Concepts
- explain or use examples of keywords:
o digit, place value, rounding, estimating, greater than, less than, equal, not equal, odd, even, zero, horizontal, vertical, operation, sum, difference, addition, subtraction, increase, decrease
- identify place value to 100
- recognize vertical and horizontal format for adding and subtracting
Operations and Applications
- read and write digits 0 to 9

- compare and order whole numbers to 100
- add whole numbers whose sum is 20 or less without carrying
- subtract whole numbers that are 20 or less, without borrowing/trading in
- round whole numbers to the nearest 10
- Patterns, Functions & Relations
Concepts
- use and apply patterns (shapes, letter and numbers)
- count by 2’s, 5’s, 10’s up to 100
