I know objects can be counted.

1. I know objects can be counted. Counting Skills V.A.1. Child knows that objects, or parts of an object, can be counted. I can recite number words in order up to 30. Counting Skills V.A.2. Child uses words to rote count from 1 to 30.

2. I can count up to 10 items, using one to one correspondence. Counting Skills V.A.3. Child counts 1-10 items, with one count per item. I can count in sequence. Counting Skills V.A.4. Child demonstrates that the order of the counting sequence is always the same, regardless of what is counted.

3. I can tell how many items are there in a set. Counting Skills V.A.5. Child counts up to 10 items, and demonstrates that the last count indicates how many items were counted. I can count the same pile of items in more than one order. Counting Skills V.A.6. Child demonstrates understanding that when counting, the items can be chosen in any order.

4. I can tell the position of objects in a set using ordinal numbers. Counting Skills V.A.7. Child uses the verbal ordinal terms. I can quickly say the number of objects in a set of 5 without counting. Counting Skills V.A.8. Child verbally identifies, without counting, the number of objects from 1 to 5.

5. I can say the number name for numerals 0 to 9. Counting Skills V.A.9. Child recognizes one-digit numerals, 0-9. I can make a word problem and add up to 5 using manipulatives. Adding To/Taking Away Skills V.B.1. Child uses concrete models or makes a verbal word problem for adding up to 5 objects.

6. I can make a word problem and subtract from a set of 5 using manipulatives. Adding To/Taking Away Skills V.B.2. Child uses concrete models or makes a verbal problem for subtracting 1-5 objects from a set. I can distribute items equally among friends. Adding To/Taking Away Skills V.B.3. Child uses informal strategies to share or divide up to 10 items equally.

7. I can name shapes like circle, square, triangle, and rhombus. Geometry and Spatial Sense Skills V.C.1. Child names common shapes. I can create new shapes by putting together 2 or more shapes to make a new shape. Geometry and Spatial Sense Skills V.C.2. Child creates shapes.

8. I can use positional words to describe the location of objects. IN Geometry and Spatial Sense Skills V.C.3. Child demonstrates use of location words (such as “over”, “under”, “above”, “on”, “beside”, “next to”, “between”, “in front of”, “near”, “far”, etc.). I know shapes stay the same when I slide, flip, or turn them. Geometry and Spatial Sense Skills V.C.4. Child slides, flips, and turns shapes to demonstrate that the shapes remain the same.

9. I can compare the height and length of people or objects. Measurement Skills V.D.1. Child recognizes and compares heights or lengths of people or objects. I can tell the amount of space an object fills. Measurement Skills V.D.2. Child recognizes how much can be placed within an object.

10. I can tell which object weighs more. Measurement Skills V.D.3. Child informally recognizes and compares weights of objects or people. I can describe today’s, tomorrow’s, or yesterday’s events. Measurement Skills V.D.4. Child uses language to describe concepts associated with the passing of time.

11. I can organize objects into groups and tell you how I sorted them. Classification and Patterns Skills V.E.1. Child sorts objects that are the same and different into groups and uses language to describe how the groups are similar and different. I can place objects or pictures in a graph. Classification and Patterns Skills V.E.2. Child collects data and organizes it in a graphic representation.

12. I can identify patterns and use different materials to create patterns. Classification and Patterns Skills V.E.3. Child recognizes and creates patterns.
