Mathematics
At school, students will:
Break apart numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way
(e.g., 5 = 2 + 3, 4 + 1 = 5, and 5 = 5 + 0).
Fluently add and subtract within 5.
Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight.
Compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common to see which has
more of/less of the attribute.
Compose (put together) and decompose (break apart) numbers from 11 to 19
into ten ones and some more ones using objects and drawings.
Describe similarities and differences when comparing two-dimensional and
three-dimensional shapes (e.g., the number of sides and vertices (corners) and
with sides of the same length.
Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes (e.g., joining two triangles with
full sides touching to form a rectangle).

closed figures).
Combine two- or three-dimensional shapes to create other shapes.
