Overall Expectations
Grade 1
Temperature
Students will
• Estimate, measure, and describe length, area, mass, capacity, time, and temperature, using non-standard units of the same size
(1m28)
• Compare, describe, and order objects, using attributes measured in non-standard units (1m29)
• Collect and organize categorical primary data and display the data using concrete graphs and pictographs, without regard to the
order of labels on the horizontal axis (1m69)
• Read and describe primary data presented in concrete graphs and pictographs (1m70)
Specific Expectation
Students will:
• Relate temperature to experiences of the seasons (1m38)
• Compare two or three objects using measurable attributes, and describe the objects using relative terms (1m39)
• Collect and organize primary data that is categorical (i.e., that can be organized into categories based on qualities such as colour
or hobby), and display the data using one-to-one correspondence, prepared templates of concrete graphs and pictographs (with
titles and labels), and a variety of recording methods (1m73)
• Pose and answer questions about collected data (1m75)

Learning Focus
Relate experiences over the course of the
school year to descriptive categories of
temperature and to the seasons (e.g., we ski in
the winter because its cold enough for snow)
Determine general categories for describing air
temperature (e.g., freezing, cold, cool, warm,
hot)
Collect and organize, temperature data
according to general categories (e.g., # of cool
days, # of hot days) using a variety of recording
methods (e.g., tally chart or pictograph on
prepared template)
Read and describe temperature data
presented in pictographs (e.g., how many cold
days, more warmer days than cold days)

Learning Focus
Determine general categories for describing the
temperature of objects (e.g., freezing, cold, cool,
warm, hot, burning hot)
Describe examples that would fit each category
(e.g., burner on stove – burning hot, ice cube –
freezing cold)
Compare two or three objects using relative
terms related to the measurable attribute of
temperature (e.g., ice cube – freezing,
playdough – warm (room temperature))
