Teacher Tips:

• It is not necessary for students to write expressions to show mastery at this point.

• Throughout the year, students’ thinking should move from concrete (using manipulatives) to pictorial (drawing pictures) to abstract (written equations).

• Use the Fluency tab on  this Site for additional support.

Students will continue their work with numbers to ten. They continue to count by ones, both chorally and independently. They answer “how many?” questions using different arrangements of objects. They focus now on using "greater than" and "less than" to compare the number of objects in two sets. They also practice writing numbers to ten throughout the unit.

Students expand their work in addition and subtraction to include sums and differences to 10. They use objects and drawings to represent situations of adding to and taking from. They begin this work by exploring the idea of making ten using numbers 0-9. Students start working with addition and subtraction equations, and word problems, using objects and drawings. Students develop fluency in addition and subtraction within fiv and expressing five as a sum in multiple ways.

Essential Learning Outcomes (ELO)

∎Students will work to make the connection between the (verbal) number names and quantities. (K.CC.A.1, 2 & 3, MP2, MP6, MP8)

∎Students will attend to precision in both their explanations and particular strategies they use to count. (K.CC.B.4 & 5, MP2, MP6)

∎Students will connect concrete representation of numbers to the written numerals. (K.CC.C.6 & 7), MP2)

∎Students will understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from by modeling with manipulatives. (K.OA.A 1,2 , 3, 4, &5, MP4, MP5) 

Learning targets

• I can count to 50 by ones starting at 1. (K.CC.A.1)

• I can count forward beginning with another number other than 1. (K.CC.A.2)

• I can write numbers 0 to 10 (K.CC.A.3)

• I can match each object with a number when counting. (K.CC.B.4a)

• I can tell how many objects are in a group. (K.CC.B.4b)

• I can tell the number that is one more. (K.CC.B.4c)

• I can count up to 20 objects that are arranged differently. (K.CC.B.5)

• I can count objects to match numbers from 1 to 20. (K.CC.B.5)

• I can tell if a group of objects is greater than, less than or equal to another group. (K.CC.C.6)

• I can tell if a numeral is greater than, less than, or equal to another number. (K.CC.C.7)

• I can identify the symbols for plus, minus and equal.(K.OA.A.1)

• I can show that adding is putting groups together and that subtraction is taking apart or taking away. (K.OA.A.1)

• I can use objects, fingers and pictures to help me show addition and subtraction. (K.OA.A.1)

• I can understand the concept of putting together means to add and taking apart means to subtract. (K.OA.A.2)

• I can solve addition and subtraction word problems. (K.OA.A.2)

Addition & Subtraction Strategies within 10

Choose which strategy students need to practice.  You may find that they need many, so start with one for a week or so, then move onto another.  You are looking for efficient strategies, not mastery of all strategies.  Students may find they prefer one strategy over another or change strategies for different problems.  The goal is that they are flexibly using efficient strategies and are able to reason about numbers to fluently compute.
