Numerical Reasoning: Wondering About My World and Investigating to Find Answers
Our first math unit is all about counting! Some important concepts of this unit are one-to-one correspondence (one number assigned to each object), cardinality (the last number said is the total number of objects), and rote number sequence (memorizing the order of the numbers- up to 100). We will also practice counting forward and backward within 20. To help us achieve these concepts, we will be using a diverse collection of digital and tangible manipulatives, including counting bears, snap cubes, ten frames, and red/yellow counters. Students will develop the ability to count upwards from a given number other than 1 and to identify missing numbers in a written sequence. Later in the unit, we will also practice classifying objects, dividing them into groups based on a characteristic, and counting the objects in each category.
At home, you can supplement your student's learning by having them count the world around them. They can count family photos, soup cans, or pens on a desk by pointing at each object and saying the number aloud. They can also sort fruits or vegetables into color groups and count to find out how many there are.

Geometric & Spatial Reasoning: 2-D Shapes in My World
We will be learning about our 2-D shapes- circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, and hexagons. We will also practice using our position words, like above, below, next to, and beside, to describe the shapes' positions and relationships to each other. One important part of this unit is understanding how to identify a shape even if it's a different size or orientation than what we usually see. This unit will also focus on describing, sorting, and comparing shapes based on their attributes. We will learn how to sort shapes into categories based on number of sides, number of vertices, or number of equal-length sides.

Numerical Reasoning: How Many? (Numbers Up to 20)
Students will count and compare sets within 20, using vocabulary like less than, greater than, more, fewer, and equal to. These sets may be arranged in a line, a scatter formation, a rectangle, or a circle. Students will also begin composing (building with a group of ten and some ones) and decomposing (taking apart into a group of ten and some ones) numbers between 11-19. They will use drawings, manipulatives, or ten frames to help show their understanding. Unit 3 introduces our first two coins- penny and dime. Students will learn to identify each coin and understand that one dime can be thought of as ten pennies. By the end of this unit, students are expected to be able to count to 60 by ones and count to 100 by tens.
At home, you can help your student practice these concepts with everyday objects. They can count pencils, pasta noodles, or cans of vegetables. They can also count out the number of pennies in a wallet or coin jar. They can also count out groups of crayons or blocks and decide which group is greater or less.

Numerical Reasoning: Understanding and Using Addition and Subtraction in My Life
Our fourth math unit is about addition and subtraction within 10. Students will learn to decompose, or break apart, numbers up to 10 in multiple ways (ex. decomposing 6 into two groups of three or a group of two and a group of four). They will also learn how to add up to 10 when given a number (ex. If you have seven buttons, how many more do you need to have ten buttons?). They can draw pictures, count on their fingers, use manipulatives, or write an equation to help them solve these problems. They will also be developing the fluency to add within 5 quickly and without using manipulatives or drawings. By the end of the unit, students will be able to answer addition or subtraction word problems and represent the problem with drawings, equations, or manipulatives.
At home, you can support this learning by allowing your student to practice with objects you have around the house. Give them nine pens and have them split the pens into two groups as many ways as they can. Give them five noodles and ask them to add more until they have 10 noodles- how many noodles did it take? Use your refrigerator or pantry as a resource for silly word problems! If you have three cans of green beans, and you buy five more, how many cans of green beans will you have? There were six eggs in the carton, and you used some to make breakfast. Now there are two eggs left. How many did you use? This is a long, tricky unit, so any extra practice will help!
