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. Communicate understanding of a subset by recognizing a subset as a set or group of objects within a larger set that share an attribute.

Distal Precursor

Recognize the set model that represents one-tenth. Recognize the set model that is divided into tenths.

Proximal Precursor

Represent a decimal to tenths (e.g., 5.6) as a fraction (i.e., 56/10).

Target

Compare two decimals to the tenths place using symbols (i.e., =, <, >) to show that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

Successor

Compare two decimals to the hundredths place using symbols (i.e., =, <, >) to show that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.
