Students: *1. Students understand that there are properties such as length, weight, capacity, and time and that comparisons can be made by using these properties. 1. Compare the length, weight and capacity of objects by making direct comparisons or using reference objects (e.g., lighter/heavier, shorter/ longer/taller, which holds more?) Make direct comparisons of objects using reference objects Compare the lengths of two crayons. Which crayon is longer? shorter? Pick one book off the bookshelf. Pick another book. Is it lighter or heavier than the first book? Use nonstandard units to measure: The length of an object How many paper clips long is your hand? The width of an object Use snap cubes to measure the width of your book. How many cubes wide is it? The weight of an object Use a balance scale and snap cubes to weigh an apple. How many cubes equal the weight of the apple? The capacity of a container Measure the capacity of your jar. How many cubes will your jar hold? 12
Measure and compare The lengths of two objects Measure two pencils with paper clips. Which pencil is longer? How long is it? Which pencil is shorter? How long is it? The widths of two objects Use cubes to measure the widths of two books. Which book is wider? The weights of two objects Use a balance scale and cubes to weigh two potatoes. How many cubes equal the weight of each potato? Which potato is heavier? Which potato is lighter? The capacities of two containers Measure the capacity of two small jars by filling each with marbles. Which jar held more? How many marbles did it hold? Which jar held less? How many marbles did it hold? 13
2. Demonstrate understanding of concepts of time (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening, day, week, year, today, yesterday, tomorrow) including tools that measure time (e.g. clock, calendar). Identify the time of day (morning, afternoon, evening, day, night) Circle the picture that shows what you would do at night. Understands the concepts of time (day, week, year, yesterday, today, tomorrow) shown on a calendar Students use the class calendar or an individual calendar to answer these questions. What is the name of this month? What year is it? How many days in this month? How many weeks? What is today s date? What was yesterday s date? What will tomorrow s date be? 3. Name the days of the week in correct order. Name the days of the week. 14
4. Identify the time (to the nearest hour) of everyday events (e.g. lunch time is 12 o clock, bed time is 8 o clock at night). Tell time to the hour Jan goes to school at 8:00 in the morning. Circle the clock that shows 8:00. I left home at 9 o clock in the morning and came back 2 hours later. What time did I come home? ( FW) Match the digital clock to the hour time shown on the standard clock Look at the clock. The time is 2:00. Circle the digital clock that shows the same time. 15
Students: 2. Students identify common geometric objects in their environment and 1. Identify and describe common geometric objects. describe their features. Identify basic shapes: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, cube, sphere, and cone Which of these shapes is a square? Circle the shape that is a square. ( FW) Describe basic shapes How would you describe a square? ( FW) Match like shapes Circle the shape that matches the shape in the box. Draw or construct basic shapes: circle, triangle, square, and rectangle Given 5 squares of the same size, can you use some or all of them to form a bigger square?( FW) 16
2. Compare familiar plane and solid objects by common attributes. Draw a line from each object to the matching shape. 3. Students understand that a fraction is a part of a whole. Students: 1. Understand that if all parts of an object are present the object is whole. Identify an object that is whole Circle the object that is whole. Identify an object that is divided in half Circle the shape that is divided into 2 equal parts. 17
