4th Nine Weeks

As a continued effort to keep parents and guardians informed of the expectations and
content being covered in math class this year, this informational handout will be
provided for each nine weeks. Its intent is to assist in guiding you in ways to support
your child in deepening their mathematical understanding.
Our goal is to keep a balance of skill-based learning along with enhancing our
students ability to problem solve and think conceptually.

1) I can count to 100 by ones and tens. (K.CC.1)
2) I can count from a given number up to 100. (K.CC.2)
3) I can write numbers 0-20. I can write the number to show how many are in a
group. (K.CC.3)
4) I can count 0-20 objects in a line, a rectangular array, and a circle. I can count
