Number Relationships

In Kindergarten


In Kindergarten, students count a set of objects up to 20, instantly recognize numbers in a variety of arrangements, and read, write, and represent numbers up to 20 with and without objects.

Students also use comparative language to describe two numbers, two sets of objects, and generate a set using concrete and pictorial models to represent numbers that are more than, less than, or equal to a given number.

Students also compose and decompose numbers up to 10 with objects and pictures, count forward and backwards to at least 20 with and without objects, and recite numbers to at least 100 by ones and tens beginning with any given number.

In First Grade


Students in first grade will instantly recognize structured arrangements, skip count by twos, fives, and tens to 120, and determine 10 more and 10 less of a given number. Students will also compare numbers to 120 using place value, open number lines, comparative language, and use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers to 120 in more than one way. Students will compare numbers to 100 using symbols.
