In this assessment task students will cut and classify pictures. They will be asked to explain how the pictures are sorted, count the number in each group, identify the group that is greater and write the correct number from 1-20. Assessment sheets and a rubric are provided.

Move tiles into the correct order for an arugment essay with a claim, evidence and explanation.

In this assessment task students will use data to create a picture graph and a bar graph. They will sort pictures into four categories. They also answer questions to compare the animals they graphed using addition and subtraction problems. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task students are asked to sort buttons by the number of holes. They will label how they sorted the groups and then draw a circle around the group with the largest number of buttons. An assessment sheet and rubric are provided.

This file contains easy to implement math center ideas for Kindergarten, Cluster 1.

This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 1, geometry standards.

Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day.

At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.

This file contains directions and materials for Cluster 1 math games.

Math games are fun, motivating, and provide opportunities for students to build number concepts, reasoning, and fluency. These games may be used as math stations or as whole group learning opportunities.
