| 1 | MA-1.9 | create and solve story and picture problems involving one-step solutions, using basic addition and subtraction facts. |
| 1 | SC-1.5a | animal characteristics. Key concepts: life needs (air, food, water, and a suitable place to live); |
| 1 | SC-1.5b | animal characteristics:body coverings, body shape, appendages, and methods of movement) |
| 1 | SC-1.5c | animal characteristics. Key concepts include other characteristics (wild/tame, water homes/land homes). |
| 2 | MA-2.1 | The student, given a simple addition or subtraction fact, will recognize and describe the related facts which represent and describe the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction |
| 2 | MA-2.25 | identify,create, and extend a wide variety of patterns, using numbers concrete objects and pictures. |
| 2 | MA-2.26 | solve problems by completing a numerical sentence involving the basic facts for addition and subtraction. Examples include: 3 + __ = 7, or 9 _ __ = 2. Students willcreate story problems, using the numerical sentences. |
| 2 | MA-2.3 | identify the ordinal positions first through twentieth, using an ordered set of objects. |
| 2 | MA-2.8b) | find the difference, using various methods of calculation (mental computation, concrete materials, and paper and pencil). |
| 2 | SC-2.4a | plant and animal life cycles. Key concepts include some animals (frogs and butterflies) undergo distinct stages during their lives, while others generally resemble their parents; and |
| 2 | SC-2.5a | living things are part of a system. Key concepts include living organisms are interdependent with their living and nonliving surroundings; and |
| 2 | SC-2.5b | living things are part of a system. Key concepts include habitats change over time due to many influences. |
| 2 | SC-2.8c | Plants importance Key concepts include plants provide homes and food for many animals and prevent soil from washing away. |
| 3 | MA-3.24 | recognize and describe a variety of patterns formed using concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures, and extend the pattern, using the same or different forms (concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures). |
| 3 | MA-3.25a) | investigate andcreate patterns involving numbers, operations (addition and multiplication), and relations that model the identity and commutative properties for addition and multiplication; and |
| 3 | MA-3.4 | recognize and use the inverse relationships between addition/subtraction and multiplication/division to complete basic fact sentences. Students will use these relationships to solve problems such as 5 + 3 = 8 and 8 _ 3 =. |
| 3 | SC-3.10a | Key concepts include the interdependency of plants and animals; |
| 3 | SC-3.4a | animal adaptations: methods of gathering and storing food, finding shelter, defending themselves, and rearing young; |
| 3 | SC-3.4b | animal adaptations: hibernation, migration, camouflage, mimicry, instinct, and learned behavior. |
| 3 | SC-3.8b | Key concepts include animal and plant life cycles. |
| 4 | SC-4.5e | Key concepts include life cycles |
| 4 | SC-4.8b | Virginia natural resources. Key concepts include animals and plants; |
| K | MA-K.18 | identify, describe, and extend a repeating relationship (pattern) found in common objects, sounds, and movements. |
| K | MA-K.2a) | tell how many are in the set by counting the number of items orally; |
| K | MA-K.2b) | select the corresponding numeral from a given set; and |
| K | MA-K.6 | add and subtract whole numbers, using up to 10 concrete items. |
| K | MA-K1 | The student, given two sets containing 10 or fewer concrete items, will identify and describe one set as having more, fewer, or the same number of members as the other set, using the concept of one-to-one correspondence. |
| K | SC-K.6a | basic needs plants and animals. Key concepts include living things change as they grow, and they need food, water, and air to survive; |
| K | SC-K.6b | basic needs plants and animals. Key concepts include plants and animals live and die (go through a life cycle); and |
| K | SC-K.6c | Key concepts include offspring of plants and animals are similar but not identical to their parents and to one another. |
| K | SC-K.8c | simple patterns in daily life. Key concepts include animal and plant growth |
