Unit 8, Lesson 8
Find Someone Who, Find Something That
Kindergarten
Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to answer mathematical questions about their classmates and community.
Lesson Narrative
Because students are often most comfortable asking “how many?” questions, this lesson exposes students to many different kinds of mathematical questions that they can ask about their community with prompts, such as “Find 2 things whose lengths you can compare.” The activities in this lesson prepare students to develop a wide variety of their own mathematical questions in future lessons.
If students need additional support with the concepts in this lesson, refer back to Unit 4, Section B in the curriculum materials.
