# Description # Description1 Count, represent, read, compare, order and conserve (knows that the
total number does not change when configured differently) whole numbers.
1 Recognize, describe, create and extend repeating and growing patterns such as physical, geometric and numeric patterns and translate from one representation to another.
2 Develop understandings of addition and subtraction and strategies for basic addition facts and related subtraction facts.
2 Sort, classify, and order objects by size, number and other properties.
3 Express numbers as equivalent representations to fluently compose and decompose numbers (putting together and taking apart).
3 Demonstrate the use of the communative and associative properties and mathematical reasoning to solve for the unknown quantity in addition and subtraction problems; justify the solution.
4 Develop fluency and quick recall of addition facts and related subtraction facts and fluency with multi-digit addition and subtraction.
4 Understand equality as meaning "the same as" and use the = symbol appropriately.
5 Estimate the answer to an addition and subtraction problem before computing and determine whether the computer answer makes sense.
6 Develop an understanding of whole number relationships, including grouping in tens and ones and apply place-value concepts.
7 Understand fractional parts are equal shares or equal portions of a whole unit (a unit can be an object or a collection of things).
# Description # Description1 Recognize and describe shapes and structures in the physical
environment1 Identify attributes that are measurable, such as length, weight, time
and capacity, and use these attributes to order objects and make direct comparisons.
2 Compose and decompose geometric shapes, including plane and solidfigures to develop a foundation for understanding area, volume, fractions, and proportions.
2 Estimate, measure and compute measurable attributes while solving problems.
3 Identify, name, sort and describe two- and three-dimensional geometric figures regardless of size or orientation.
3 Estimate and measure length using standard (customary and metric) and non-standard units with comprehension.
4 Describe and specify space and location with simple relationships and with coordinate systems.
5 Experience and recognize slides, flips, turns and symmetry to analyze mathematical situations.
6 Use attributes of geometric figures to solve spatial problems.
# Description1 Collect, sort, organize, and represent data to ask and answer
questions relevent to the K-2 environment.2 Compare different representations of the same data using these types
of graphs: bar graphs, frequency tables, line plots, and picture graphs.
3 Use information displayed on graphs to answer questions and make predictions, inferences and generalizations such as likely or unlikely events.
