In this lesson, the last of a seven-part unit from Illuminations titled “Let’s Count to 5,” students review the numbers they have learned during this unit by creating and comparing sets of zero to five objects and writing the cardinal number for each set. They use reasoning skills and communicate their findings.

North Carolina Curriculum Alignment

Mathematics (2004)

Grade 1

  • Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, and model whole numbers through 99 and compute with whole numbers.
    • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 99.
      • Connect the model, number word, and number using a variety of representations.
      • Use efficient strategies to count the number of objects in a set.
      • Read and write numbers.
      • Compare and order sets and numbers.
      • Build understanding of place value (ones, tens).
      • Estimate quantities fewer than or equal to 100.
      • Recognize equivalence in sets and numbers 1-99.
  • Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability - The learner will understand and use data and simple probability concepts.
    • Objective 4.01: Collect, organize, describe and display data using line plots and tallies.

Grade 2

  • Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, model, and compute with whole numbers through 999.
    • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 999.
      • Connect model, number word, and number using a variety of representations.
      • Read and write numbers.
      • Compare and order.
      • Rename.
      • Estimate.
      • Use a variety of models to build understanding of place value (ones, tens, hundreds).
  • Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability - The learner will understand and use data and simple probability concepts.
    • Objective 4.01: Collect, organize, describe and display data using Venn diagrams (three sets) and pictographs where symbols represent multiple units (2's, 5's, 10's).

Kindergarten

  • Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will recognize, model, and write whole numbers through 30.
    • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 30.
      • Connect model, number word (orally), and number, using a variety of representations.
      • Count objects in a set.
      • Read and write numerals.
      • Compare and order sets and numbers.
      • Use ordinals (1st-10th).
      • Estimate quantities fewer than or equal to 10.
      • Recognize equivalence in sets and numbers 1-10.
    • Objective 1.03: Solve problems and share solutions to problems in small groups.
  • Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability - The learner will collect, organize and display data.
    • Objective 4.01: Collect and organize data as a group activity.
    • Objective 4.02: Display and describe data with concrete and pictorial graphs as a group activity.
