This planning guide is designed to help you plan and pace instruction. It outlines the performance indicators,
as laid out in the New York State Mathematics Standard 3, that are addressed in each Kindergarten activity,
and it includes notes and reminders related to implementation.
For each Kindergarten activity, there is a table similar to the one shown here.
Introduction
Copyright Wright Group/McGraw-Hill
The pacing column is aligned with
the New York City school calendar.
It can help you monitor your
progress through the program, and
it can serve as a reference as you
develop weekly lesson plans.
Pacing
A Core Activities: Main Activity
and B Teaching Options
The columns titled A Core Activities: Main
Activity and B Teaching Options are shaded
to emphasize the connection between these two
parts of each Kindergarten activity. The activities
in Part B build on the Key Concepts and Skills
highlighted for the Main Activity in Part A. The link
between specific Key Concepts and Skills and
their corresponding Part B activity or activities is
indicated by use of the See also statements.
A Core Activities: Main Activity
The first Core Activity on each Kindergarten
activity page is called the

Main Activity. The Key Concepts and Skills listed in
this column highlight the variety of mathematics
that students may access in the Main Activity
and show that each activity has significant
mathematics content for every student.
A Core Activities: Revisit Activity
The second Core Activity on each Kindergarten
activity page is called

the Revisit Activity. The Revisit activity repeats a
previous Main Activity, often with slight variations
to make it more advanced or to encourage
children to approach the activity in a new way.
Revisit Activities provide repeated exposure to
deepen childrens understanding of concepts.
They also provide essential review and practice
to develop and maintain skills.

New York State Mathematics Standards
The specific performance indicators from the New
York State Mathematics Standard 3 that link to the
mathematical content of the Main Activity and the
Teaching Options are shown at the top of this column.
The performance indicators are listed in the order
in which they appear in the NYS Mathematics Core
Curriculum.
The performance indicators that link to the mathematical
content of the Revisit Activity are shown at the bottom
of this column, and are listed in the order in which the
corresponding activities in the lesson appear.
Although particular process standards are highlighted
for many activities, it is important to note that the
process standards are integrated throughout all the
concepts taught during the school year.
Notes
The Notes column includes a variety of
information to help with planning. This column
indicates whether the activity includes a Home
Link or a Recognizing Student Achievement note.
It also features reminders and suggestions related
to using the Ongoing Daily Routines, Projects,
and Minute Math and to conducting Baseline,
Mid-Year, and End-of-Year periodic assessments.
B Teaching Options
Part B on each Kindergarten Everyday Mathematics

activity page is called Teaching Options. These
suggestions describe additional ways to explore the
content of the Main Activity. Teachers can select from
the Teaching Options to integrate mathematics into all
areas of the Kindergarten classroom and curriculum
and to help meet the needs of individual children.
Teaching Options often focus on a different curricular
area (such as science or literature) or another area
of the classroom (such as the Block or Dramatic Play
Center). Some Teaching Options are labeled Readiness,
Enrichment, Extra Practice, and ELL Support, each of
which is briefly described below:
Readiness activities introduce or develop the activity
content to support students as they work with the
Key Concepts and Skills in the Main Activity.
Enrichment activities provide ways for students to
apply or further explore Key Concepts and Skills.
Extra Practice activities provide students with
additional practice opportunities with the Key
Concepts and Skills.
ELL Support activities are designed to promote
development of language related to the Key
Concepts and Skills.
