Course Description

This is unit 1 of 8 units. The sequence of units is available in the Read Me First Materials in each unit.

Section A: Exploring Our Tools
In this section, students discuss what it looks like to do math in their classrooms. They work with the math tools they will use during math activities and centers throughout the year.
Section B: Recognizing Quantities
In this section, students continue to explore math in their classrooms, focusing on small groups of objects or images. Students may begin to see dot images in arrangements that allow them to know how many without counting.
Section C: Are There Enough?
In this section, students count groups of objects by touching and counting, saying one number for each object. Students answer the question: Are there enough? and match and create groups with the same number of objects.
Section D: Counting Collections
In this section, students focus on the question: How many of us are here today? Students think about different ways to answer questions and represent the information.
