Connections Pre-K Sampler

34 ii Unit 5 Pre-K Unit 5 introduces several attributes of measurement —length, height, width, thickness, weight, and capacity. Students visually compare the length or height of several pictures. Theymeasure length using non-standardmeasurements such as a hand, a foot, paper clips, and cubes. They estimate whichmight weighmore or weigh less, and become familiar with a balance scale. Also, students visually compare the capacity of various containers to see whichmight holdmore or less. They estimate the duration of events, and the temperature (hot/cold) of objects. They cover a larger shape with smaller shapes to explore the concept of area.

PK-14 Compare and order objects differing in just one attribute: big, little, biggest, smallest, same size; longer, longest; shorter, shortest, same length; taller, tallest, same height; wide, narrow, same width; thick, thin. PK-18 Identify which activity takesmore time or less time. PK-19 Participate in a discussion about daily schedule. PK-20 Estimate andmeasure length and height using arbitrary units. Compare and order objects by length and height. PK-21 Estimate and compare (informally) the weight and capacity of two objects. Understand concepts of area and temperature.
