Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

During this adventure, children learn the colors of the rainbow as they practice counting and representing quantities with numbers. Each section of this weeklong adventure is introduced by a video clip or online game that encourages children to explore math concepts and skills related to numbers and operations.

Content Standard(s):

Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: K

4. Connect counting to cardinality using a variety of concrete objects.

a. Say the number names in consecutive order when counting objects.

b. Indicate that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted in a set.

c. Indicate that the number of objects in a set is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.

d. Explain that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

Diverse Learning Needs:

Essential Skills:

Learning Objectives:
M.K.4.1: Define number and counting.
M.K.4.2: Identify correct number of objects for a given number up to 20.
M.K.4.3: Identify different size groups of objects up to 10.

a.
M.K.4.4: Count to 20 by ones.
M.K.4.5: Mimic counting objects.

b.
M.K.4.6: Know that the last number tells how many when counting 0 to 5 objects.
M.K.4.7: Mimic counting objects up to 20.
M.K.4.8: Count to 20 by ones.
M.K.4.9: Mimic counting to 20 by ones.

c.
M.K.4.10: Define one larger/one more.
M.K.4.11: Count objects in a group and identify total after adding one more.
M.K.4.12: Count in sequential order.
M.K.4.13: Mimic counting in sequential order.

Prior Knowledge Skills:

Count to 20 and above.
Mimic counting by ones.
Recognize numbers from one to ten.
Become interested in how many objects she/he has.
Continue to have an interest in counting.
Understand the concept of size and amount.
Notice same/different and some/all.
Understand that words can label sameness and differences.
Understand that some have more, and some have less.
Become more interested in the concept of some and all.
Given a set number of objects one through ten, answer the question "how many?"
Pair the number of objects counted with "how many."
Understand that the last number name tells the number of objects counted.
Establish one-to-one correspondence between numbers and objects when given a picture, a drawing or objects.
Pair a group of objects with a number representing the total number of objects in the group (up to ten objects).

Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards

AAS Standard:
M.AAS.K.4 Demonstrate one-to-one correspondence, pairing each object with one, and only one, number and each number with one, and only one, object (limit numbers and objects to five).
