CKMath Unit 1: Math in Our World
Focus:
Students begin their exploration of mathematical tools and notice numbers and quantities around them, while teachers gather information about students’ counting skills and understanding of number concepts. While this unit is designed to be accessible to all learners regardless of their prior experience, students will have opportunities to work with math tools and topics related to geometry, measurement, and data through a variety of centers. In the last section, students count collections of objects and people, reinforcing the idea that counting is a way to tell how many objects there are. Students are expected to count up to 10 objects at the completion of the unit.
The unit is also designed to give students time to learn the structures and routines for centers, to create norms for classroom learning, and to begin to build a mathematical community.
Number of Lessons: 16 and 1 optional
Instruction Time:
Approximately 60 minutes
(Please note that each lesson is designed for one instructional block, and may be divided into shorter or longer segments based on teacher pacing and student needs.)
