Virginia SOL K.PS.1
Virginia SOL K.PS.1 is part of the Probability and Statistics strand in Kindergarten Math (Math). Under this Standards of Learning objective, students apply the data cycle with a focus on object graphs and picture graphs. Below is what K.PS.1 covers in plain language, the specific skills it is assessed on, the key concepts to review, and how to practice K.PS.1 for the Virginia SOL test.
What SOL K.PS.1 means
Apply the data cycle with a focus on object graphs and picture graphs.
Skills you’ll practice for K.PS.1
- Sort and classify concrete objects into subsets based on one attribute (e.g., size, shape, color, thickness).
- Describe and label attributes of a sorted set of objects (e.g., size, color, shape).
- Pose questions requiring data collection limited to 25 or fewer data points for no more than four categories.
- Determine data needed to answer a posed question and collect data using methods like counting objects or drawing pictures.
- Organize and represent a data set as an object graph by sorting concrete objects into organized groups.
- Organize and represent a data set as a picture graph using pictures to form a simple graph.
- Analyze data in object graphs and picture graphs by asking and answering questions about the data.
- Draw conclusions and make predictions based on data in object graphs and picture graphs.
