§ Width
§ Height
§ Weight
§ Measure
§ Measurement
Describe the measurable attributes of a object using appropriate terms
K.MD.1.
Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
SAMPLE TASKS
Teacher prompts:
I (Given 2 objects) Tell attributes of one of the objects, using shorter/longer, heavier/lighter, taller/shorter
Explain yourself
Example: Measure how long the eraser is using unifix cubes. Write the answer on the line.
______unifix cubes
Common Core Learning Standards / Concepts / Embedded Skills / Vocabulary
Describe and compare measurable attributes. / Measurement / Compare two objects using measurement vocabulary (longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, etc) / § Length
§ Longer than
§ Heavier
§ Shorter than
§ Lighter
§ Longer
§ Side
§ Width
§ Height
§ Weight
§ Measure
§ Measurement
§ Compare
§ Sort
Describe how to compare the attributes of two objects, as lining them up at the same starting point or weighing them
K.MD.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. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. / Name, discuss and compare attributes of length and weight
Sort objects as heavier than / lighter than or longer than/ shorter than
SAMPLE TASKS
Teacher prompts:
I Compare 2 objects, children, etc… Use the terms longer/shorter, taller, shorter to explain length and height
II Compare 2 objects and use the terms heavier/lighter to explain weight
III Explain your answer
Examples: Put an X on the rectangle that is taller. Put an X on the animal that is heavier.
Put an X on the shorter snake.
Common Core Learning Standards / Concepts / Embedded Skills / Vocabulary
Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. / Data / Sort objects by a given attribute / § Sort
§ Classify
§ Attribute names: colors, sizes and shapes
Compare groups of sorted objects by count and display data
K.MD.3.
Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. / Explain the attributes used when sorting objects
Sort objects as heavier than / lighter than or longer than/ shorter than
Count the number of objects in a set, up to 20
Write the number that match the quantity of a given set
SAMPLE TASKS
Teacher prompts:
I (Given manipulatives) Sort by one attribute
Explain your answer
II Regroup, sort a different way. Explain your new sort and count again.
Example: Given colored bears, sort by color and count. Write how many of each color.
Given colored bears, sort by size and count. Write how many of each size.
_____ Red bears _____ Blue bears _____ Green bears _____ Large bears _____ Medium bears _____ Small bears
