What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students name a single person, place, animal, or thing and name more than one. They change the noun correctly when speaking, including common forms like “dogs” and “children.”
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student says “one book” and “three books” correctly in conversation. The student also uses familiar irregular forms, such as “children,” when speaking.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use the same noun for one and many, such as saying “two dog.” They may add an extra ending to irregular nouns, such as “childs” or “mouses.”
How to Assess It
- Show pictures of one cat, three cats, one child, and two children. Ask each student to describe each picture aloud using a complete sentence.
