Essential

❏ I can make and take apart numbers 11-19 by showing how many tens and ones are in the numbers. (NBT.1)

Note: The following Core Standards do not connect directly to the BELS but should be introduced/integrated in Kindergarten math when teaching measurement and geometry.

Nice to Know

❏ I can describe measurable attributes of an object like length and weight. (MD.1)

❏ I can describe objects in my environment using names of shapes. (G.1)

❏ I can tell where I see shapes by using position words. (G.1)

❏ I can correctly name shapes no matter their size or orientation. (G.2)

❏ I can identify shapes as two- dimensional (flat) or three-dimensional (solid).

(G.3) ❏ I can identify, compare, and sort 2-D and 3-D shapes. (G.4)

❏ I can make shapes by drawing or building them. (G.5)

❏ I can use simple shapes to make larger shapes. (G.6)

(Essential Standards): These standards are the main curricular focus of the grade. Tier 1 instructional time is spent on these standards to ensure all students are proficient on these standards. Common Formative and Summative assessments are administered to determine which students need interventions or enrichments.

Important Standards: These standards support or extend the BELS. Tier 1 instruction time is spent to ensure understanding. Student learning is assessed; but will not be a focus of intervention.

Nice to Know Standards: These standards are introduced and integrated during the grade as part of Tier 1 instruction.
