  2. California Preschool Learning Foundations • Describe typical development, under conditions appropriate for healthy development, rather than aspirational expectations for children's behavior. • Assume learning for all children occurs in everyday environments through social interactions, relationships, activities, and play. • Are guidelines and teaching tools, not a list of items to be taught or used for assessment.

  3. California Preschool Learning Foundations • Are intended to be representative of and accessible to all learners, including children with disabilities and those learning English as a second language. • Incorporate universal design for learning by encouraging multiple and various meansof: • Representation • Engagement • Expression

  4. Preschool Learning Foundationsin Mathematics • Identify behaviors in mathematics learning that are typical of children who will be ready to learn what is expected of them in kindergarten. • Provide age-appropriate competencies expected or goals for older 3 year olds and older 4 year olds. • Are intended to be guidelines and tools for instructional practice, not limits on the way teachers support children’s learning at different levels.

  5. School Readiness • Focusing on the child’s readiness for school in mathematics learning acknowledges that there must be appropriate social-emotional, cognitive, and language development, as well as appropriate motivation (p. 143, PLF, V1).

  6. Foundations in Mathematics: Five Developmental Strands • Number Sense • Algebra and Functions • Measurement • Geometry • Mathematical Reasoning

  7. Number Sense • Important aspects of counting, number relationships, and operations (p. 145, PLF, V1).

  8. Number Sense

  9. Number Sense • Counting is foundational for future understanding of mathematics. • Building blocks for counting, include understanding: • The sequence of number words. • One-to-one correspondence. • Cardinality.

  10. Number Sense • One-to-one correspondence • Understanding that one and only one number word is used for each object in the array of objects being counted. • Cardinality • Knowing that the last number assigned to the last object counted gives the total number in the set.

  11. Number Sense • Subitize • The ability to quickly and accurately determine the quantity of objects in a small group (of up to five objects) without actually counting the objects.

  12. Algebra and Functions(Classification and Patterning) • Sorting and classifying objects; recognizing, extending, and creating patterns (p. 145, PLF, V1).

  13. Algebra and Functions(Classification and Patterning)

  14. Algebra and Functions

  15. Algebra and Functions • Classification • The sorting, grouping, or categorizing of objects according to an established criteria. • Attribute • A property or characteristic of objects that can be used as a basis for grouping or sorting.

  16. Measurement • Comparing and ordering objects by length, weight, or capacity; precursors of measurement (p. 146, PLF, V1).

  17. Measurement

  18. Geometry • Properties of objects (shape, size, position) and the relation of objects in space (p. 146, PLF, V1).

  19. Geometry

  20. Geometry • Shape knowledge • The recognition, naming and understanding of shape characteristics and properties (Clements 2004a). • Space • The recognition, naming and understanding of location, direction, distance and identification of objects (Clements, 1999).

  21. Mathematical Reasoning • Using mathematical thinking to solve problems in play and everyday activities (p. 147, PLF, V1).

  22. Mathematical Reasoning
