Domain - Measurement and Data
Cluster - Describe and compare measurable attributes.
[PK.MD.A.1] - Recognize the attributes of length, area, weight, and capacity of everyday objects using appropriate vocabulary (e.g., long, short, tall, heavy, light, big, small, wide, narrow).
- Attribute
A common feature of a set of figures. - Capacity
The maximum amount or number that can be contained or accommodated, e.g., a jug with a one-gallon capacity; the auditorium was filled to capacity.
[PK.CC.C.5] -
Use comparative language, such as more/less than, equal to, to compare and describe collections of objects.
[PK.MD.A.2] -
Compare the attributes of length and weight for two objects, including longer/shorter, same length; heavier/lighter, same weight; holds more/less, holds the same amount.
[PK.MD.B.3] -
Sort, categorize, and classify objects by more than one attribute.
[PK.G.A.1] -
Identify relative positions of objects in space, and use appropriate language (e.g., beside, inside, next to, close to, above, below, apart).
[PreK.ESS.3.1] -
Engage in discussion and raise questions using examples about local resources (including soil and water) humans use to meet their needs.
[PreK.LS.1.1] -
Compare, using descriptions and drawings, the external body parts of animals (including humans) and plants and explain functions of some of the observable body parts. Clarification Statement: Examples can include comparison of humans and horses: humans have two legs and horses four, but both use legs to move.
[PreK.LS.1.3] -
Use their five senses in their exploration and play to gather information.
[PreK.LS.3.1] -
Use observations to explain that young plants and animals are like but not exactly like their parents. Clarification Statement: Examples of observations include puppies that look similar but not exactly the same as their parents.
[PreK.LS.3.2] -
Use observations to recognize differences and similarities among themselves and their friends.
[PreK.PS.2.1] -
Using evidence, discuss ideas about what is making something move the way it does and how some movements can be controlled.
[PreK.PS.2.2] -
Through experience, develop awareness of factors that influence whether things stand or fall. Clarification Statement: Examples of factors in children’s construction play include using a broad foundation when building, considering the strength of materials, and using balanced weight distribution in a block building.
