PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.1.K.A.1 Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1). (K.CC.2) 

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.1.K.A.1 Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). (K.CC.3)

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.1.K.A.3 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group. (K.CC.6)

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.1.K.A.3 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. (K.CC.7) 

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.1.K.B.1 Compare and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into tens and ones and some further ones, e.g. by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation, understanding that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ones.  (K.NBT.1)

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.2.K.A.1 Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.  (K.OA.1)

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.2.K.A.1 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. (K.OA.3)

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.3.K.A.1 Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms. (K.G.1) 

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.3.K.A.1 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. (K.G.2)

PA.CCSS.Math.Content.CC.2.3.K.A.1 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and other attributes. (K.G.4)

With the Kindergarten Common Core State Standards for Counting and Cardinality, students master the understanding of numbers to 20.  They can count, read, and write numbers from 0 to 20.  They can compare numbers between 1 and 10 and can count objects and understand that the last number name tells the number of objects counted.  Students entering first grade should also be fluent in counting forward from a given number other than 1.

 

Each lesson has differentiation options for each portion of the lesson.  Additional differentiation options are listed with directions and student masters in the Teacher’s Guide to Games.  

Students will play a variety of games that directly support the content of the lesson and the overall goals for the unit. Games for unit one include:
