Number and Sense
K.1 The student, given two sets containing 10 or fewer concrete items, will identify and
describe one set as having more, fewer, or the same number of members as the other set
using the concept of one-to-one correspondence.
K.2 The student, given a set containing 10 or fewer concrete items, will
a) tell how many are in the set by counting the number of items orally;
b) select the corresponding numeral from a given set; and
c) write the numeral to tell how many are in the set.
K.3 The student, given an ordered set of three objects and/or pictures, will indicate the
ordinal position of each item, first through third, and the ordered position of each item from
left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and/or bottom-to-top.
K.4 The student, will investigate and recognize patterns from counting by fives and tens to 30,
using concrete objects and a calculator.
K.5 The student will count forward to 30 and backward from 10.
It is important that students learn these SOLs at an early age because it will help them in so many ways in the future. They need to know how to count in more ways then just by ones.
