How do we align investigations materials with our CCS Curriculum Maps? Let’s pick out what the “Student will be able

to do…” from the CCS curriculum map. Verbally count in sequential order Read, write, identify numerals (0-20) Identify the amount of objects in a set using one to one

correspondence Count objects in different arrangements to answer “How many?” See a quantity and be able to name one more

Each table will be given a specific objective to focus on and look through Sessions 2.1, 2.2, & 2.3 and align materials/activities that match your specific objective.
