classify objects by observable physical properties, including, shape, color, and texture, and attributes such as larger and smaller and heavier and lighter;
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
classify objects by observable physical properties, including, shape, color, and texture, and attributes such as larger and smaller and heavier and lighter;
classify matter by observable physical properties, including texture, flexibility, and relative temperature, and identify whether a material is a solid or liquid;
measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float in water;
describe and classify samples of matter as solids, liquids, and gases and demonstrate that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container;
classify and describe matter using observable physical properties, including temperature, mass, magnetism, relative density (the ability to sink or float in water), and physical state (solid, liquid, gas);
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Patterns of similarities allow objects to be grouped and can be used to classify objects based on properties.
It is important to consider how changes in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system’s structure or performance. Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object or its environment. Proportion is the ratio of one quantity to another. Quantity is a count of a set of objects or a measurement of a substance. It is important to note that in kindergarten – grade 2, students will only describe objects in terms of size (scale) and quantity.
Objects can be classified by size and weight (quantities). Comparing one object's size to another object's size is a relative scale comparison.
Math.1.6.A classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes based on attributes using informal geometric language
Math.1.6.B distinguish between attributes that define a two-dimensional or three-dimensional figure and attributes that do not define the shape
Math.1.7.A give an example of a measurable attribute of a given object including length, capacity, and weight
Math.1.7.C measure the same object/distance with units of two different lengths and describe how and why the measurements differ
Math.1.7.D describe a length to the nearest whole unit using a number and a unit
ELAR.1.1.C share information and ideas about the topic under discussion, speaking clearly at an appropriate pace and using the conventions of language
ELAR.1.13.C identify and gather relevant sources and information to answer the questions with adult assistance
TA.1.5.A explore and collect many types of data such as preferences or daily routines of people, events, or objects
