Math Grade: Kindergarten Unit 1: Counting and Cardinality
In the Counting and Cardinality unit the students will be able to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers. Counting and Cardinality and Operations and Algebraic Thinking are about understanding and using numbers. Counting and Cardinality underlies Operations and Algebraic Thinking as well as Number and Operations in Base Ten. It begins with early counting and telling how many in one group of objects. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division grow from these early roots. From its very beginnings, this Progression involves important ideas that are neither trivial nor obvious; these ideas need to be taught, in ways that are interesting and engaging to young students.
NJ Student Learning Standards K.CC.A.1 Count to 100 by ones and by tens. K.CC.A.2 Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at one). K.CC.A.3 Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). K.CC.B.4 Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. K.CC.B.4a When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. K.CC.B.4b Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. K.CC.B.4c Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. K.CC.B.5 Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects. K.CC.C.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. K.CC.C.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
Enduring Understandings/Goals Essential Questions ● Counting involves one-to-one correspondence ● One can count by different amounts (ones, tens etc.) ● There is a relationship between the numbers and quantities. ● When counting, each object has one and only one number
name and each number name is paired with one and only one object (one-to-one correspondence).
● When counting, the last number name said tells the number of objects counted.
● The number of objects is the same regardless of the order in which they were counted.
● Each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.
● “Greater than” means the amount is more; “less than” means the amount is less.

Unit 2: Operations and Algebraic Thinking In the Operations and Algebraic Thinking unit the students will be able to understand addition as putting together and adding to, and subtraction as taking apart and taking from.
The Progression in Operations and Algebraic Thinking deals with the basic operations—the kinds of quantitative relationships they model and consequently the kinds of problems they can be used to solve as well as their mathematical properties and relationships. Although most of the standards organized under the OA heading involve whole numbers, the importance of the Progression is much more general because it describes concepts, properties, and representations that extend to other number systems, to measures, and to algebra.
The generality of the concepts involved in Operations and Algebraic Thinking means that students’ work in this area should be designed to help them extend arithmetic beyond whole numbers and understand and apply expressions and equations in later grades.
Addition and subtraction are the first operations studied. Initially, the meaning of addition is separate from the meaning of sub- traction, and students build relationships between addition and subtraction over time. Subtraction comes to be understood as reversing the actions involved in addition and as finding an unknown addend. Likewise, the meaning of multiplication is initially separate from the meaning of division, and students gradually perceive relationships between division and multiplication analogous to those between addition and subtraction, understanding division as reversing the actions involved in multiplication and finding an unknown product.
NJ Student Learning Standards K.OA.A.1 Represent addition and subtraction up to 10 with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps, acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations). K.OA.A.2 Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. K.OA.A.3 Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). K.OA.A.4 For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation. K.OA.A.5 Demonstrate fluency for addition and subtraction within 5.
Enduring Understandings/Goals Essential Questions Students will understand that…
● Numbers can be decomposed. ● Making a sum of 10 will be important to make work easier. ● Objects, mental images, drawings, sound, acting out situations, verbal explanations,
expressions, or equations can help one understand problems and find solutions.
● Why do we need to add and subtract? ● What happens when we put groups together or add to a group? ● What happens when we take apart groups or take away from a group?

Math Grade: Kindergarten Unit 4: Measurement and Data
In the Measurement and Data unit the students will be able to describe and compare measurable attributes and classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. Geometric measurement connects the two most critical domains of early mathematics, geometry and number, with each providing conceptual support to the other. Measurement is central to mathematics, to other areas of mathematics (e.g., laying a sensory and conceptual foundation for arithmetic with fractions), to other subject matter domains, especially science, and to activities in everyday life. For these reasons, measurement is a core component of the mathematics curriculum.
NJ Student Learning Standards K.MD.A.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. K.MD.A.2 Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. K.MD.B.2 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.1
Enduring Understandings/Goals Essential Questions Students will understand that…
● Measurable attributes are a way to compare objects. ● An object may have multiple measurable attributes. ● Multiple objects may have the same measurable attribute. ● Classifying objects helps to count total numbers. ● Objects can be described by their attributes. ● Objects can be sorted by their attributes.
● Why do we need to measure objects? ● What attributes are measurable? ● How do we compare objects? ● Why do we need to classify objects? ● How does sorting help us to count?

Math Grade: Kindergarten Unit 5: Geometry
In the geometry unit the students will be able to identify and describe shapes and analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes. Like core knowledge of numbers, core geometrical knowledge appears to be a universal capability of the human mind. Geometric and spatial thinking are important in and of themselves, because they connect mathematics with the physical world, and play an important role in modeling phenomena whose origins are not necessarily physical, for example, as networks or graphs. They are also important because they support the development of number and arithmetic concepts and skills. Thus, geometry is essential for all grade levels for many reasons: its mathematical content, its roles in physical sciences, engineering, and many other subjects, and its strong aesthetic connections.
NJ Student Learning Standards K.G.A.1 Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. K.G.A.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. K.G.A.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid"). K.G.B.4 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). K.G.B.5 Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. K.G.B.6 Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?" Enduring Understandings/Goals Essential Questions
● Shapes have positions in the world relative to other things. ● Characteristics of shapes give it a name. ● Shapes in the world can be built with components such as
sticks and clay balls. ● Shapes in the world can be drawn. ● Composing other shapes can form shapes.
● What characteristics of a shape help us to name it? ● How does knowing the name of shapes help us? ● Why do we need to know positions of shapes? ● Why do we need to identify shapes? ● Why would we compose shapes?
Chapters Lessons Chapter 7: Solids & Flat Shapes
Lesson 1: Solid Shapes Lesson 2: Flat Shapes in Solid Shapes Lesson 3: Flat Shapes Lesson 4: Flat Shape Pictures Lesson 5: Shape Patterns
Skills (Students will be able to…) ● The characteristics of a square, circle, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, cube, cylinder, and sphere. ● The meaning of the words above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. ● The characteristics of a square, circle, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, cube, cylinder, and sphere. ● Components/representations that can be used to model shapes in the world.
