kindergarten


.	This is a TEMPLATE for a typical kindergartener's class. The orange headings are the same headings you will see in WINGS. Parents are not only encouraged, but are requested to personalize the class for their student. You may cut and paste each section (under the heading) into the appropriate box in WINGS - then you can delete any sections that don't apply and add anything you'd like to include. Please check with your SLPC if you have any questions.
.	Class Title:
.	Math
.	Subject :
.	Math
.	Description and Learning Materials:
.	Description with topics and activities Students will learn math concepts by doing daily work, frequently practicing basic skills, using manipulatives & experiments to practice concepts, solving real life math problems, using technology and doing assessments. Topics for Kindergarten may include, but are not limited to number awareness, counting, money, measurement, patterns, beginning operations Text & Materials Materials may include but are not limited to textbooks, workbooks/worksheets, manipulatives, experiment supplies, internet resources, math games, software, tutoring, field trips, related activities and events.
.	Learning Goals/EALRs:
.	Student will: 1. Match numerals with sets of objects to 30, count to 50, and write numerals in sequence to 20. 2. Apply the concepts of addition and more/less/equal to. 3. Explore, copy, describe, and extend patterns. 4. Begin to measure using length, time, and weight. 5. Collect data and use simple charts and graphs. 6. Recognize, identify, and construct geometric shapes. 7. Demonstrate positions such as under, behind, in front of, and below. 8. Use objects to solve problems and verbally express mathematical ideas. 9. Write numbers correctly 1-20. Appropriate EALRs 1. The student understands and applies the concepts and procedures of mathematics. To meet this standard, the student will: 1.1. Understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense—number and numeration; computation; estimation. 1.2. Understand and apply concepts and procedures from measurement—attributes, units, and systems; procedures and estimation. 1.3. Understand and apply concepts and procedures from geometric sense—properties and relationships; locations and transformations. 1.4. Understand and apply concepts and procedures from probability and statistics—probability; statistics. 1.5. Understand and apply concepts and procedures from algebraic sense—patterns and functions; symbols and notations; evaluating and solving. 2. The student uses mathematics to define and solve problems. To meet this standard, the student will: 2.1. Define problems—identify questions; determine information that is missing, extraneous, or known. 2.2. Construct solutions—select and use relevant information; apply appropriate strategies and procedures; determine a solution that is viable and mathematically correct. 3. The student uses mathematical reasoning. To meet this standard, the student will: 3.1. Analyze information—analyze and compare mathematical information. 3.2. Conclude—draw and support conclusions; evaluate procedures and conclusions. 3.3. Verify results—justify results; check for reasonableness of results; validate thinking. 4. The student communicates knowledge and understanding in both everyday and mathematical language. To meet this standard, the student will: 4.1. Gather information—plan for collecting mathematical information; extract mathematical information. 4.2. Organize, represent, and share information—organize mathematical information; represent mathematical information in graphs; explain, or describe ideas using mathematical language and notation appropriate for audience and purpose. 5. The student understands how mathematical ideas connect within mathematics, to other subject areas, and to real-world situations. To meet this standard, the student will: 5.1. Relate concepts and procedures within mathematics—apply concepts and procedures from two or more content strands; identify, create, or use equivalent mathematical models and representations. 5.2. Relate mathematical concepts and procedures to other disciplines—identify and use mathematical patterns, thinking, and modeling in other subject areas; describe examples of contributions to the development of mathematics. 5.3. Relate mathematical concepts and procedures to real-world situations—understand how mathematics is used in everyday life and in career settings.
.	Methods of Evaluation:
.	Progress will be evaluated by observation, daily work, tests/quizzes and/or projects, participation and performance based activities. Successful completion will be indicated by familiarity with and/or mastery of majority of concepts at year's end. Successful completion will also be indicated by appropriate growth on the MAP test or approved year end assessment. Amount of time reading, reading fluency, words per minute and understanding of text will be evaluated through discussion, timed drills and text-based projects. Spelling words will be used in vocabulary projects and on tests/quizzes and games.
