CAUSE AND EFFECT
one-to-one correspondence - (correct Answer) - the concept that one number corresponds with one
object
RECOGNIZING NUMBERS - (correct Answer) - With increased exposure to written numbers in the
environment, such as in
books, at home, or outside, young children are better able to recognize numbers. Usually by
Kindergarten, children recognize numbers up to ten. They may be learning to write numbers at school.
NUMBER SENSE - (correct Answer) - Children gradually develop an understanding of what numbers
mean, how they are used,
and how numbers relate to each other.
Can relate to simple concepts of addition or subtraction.
SERIATION/ORDERING - (correct Answer) - to organize a set of objects in a certain
order, such as from smallest to largest
SEQUENCING/PATTERNING - (correct Answer) - When items are in a repeated
, sequence, they form a pattern.
COMPARING - (correct Answer) - Children learn to compare objects and they notice obvious similarities
and differences
among items. Preschoolers and Kindergartners can often compare objects that are familiar to
them, even if the items are not in sight.
CLASSIFYING/SORTING - (correct Answer) - Children become better at classifying objects by similar,
obvious physical
characteristics, such as size, color, height, length, or shape. Classifying similar objects is also known
as creating a set.
SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS - (correct Answer) - Recognize geometric shapes around them, and can better
describe the relationships
of objects in the environment. They may tell you that their "crayon rolled under the couch" or
that the dog is "sitting on the table eating the birthday cake."
MEASURING - (correct Answer) - In school, your preschooler or Kindergartner may be learning simple
measurements using
non-standard units, such as measuring how long something is using paper clips or blocks, instead of a
ruler. They come to learn how to classify objects based on weight (heavy/light); capacity (holds
more/less); and length (long/short).
TIME - (correct Answer) - A basic understanding of time concepts. For example, they may know
that "five minutes" is a short time - especially if they hear at school, "Clean-up time is in five minutes."
They understand concepts such as morning, afternoon, and night and words that describe time
such as before, after, or next, to name a few.
PREDICTING - (correct Answer) - Through experiences, children start to make predictions about what will
happen next.
PROBLEM SOLVING - (correct Answer) - Children this age can solve simple problems. For example, if you
say to your preschooler
or Kindergartner, "There are ten grapes and two children. How can we make sure that each of you gets
the same number of grapes?," they may use their skills in counting and grouping to make sure each child
gets an equal number. In school, they may be learning how to draw pictures to solve simple problems.
CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS - (correct Answer) - They understand if they go out in the rain, they
