PK.D.1.1
PK.D.1.1 Collect and organize information about objects and events in the environment.
In a Nutshell
This objective indicates that, through exploration and discovery, Pre-K students will begin to develop skills to gather and record information obtained through joyful interaction with their world. Using methods such as counting, informal surveys, and pictographs, students will be able to collect and record data that is meaningful to them in order to make discoveries about the world around them.
Student Actions

Teacher Actions
|
-
Build a productive mathematical disposition by gathering data that is meaningful and natural in their setting.
-
Communicate mathematically by organizing, sharing, and reacting to data with peers or a teacher.
-
Build procedural fluency by using manipulatives or recording tools to experiment with ways of organizing information.
|
-
Promote reasoning and problem-solving by providing opportunities for students to collect information that is meaningful to them and encourages their natural curiosity. (e.g., How many students like pizza? What is each child’s bedtime? How many of each vegetable is in the kitchen center?)
-
Facilitate meaningful math discourse by providing students with opportunities to share and discuss their findings, as well as how and why it was represented in a certain way (symbols on pictograph).
-
Support productive struggle by transcribing for students as they graphically record and organize information.

Key Understandings

Misconceptions
|
-
Counting is a way to gather data that represents quantity.
-
Information from the world around us can be collected and organized in a variety of useful ways.
-
Lists, graphs, and tables are math tools used to organize and compare data.
-
Collections of data help us notice similarities and differences in our world.
|
-
All information is relevant data (looking for apples, but counting oranges). Only adults are capable of making lists and charts or collecting data.
-
Our observations about the world are merely our thoughts and have no real meaning or relation to others’ ideas.
