Kindergarten Unit 3
Purpose Of This Unit:
This unit is designed to introduce the concept of joining (addition) and separating (subtraction) in the context of word
problems. This unit follows student’s understanding of skills related to counting and cardinality.

Use objects and pictures to represent real-world situations that involve joining (addition) and removal (subtraction).
Accurately solve real-world addition and subtraction problems.
Explore the addition and subtraction symbols while solving real-world problems.
Communicate their strategies used while solving addition and subtraction problems.
Identify whether the number of objects in a group is greater than, less than or equal to the number of objects in another
group.
Use one-to-one correspondence or other counting strategy
Understand the relationship between number labels (such as “4” naming a collection of four) and quantities.
Understand that counting by ones increases the quantity by one more.
Compare two numbers between one and ten when presented as written numerals.
Use addition and subtraction to solve problems.
Use strategies to solve problems (such s counting on, counting back, making ten).
Explain their strategy and reason for using it with others.

Standards
Comparing
K.CC.3
Numbers and
Addition/Subtraction
K.CC.5
Description
Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 020 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged
in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered
configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects
K.CC6
Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or
equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and
counting strategies.
K.CC.7
Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
K.OA.1
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings,
sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or
equations.
K.OA.2
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g.,
by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
K.OA.3
Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g.,
by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or
equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
K.OA.5
Fluently add and subtract within 5.
