About the Mathematics in This Unit
Dear Family,
Our class is starting a new unit in mathematics called Counting Quantities, Comparing Lengths. The focus of this unit is on counting and comparing quantities and beginning to explore measurement by directly comparing objects to see which is longer.
Throughout this unit, students will be working toward these goals:
| BENCHMARKS/GOALS | EXAMPLES |
|---|---|
| Count and count out a set of up to 10 objects. |
How many buttons are there?
“Can you count out 8 pencils?” |
| Describe length and decide which of two objects is longer. |
