About the Mathematics in This Unit

Throughout this unit, students will be working toward these goals:

Benchmarks/Goals	Examples
Count, and count out, a set of up to 15 objects.	How many pennies are there? Can you make a tower with 15 cubes?
Figure out what is one more or one less than a number.	What's 1 more than 5? d

In our math class, students engage in math problems and activities and discuss the underlying concepts. They are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is important that children solve math problems accurately in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain his or her math thinking to you.

In the coming weeks, you will receive information about activities to do at home.
