NUMBER

(CCCS: Counting and Cardinality- CC; Operations and Algebraic Thinking- OA; Number and Operations in
Base-Ten- NBT)

Conceptual Understandings from the PYP- Phase 1

-

Numbers are a naming system.

Numbers can be used in many ways for different purposes in the real world.
Numbers are connected to each other through a variety of relationships.
Making connections between our experiences with number can help us to develop number sense.

Why are numbers important?

What do numbers mean to us?
How do we use numbers every day?

Essential Questions

Learning Outcomes

By the end of Kindergarten, students are expected to:

- Count to 100 by ones and by tens (K.CC.1)
- Count forward beginning from a given number within the know sequence (instead of having to begin at 1) (K.CC.2)
- Write numbers from 0 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0 20 (with 0 representing a count of no
objects). (K.CC.3)
- Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. (K.CC.4)
- When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order; paring each object with one and only one number name
and each number name with one and only one object (K.CC4a)
- Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of
their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. (K.CC.4b)
- Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. (K.CC.4c)
- Count to answer how many? questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as
many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects. (K.CC.5)
- Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group,
e.g. by using matching and counting strategies. (K.CC.6)
- Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. (K.CC.7)
- Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g. claps), acting out situations,
verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. (K.OA.1)
- Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g. by using objects or drawings to represent the
problem. (K.OA.2)
- Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g. by using objects or drawings, and record each
decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g. 5=2+3 and 5=4+1) (K.OA.3)

KINDERGARTEN
-

For any number 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g. by using objects or drawings, and
record the answer with a drawing or equation. (K.OA.4)
Fluently add and subtract within 5. (K.OA.5)
Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g. by using objects or drawings, and
record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g. 18=10+8); understand that these numbers are
composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones. (K.NBT.1)
use simple fraction names in real-life situations

MEASUREMENT

(CCCS: Measurement and Data MD)

Conceptual Understandings from the PYP- Phase 1

- Measurement involves comparing objects and events.
- Objects have attributes that can be measured.
- Events can be ordered and sequenced.
- Attributes can be compared.
Essential Questions
- What does it mean to measure something?
- In what ways can I measure an object?
- How are things alike and different?
- What attributes of an object can be measured?
Learning Outcomes
By the end of Kindergarten, students are expected to:
- Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single
object. (K.MD.1)
- Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has more of/less of the
attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one
child as taller/shorter. (K.MD.2)
- Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by
count. (K.MD.3)
- Identify, describe and sequence events in their daily routine, for example, before, after, bedtime, story-time, today,
tomorrow.
- Describe observations about events and objects in real-life situations
- Use non-standard units of measurement to solve problems in real-life situations involving length, mass and capacity.
Note:
Learning Outcomes in RED are from the PYP math scope/sequence for Measurement- Phase 1 and are not represented in the CCCS
for kindergarten.

SHAPE AND SPACE

(CCCS: Geometry - G)

Conceptual Understandings from the PYP- Phase 1

-

Shapes can be described and organized according to their properties.

Objects in our immediate environment have a position in space that can be described according to a point of reference.
Properties determine when shapes are alike or different.
Geometry helps us describe, represent, and make sense of our environment.
Shapes are everywhere.
All objects have a shape with a specific name.

How are shapes alike and different?

How can a shape be described?
How can shapes be sorted?
What makes shapes different from each other?
What shapes can we see in our world?
Where can we find shapes in the real world?

Essential Questions

Learning Outcomes

By the end of Kindergarten, students are expected to:

- Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such
as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. (K.G.1)
- Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. (K.G.2)
- Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, flat) or three dimensional (solid). (K.G.3)
- Analyse and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe
their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/corners) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal
length). (K.G.4)
- Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. (K.G.5)
- Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a
rectangle? (K.G.6)

PATTERNS AND FUNCTIONS

(CCCS: Operations and Algebraic Thinking- OA)

Conceptual Understandings from the PYP- Phase 1

-

Patterns and sequences occur in everyday situations.

Patterns repeat and grow.

Essential Questions
Learning Outcomes

By the end of Kindergarten, students are expected to:

- describe patterns in various ways, for example, using words, drawings, symbols, materials, actions, numbers
- extend and create patterns

Note:
From the PYP math scope and sequence for Patterns and Functions: The world is filled with pattern and there will be many
opportunities for learners to make this connection across the curriculum. A range of manipulatives can be used to explore patterns
including pattern blocks, attribute blocks, color tiles, calculators, number charts, beans and buttons.

DATA HANDLING

(CCCS: Measurement and Data MD)

Conceptual Understandings from the PYP- Phase 1

- We collect information to make sense of the world around us.
- Organizing objects and events helps us to solve problems.
Essential Questions
- What kinds of questions generate information?
- How can we use information from questions to create a table or chart?
- How do tables and charts help us organize our thinking?
Learning Outcomes
By the end of Kindergarten students are expected to:
- Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by
count (K.MD.3)
- represent information through pictographs and tally marks
- create living graphs using real objects and people
- sort and label real objects by attributes.
- describe real objects and events by attributes
Note: Learning Outcomes in Blue are from the PYP math scope/sequence Data Handling Phase 1 and are not represented in the
CCCS for Kindergarten. Due to Data Handling being closely connected to Units of Inquiry the outcomes remain as a conversation
point for teachers.
From PYP math scope and sequence: "Units of inquiry will be rich in opportunities for collecting and organizing information. It may be
useful for the teacher to provide scaffolds, such as questions for exploration, and the modelling of graphs and diagrams. Living graphs
refer to data that is organized by physically moving and arranging students or actual materials in such a way as to show and
compare quantities."
