Strand 1: COUNTING AND CARDINALITY
Counting and cardinality includes the ability to identify numerals by name, count in sequence, use one-to-one correspondence, and describe quantities of objects counted.

Standard Math 3 yr.1.1
Count to ten by ones.

Standard Math 3 yr.1.2

Begin to point to and count up to five objects.

Standard Math 3 yr.1.7
Begin to respond to the question "How many?".

Strand 2: OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING
Operations and algebraic thinking involve identifying and manipulating simple patterns, the understanding of addition as putting together and adding to, and the understanding of subtraction as taking apart and removing from.

Strand 3: MEASUREMENT AND DATA
Measurement and Data involve the ability to describe and compare measurable attributes of objects, classify objects, and count the number of objects in each category.

Standard Math 3 yr.3.1
Identify and describe measurable attributes (for example, big, small, tall, short).

Standard Math 3 yr.3.2
Begins in 4-year-old standard.

Standard Math 3 yr.3.3
Sort objects into given categories including color, size, shape, etc.

Standard Math 3 yr.3.4
With prompting and support, compare the number of objects in each category to identify which groups contain more or less, or are the same.

Strand 4: GEOMETRY
Geometry involves the ability to identify, describe, compare, and create shapes.
