Students begin this unit by building a number line to model the number sequence from 0 to 10.
They continue to practice counting forward and backward between 0 and 50, starting with any number in the range.
They also solve addition and subtraction problems, compute with pennies and nickels, and begin measuring length using non-standard units.
The number line and measurement activities provide many opportunities for students to consider the relationships between numbers and quantities, including making comparisons about which are greater and which are less.
Below you will find resources to help your child with using a number line.

Ask your child to point to a number on the number line and ask questions with the following vocabulary words:
Example questions:
Point to 5. What is after/before it?
Point to 7 and 9. What number is between them?
Point to 6. What are all the numbers greater/less than it?
Point to 3. Count back 2. What does it equal?
Point to 3. Count on 2. What is the sum/total?
Point to 5. What numbers are next to it?
Point to 9. Subtract 3. What does it equal? What is the equation?
Point to 2. Add 5. What is the sum/total? What is the equation?
Kindergartners are encouraged to use objects, fingers, verbal explanations, drawings, and equations to solve addition and subtraction problems.
Below you will find resources to reinforce solving problems.

After practicing with the Tens Frame, Kindergartners are familiar with counting on from 5 and now transfer this to counting on with a nickle and pennies.
Below you will find resources to practice counting on at 5.

Numbers are presented in sets of ten and the difficulty can be adjusted by selecting a level before playing. Help collect all of the space rocks and become the hero this space city needs!
See and hear an addition problem, then click on the answer. Drag marbles onto a work surface to help with counting, as needed. Five levels of addition included, starting with simple 1 digit problems. Players must score 70% or greater to advance levels.
Measure monster feet using household objects such as blocks for crayons. Then, find a shoe that fits the monster.
