Content Emphasis By Clusters in Grade PK

Progressions from Common Core State Standards in Mathematics

Send Feedback to MSDE’s Mathematics Team

Lesson seeds are ideas that can be used to build a lesson aligned to the CCSS. Lesson seeds are not meant to be all-inclusive, nor are they substitutes for instruction. When developing lessons from these seeds, teachers must consider the needs of all learners. It is also important to build checkpoints into the lessons where appropriate formative assessment will inform a teachers instructional pacing and delivery..

Content Emphases by Clusters in Grade PK

According to the partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), some clusters require greater emphasis than others. The table below shows PARCC's relative emphasis for each cluster. Prioritization does not imply neglect or exclusion of material. Clear priorities are intended to ensure that the relative importance of content is properly attended to. Note that the prioritization is in terms of cluster headings.

Key:

Major Clusters

□ Supporting Clusters

Additional Clusters

Counting and Cardinality

Know number names and the count sequence

Count to tell the number of objects.

Compare quantites.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Understanding addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

Number and operations in Base Ten

Work with numbers 0-10 to gain foundations for place value.

Number and Operations - Fractions

Develop understanding of fractions as numbers.

Measurement and Data

Describe and compare measurable attributes.

Sort objects into categories and compare qualities.

Geometry

Identify and describe two-dimensional shapes (circles, traingles, rectangle; including a square which is a special rectangle).

Work with three-dimensional shapes to gain foundation for geometric thinking.
