Math and Literacy . . .Perfect Together Part Two April 20, 2012
Five Components of Mathematics • Number and Operations • Geometry and Spatial Sense • Measurement • Patterns (Algebra) • Data Analysis
Geometry and Spatial SenseObjectives: 13. Uses Classification Skills 21a. Understands spatial relationships, 21b. Understand shapes • Shape(two and three dimensional shapes) • Space(positional words) • Transformations(moving shapes by sliding, flipping them over, turning and combining them) • Visualization(recall and represent what was seen visually)
MeasurementObjective: 13. Uses Classification Skills 22. Compares and Measures • Measurement Attributes (gross size, length, height, weight, area, time) • Comparing and Ordering (comparing objects by attributes) • Measurement Behaviors and Processes (assigning a number to an attribute of an object, such as the length of a crayon or the capacity of a jar)
Data AnalysisObjective: 13. Uses Classification Skills 14a. Thinks Symbolically • Sorting and Classifying (after objects are sorted and classified, data needs to be organized) • Representing Data (represent data by using concrete objects, pictures and graphs) • Describing Data (use more, fewer, same number as, larger than, smaller than and not)
The Components of Literacy A Source of Enjoyment Vocabulary and Language Phonological Awareness Knowledge of Print Letters and Words Comprehension Books and Other Texts

A closing thought . . . Why are the math skills of children nationwide measuring so low? How can we help?
