This number sense lesson focuses on adding numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, the students read the addition problem, and then add the numbers counting from the first number. Finally, they write the answer and read the problem and answer out loud. In addition to the lesson, there are six pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

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.

This number sense lesson focuses on subtracting numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, the students read the subtraction problem and then subtract the numbers by taking away so many and counting the objects left. Finally, they write the answer and read the problem and answer out loud. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing items.

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.

This Measurement and Data lesson practices comparing the length of objects. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Review of the animation on the Concept Development pages prior to the lesson will be helpful, as it is meant to be read aloud. Manipulatives should be used as examples of longer, shorter, etc. Flashcards are provided as an extra resource.

This Measurement and Data lesson compares the weight of objects. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Various objects within the classroom can be used as demonstrations. Please review the animation on the Concept Development page. Animated text is intended to be read aloud by the teacher. Also, note that this lesson does not cover any form of density. All comparisons are being made between objects with similar densities. It would be worthwhile to separately cover the idea that some things may be small but heavy (a stapler, a textbook, etc.) while others are large and light (empty boxes, Styrofoam, etc.).

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.

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.

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.

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.

This Geometry lesson practices naming shapes. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. This lesson contains a Concept Development and Skill Development/Guided Practice for each shape. The lesson is meant to discuss the attributes of each shape, one at a time until students are able to recognize each of the shapes and name them based on their attributes. Flashcards are available for this lesson.
