Show the Meaning of Addition
This number sense lesson focuses on showing the meaning of adding. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students count and write the number of objects in each group, and put them together to show the meaning of adding. Then, they write the total amount and read the problem aloud. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

Decompose Numbers 11 to 19
This Numbers and Operations in Base Ten lesson focuses on decomposing numbers 11 to 19. As prerequisites, students should be able to write numbers from 0 to 20 (K.CC.3), and understand the relationship between numbers and quantities (K.CC.4). The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments.

Compose Numbers 11 to 19


Compare the Capacity of Objects
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on comparing the capacity of objects. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students look at two photos of objects. Then, they point to the object that holds more and circle it. Finally, they cross out the object that holds less. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

Identify Days of the Week
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on identifying the days of the week, using yesterday, today, and tomorrow with the days of the week. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, the teacher reads a problem, such as "Pretend today is Monday. What day was yesterday?" The student then circles the correct day of the week. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

Use Clocks to Tell Time
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on using clocks to tell time. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, the students look at a photo of two analog clocks and one digital clock. By looking at the short hand on the analog clocks they have to match it to the same time on the digital clock. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

Name the Days of the Week
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on naming the days of the week. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, the students track with the teacher in reading the days in sequence. Then, they identify a day of the week that is missing, if any. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

Identify the Time of Everyday Events
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on identifying the time of everyday events. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, the students look at a picture of an event and then think about when that event happens during the day. Finally, they find each time in the timeline and identify the correct time on a choice of digital clocks. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

(A) Identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles
K.6.D(D) Identify attributes of two-dimensional shapes using informal and formal geometric language interchangeably
K.6.E(E) Classify and sort a variety of regular and irregular two- and three-dimensional figures regardless of orientation or size
