Kindergarten Mathematics First Nine Weeks

Dear Parents: These objectives listed below will be covered in the 1st Nine Weeks Unit of study.

Know number names and the count sequence Count to 50 by ones. Students will rote count by starting at one and counting to 50. Write numbers from 0 to 9. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0 9 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). Count to tell the number of objects Count up to 20 objects, arranged in a line. Understand that when counting, the next number said is one larger (5 is one larger than 4). Understand how numbers can be broken apart Decompose (break apart) numbers less than or equal to 5 in more than one way e.g. by using objects, e.g. 4 counters can be 3 counters and 1 counter or 2 counters and 2 counters. Data Classify objects into given categories less than or equal to 10. Geometry Correctly name, analyze and compare 2-dimensional shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons). Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes (a coin is round like a circle; a window is shaped like a rectangle). Here are some suggestions as to what you can do at home to help your child: Have your child count the number of spoons in the drawer. Help your child learn to count forward from 1 to 50. Dont always begin at 1; start at other numbers sometimes. While your child is taking a bath, spray a little shaving cream on the wall and have your child write the numbers 0 9. Lay out your childs toys, and have your child touch and count each one . Place money in a straight line and have your child touch and count each coin (they do not need to know the name or value of the coins, just using them as a counter). Compose and decompose 5 objects in different ways, e.g. 5 bears can be 4 bears and 1 bear, or 3 bears 2 bears. Play games that require counting and using dice, such as Chutes and Ladders. Help your child understand that the last number spoken when counting indicates the total number of items, and it doesnt matter what order they were counted starting at the top, bottom, left, or right you still get the same number. Help your child learn various words to describe objects she sees in her world. For example, when she describes a dog, it could be large, furry, soft, and brown. Locate different shapes in the house, e.g. the window pane is a square. Correctly find and name the shape of objects throughout the grocery store and in her surroundings, e.g. soup cans are cylinders.
