    • K.SS.1
      Use direct comparison to compare two objects based on a single attribute, such as
      length including height
      mass
      capacity.

      Achievement Indicators:
      - KSS1.1 Compare the height of two given objects; and explain how they compare using the words shorter, longer, taller, or almost the same.
      - KSS1.2 Compare the length of two given objects; and explain how they compare using the words shorter, longer, or almost the same.
      - KSS1.3 Compare the mass of two given objects; and explain how they compare, using the words lighter, heavier or almost the same.
      - KSS1.4 Compare the capacity of two given objects; and explain how they compare, using the words less, more, (bigger, smaller) or almost the same.
    • K.SS.2
      Sort 3-D objects using a single attribute and explain the sorting rule.
      Achievement Indicators:
      - KSS2.1 Identify a common attribute in a given set of 3-D objects.
      - KSS2.2 Sort a set of 3-D objects, using a single attribute such as size or shape, and explain the sorting rule.
      - KSS2.3 Determine the difference between two pre-sorted sets by explaining a sorting rule used to sort them.
    • K.SS.3
      Build and describe 3-D objects.
      Achievement Indicators:
      - KSS3.1 Describe a given 3-D object, using words such as big, little, round, like a box and like a can.
      - KSS3.2 Create a representation of a given 3-D object, using materials such as modelling clay and building blocks, and compare the representation to the original 3-D object.
  • Patterns and Relations
    • K.PR.1
      Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (two or three elements) by:
      identifying
      reproducing
      extending
      creating
      patterns using manipulatives, sounds and actions.

      Achievement Indicators:
      - KPR1.1 Distinguish between repeating patterns and nonrepeating sequences in a given set by identifying the part that repeats.
      - KPR1.2 Copy a given repeating pattern, e.g., actions, sound, colour, size, shape, orientation, and describe the pattern.
      - KPR1.3 Extend repeating patterns to two more repetitions.
      - KPR1.4 Create a repeating pattern, using manipulatives, musical instruments or actions, and describe the pattern.
      - KPR1.5 Identify and describe a repeating pattern in the classroom, school and outdoors; e.g., in a familiar song, in a nursery rhyme.
