Peg + Cat

Series

Peg + Cat

31 episodes

Peg has a problem, Cat comes along, and the math is what gets them out. A hundred chickens escape and have to be counted back in; buried treasure gets found by pacing out distances in Cat-lengths; a showdown at high noon stalls because nobody can read a clock. The 31 entries here cover counting to 100, comparing, symmetry, fractions, 2D versus 3D shapes, patterns, and time, usually inside a story with a song in it. Two are quieter, with the math dialed down: how Peg got Cat, and a Broadway musical for Ramone.

Common Core — Math 25

  • K.CC.A.1Count to 100 by ones and by tens.
  • K.CC.A.2Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).
  • K.CC.B.5Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, array, or circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration.
  • K.G.A.1Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
  • K.CC.C.6Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.
  • K.G.B.4Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts.

  • K.MD.A.1Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight; describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
  • K.MD.A.2Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute.
  • K.OA.A.1Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
  • 1.G.A.1Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
  • K.CC.C.7Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
  • K.G.A.3Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
  • 1.G.A.3Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters.
  • 1.MD.A.1Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
  • 1.MD.A.2Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object end to end.
  • 1.MD.B.3Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.
  • 1.NBT.A.1Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. Read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
  • 1.NBT.B.3Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results with the symbols >, =, and <.
  • 2.G.A.3Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares; describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc.
  • 2.NBT.A.2Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
  • 2.OA.C.3Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members.
  • 4.G.A.3Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure; identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
  • K.CC.B.4Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
  • K.G.A.2Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
  • K.MD.B.3Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
