Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Communicate understanding of separateness by recognizing objects that are not joined together. Communicate understanding of set by recognizing a group of objects sharing an attribute.

Distal Precursor

Count all objects in a set to communicate the total number of objects in a set. Identify sets having the same number of objects. Identify a set containing a different number of objects than the other two sets.

Proximal Precursor

Use models such as concrete manipulatives, diagrams, pictures, or technology to compare two sets of objects up to 10, and communicate that the number of objects in one set is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in the other set.

Target

Compare two numbers up to 10 using the symbols >, <, and = to show that one number is greater than, less than, or equal to the other number.

Successor

Compare two numbers up to 100 using the symbols >, <, and = to show that one number is greater than, less than, or equal to the other number. Order three or more one-digit numerals from greatest to least or least to greatest.
