requirements...(please print out) |

Definition
General
concepts and problem solving should fall into these five categories...
-
Numerical concepts and solving basic mathematical problems.
-
Demonstrate basic Geometric concepts...Geometry begins!
-
Measurement.
-
Algebra basics.
-
Data collection and analysis (basic Probability theory).
...and you thought your 1st grader was going to be learning "simple math".

|
Number
concepts
-
Read and write numbers from 0 - 99.
-
Value comparisons (greater than, less than, and
equal to).
-
Ordering of numbers.
-
Money value comparison (make use of coins).
-
Basic addition and subtraction (use numbers
0-10).
-
Basic problem solving. Should be able to
show problem solving and chain of reasoning using simple objects or pictures.
|
|
Geometric
concepts
-
Learn, categorize, and name 2nd and 3rd
dimensional shapes (flat and 3D objects).
-
Provide written and verbal evidence of
geometrical object categorization. The chain of logic MUST be
demonstrated proficiently and repeatedly.
|
|
Measurement
concepts
-
Estimate and exactly measure objects. (Stay
away from standard units of measurement!)
-
Use problem solving and addition/subtraction
concepts together on written and verbal measurement problems.
-
Time. Use "hand clocks" with the aid of
digital clocks to understand the concept of time in half hour increments.
|
|
Algebraic
concepts
-
Use graphs and hand tools/toys ("manipulatives")
to with patterns up to 4 objects (i.e. "ABCD")
-
Demonstrate use of repeating patterns in problem
solving.
|
|
Data
collection and Analysis
-
Classify information into groups.
-
Use graphs and pictures to demonstrate knowledge
of "grouping" or classification.
-
Record experiment results and group the data
together. (Good crossover with basic science)
