Chapter Essential Question:How can comparing objects help you measure them?

Before
(Preschool) / Chapter Eleven Standards
Kindergarten / After
(Grade One)
Compare lengths.
Compare weights. / Measurement and Data 1: Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
  • I can describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
/ Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
(1.MD.1) (1.MD.2)
Tell and write time.
(1.MD.3)
Measurement and Data 2: 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.
  • I can directly compare the lengths of two objects.
  • I can directly compare the heights of two objects.
  • I can solve problems by using the strategy draw a picture.
  • I can directly compare the weights of two objects.

Each day the math block will begin with 15 minutes of Daily Math Review and Mental Math. The focus of DMR should be either prerequisite standard skills or previous chapter concepts that were not mastered. The focus of mental math should be based on the current Chapter’s skills and concepts. Adjust the amount of questions in DMR and MM to fit into the 15 minute time block.

Suggested Chapter Pacing

All lessons are paced for one day, unless otherwise indicated. Teachers may adjust to meet students’ needs.
