantities that they represent using models, representations, or number lines.

3.      M(N&O)–K–3 Demonstrates conceptual understanding of mathematical operations through investigations involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers (from 0 to 10) by solving problems involving joining actions, separating actions, part-part whole relationships, and comparison situations; and addition of multiple one-digit whole numbers.
(See Appendix A.)

4.      M(N&O)–K–5 Demonstrates understanding of monetary value through investigation involving knowing the names and values for coins (penny, nickel and dime).

5.      M(G&M)–K–1 Uses properties, attributes, composition, or decomposition to sort or classify polygons (triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombi, trapezoids, and hexagons) or objects by using one non-measurable or measurable attribute; and  recognizes, names, and builds polygons and circles in the environment.

6.      M(G&M)–K–7 Demonstrates conceptual understanding of measurable attributes using comparative language to describe and compare attributes of objects (length [longer, shorter], height [taller, shorter], weight [heavier, lighter], temperature [warmer, cooler], and capacity [more, less]); and compares objects visually and with direct comparison.

7.      M(G&M)–K–8 Determines elapsed and accrued time as it relates to calendar patterns (days of the week, yesterday, today, and tomorrow), the sequence of events in a day; and identifies a clock and calendar as measurement tools  (days of week, months of the year).

8.      M(F&A)–K–1 I Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns (sequences of shapes, sounds, movement, colors, and letters) by extending the pattern to the next one, two or three elements, or by translating AB patterns across formats (e.g., an abb pattern can be represented as snap, clap, clap or red, yellow, yellow) or by identifying number patterns in the environment.

9.      M(DSP)–K–1 Interprets a given representation created by the class (models and tally charts) to answer questions related to the data, or to analyze the data to formulate conclusions using words, diagrams, or verbal/scribed responses to express answers

(IMPORTANT: Analyzes data consistent with concepts and skills in M(DSP)–K–2.)

by …

R—K—3.1 Identifying synonyms and antonyms (e.g., big/large; hot/ cold) to connect new words to known words

R—K—3.2 Demonstrating knowledge of basic concepts (i.e.: common words that describe position in space and time, such as: over, between, after, behind)

R—K—3.3 Organizing words by category (e.g., sorting pictures or objects into groups) 

R–K–4        

Demonstrate initial understanding of elements of literary texts read aloud by…

R—K—9.1 Blending and segmenting syllables and onset-rimes (e.g., cup-cake, s-at)

R—K—9.3 Isolating phonemes in single syllable words (e.g., “tell me the first sound in ‘mop’;” “tell me the last sound in ‘mop)

R—K—9.5 Recognizing pairs of rhyming words

R—K—10

Demonstrates understanding of concepts of print during shared or individual reading by…

R—K—10.3 Identifying the first and last parts of a word (beginning/end of the word)

R—K—10.4 Identifying key parts of a book: front and back, print, illustrations (Local)

WK9

In independent writing, students demonstrate command of appropriate English conventions by…

W-K-9.5 Using phonemic awareness and letter knowledge to spell independently (using phonetic or temporary spelling) and logically representing consonant sounds (e.g., initial or final sounds)
