Units
Unit 1
Count to 10
Counting objects one at a time, matching numbers to amounts, counting on and back, putting numbers in order, and knowing that nothing is zero.
TEKS student expectation: K.2(C); K.2(D) · counting a set of objects and knowing the last number said tells how many
Unit 2
Numbers to 20
Counting to 20 forward and back from any number, recognizing small groups at a glance, and comparing two numbers.
TEKS student expectation: K.2(A); K.2(B); K.2(F) · counting forward and backward to 20, reading and writing numbers to 20, and one more and one less
Unit 3
See It Fast
Subitizing means knowing how many are in a small group without counting. Practice with dice, dominoes and fingers: show a number and ask how many.
TEKS student expectation: K.2(D) · recognizing the number in a small group at a glance
Unit 4
More, Less, Same
Comparing groups by matching them one to one, seeing equal as balanced and unequal as unbalanced on a scale, and reading simple picture graphs.
TEKS student expectation: K.2(E); K.2(G); K.2(H) · comparing sets and numbers up to 20 with words like more, fewer and the same
Unit 5
Make 5 and 10
Using 5 and 10 as anchors (fingers, five and ten frames), finding how many more make 5 or 10, and breaking numbers into two parts.
TEKS student expectation: K.2(I) · composing and decomposing numbers up to 10
Unit 6
Add & Take Away
Small story problems where some join or some leave (totals to 10), plus finding one more and one less.
TEKS student expectation: K.3(A); K.3(B) · joining to add and separating to subtract, and solving word problems within 10
Unit 7
Count to 100
Counting to 100 by ones and by tens, counting on from any number, and seeing 11 to 19 as ten and some more ones.
TEKS student expectation: K.5 · reciting numbers up to 100 by ones and tens, beginning with any number
Unit 8
Shapes & Sizes
Naming flat shapes and solid objects by one feature (sides, corners, rolls or not), and comparing things by size, height, length, weight and how much they hold.
TEKS student expectation: K.6(A); K.6(D); K.7(B) · naming flat shapes and their attributes, and comparing objects by length and weight
Unit 9
Build with Blocks
Practices naming and describing 3-D objects (sphere, cube, cylinder, cone) by how they look and move, and choosing blocks to build with. At home, build a tower and talk about which block goes where and why.
TEKS student expectation: K.6(B); K.6(C) · identifying cylinders, cones, spheres and cubes in the real world, and their flat faces
Unit 10
Sort & Count
Sorting things into groups, counting each group, saying which group has more, and choosing a question we can answer by asking the class.
TEKS student expectation: K.8(A); K.8(B); K.8(C) · sorting data into two or three groups and reading picture graphs
Unit 11
Coins
Your child names the four US coins (penny, nickel, dime and quarter) by how they look, and learns that coins are money we use to pay for things.
TEKS student expectation: K.4 · naming US coins, including pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Unit 12
Work, Wants & Needs
Personal financial literacy: your child learns that people earn income by working, tells income from gifts, names skills that jobs need, and sorts wants from needs.
TEKS student expectation: K.9(A); K.9(B); K.9(C); K.9(D) · ways to earn income, income and gifts, job skills, and wants and needs
