Activity that Addresses this Benchmark
1.1.1 - Count and order numbers to 100 We're Into Pumpkins Students count the seeds contained within a pumpkin (often hundreds) during an investigation of pumpkins.
1.1.2 - Identify and write numerals to 100    
1.1.3 - Count backward from 20    
1.1.4 - Count by 2's to 20, and 10's to 100    
1.1.5 - Group objects by 2's, 5's and 10's    
1.1.6 - Identify position using ordinal numbers    
1.1.7 - Connect number words and numerals to the quantities they represent (0 - 10)    
1.1.8 - Represent and explain fractions (i.e., one half, one fourth) as part of a whole and part of a set using concrete materials/drawings We're Into Pumpkins Students work together in groups to estimate, and then measure the circumference, diameter and height of their pumpkin.
1.1.9 - Identify place value for ones and tens    
1.1.10 - Compare two digit number using symbols; i.e., >, <, =    
1.1.11 - Use grade-appropriate terms when communicating about addition and subtraction; i.e., sum, difference    
Operations and Their Properties
1.1.12 - Use symbols to write addition and subtraction number sentences; i.e., +, -, =    
Computational Fluency and Estimation
1.1.13 - Recall addition facts and subtraction facts (0-10)    
1.1.14 - Estimate the number of objects and check by counting We're Into Pumpkins Through hands-on, interdisciplinary activities, students learn about pumpkins as fruits and as food sources. They predict, measure or count, record, and draw conclusions about characteristics of pumpkins.

Standard 2: Geometry and Spatial Sense
Two- and Three-Dimensional Shapes, Geometric Properties and Relationships FLP Lessons
Activity that Addresses this Benchmark
1.2.1 - Identify, compare, draw, and sort two-dimensional figures; i.e., circle, triangle, rectangle, square, oval, and diamond    
1.2.2 - Identify three-dimensional objects; i.e., pyramid, cube, cone, cylinder, sphere    
Coordinate Geometry

Transformation and Symmetry
1.2.3 - Identify lines of symmetry in two-dimensional figures    
Visualization, Spatial Reasoning, and Geometric Modeling   
1.2.4 - Arrange and describe objects in space by proximity, position, and direction; e.g., near, far, below, above, up, down, behind, in front of, next to, left or right of

Standard 3: Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability  
1.3.1 - Identify and display various forms of data in their world using charts and graph; e.g., tally charts and bar graphs We're Into Pumpkins Students put collected data about pumpkins into a graph.
Let's Celebrate! Students list and tally the total times that each celebration was selected during interviews. Students make a simple bar or picture graph to show favorite celebrations.
Germ Busters Students use the information that was recorded and put into graphs about the growth of microbes on three different potatoes. The students use the graphs to determine which potatoes grew the least microbes; the one handled by unwashed hands, the one handled by washed hands, or the not handled potato.
Lunchtime Favorites Students create Venn diagrams to help them compare and contrast information about the foods they eat.
Tomatoes to Ketchup. Chickens to Omelettes Students sort types of processed foods into groups based on the raw food source. They create Venn diagrams for processed foods made from more than one raw food.
1.3.2 - Read and interpret tally charts and picture graphs as sources of information We're Into Pumpkins Students put collected data about pumpkins into a graph.

Germ Busters Students use the information that was recorded and put into graphs about the growth of microbes on three different potatoes. The students use the graphs to determine which potatoes grew the least microbes; the one handled by unwashed hands, the one handled by washed hands, or the not handled potato.
1.3.3 - Sort objects by common attribute Seed Surprises By sorting and planting seeds, students discover seeds come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, as well as produce plants.
  Fruits and Vegetables Students identify and compare fruits and other edible plant parts through a fast-paced game. The students compare and contrast similarities and differences between fruits and other edible plant parts.
  We're Into Pumpkins Students count the seeds contained within a pumpkin (often hundreds) during an investigation of pumpkins. Seeds could then be sorted based on size.
  School Ground Caretakers Students observe and collect items on the school ground, choose their own special place, and work with school groundkeepers to be respectful caretakers of their outdoor environment. The students group the found objects according to various categories.

Standard 4: Measurement
Measurable attributes, measurement systems and units FLP Lessons
Activity that Addresses this Benchmark
1.4.1 - Use the days of the week to show knowledge of yesterday, today, and tomorrow Germ Busters Students conduct an experiment about microbial growth on three potatoes, one that has not been handled, one that has been handled by unwashed hands and one that has been handled by washed hands. The potatoes are observed over a period of hours, then days, as the bacteria grows on the potatoes.
1.4.2 - Tell time to the hour and half-hour using digital and analog clocks    
1.4.3 - Estimate and verify by measuring, length, weight, or capacity using nonstandard units We're Into Pumpkins Students work together in groups to estimate, and then measure the circumference, diameter and height of their pumpkin.
1.4.4 - Estimate and verify by measuring, length to the nearest inch, foot, and centimeter We're Into Pumpkins Students work together in groups to estimate, and then measure the circumference, diameter and height of their pumpkin.
1.4.5 - Identify a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter and state its value    
1.4.6 - Count a like set of pennies, nickels, or dimes to $1.00    
1.4.7 - Demonstrate that different combinations of coins (i.e., pennies, nickels and dimes) can have the same value    
1.4.8 - Sequence events with respect to time; e.g., yesterday, today, tomorrow Seasons Through the Year To build awareness of seasonal change, students use their own birthdates, a comparison of seasons in different settings, and self made books.
Measurement Tools, Techniques, and Formulas   
1.4.9 - Identify the appropriate tool used to measure length (i.e., ruler), weight (i.e, scale), time (i.e., clock, calendar) and temperature (i.e., thermometer) We're Into Pumpkins Students work together in groups to estimate, and then measure the circumference, diameter and height of their pumpkin.
