[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common core math standards in K and first grade are not the best. [b]The basics need to come first[/b]. Would you try to read a Russian language newspaper without first knowing the Russian alphabet?[/quote] The Common Core basic standards for end of year of Kindergarten include: - count to 100 - write numerals to 10 - draw pictures or use objects to show addition and subtraction (i.e. if told 2+3 child can draw 2 cats plus 3 cats, and then count to get 5 cats.) - do the above for numbers that add up to 10 - break numbers up to 10 into two groups. For example, if given 6 buttons, be able to break them into 4+2, or 3+ 3, etc. And then beable to WRITE 4 under the group that has 4, and 2 under the group that has 2. - know what two numbers add up to 10. (1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6 , 5 and 5) - know math addition and subtraction facts to 5 fluently (from memory, not needing to count on your fingers) These standards ARE the basics.[/quote]
