K.CC.1. Count to 100 by ones and by tens.||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Counting And Cardinality||Know Number Names And The Count Sequence|||K.CC.2. Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Counting And Cardinality||Know Number Names And The Count Sequence|||K.CC.4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Counting And Cardinality||Count To Tell The Number Of Objects|||K.CC.5. Count to answer “”how many?”” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1?20, count out that many objects.||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Counting And Cardinality||Count To Tell The Number Of Objects|||K.CC.6. Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.1||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Counting And Cardinality||Compare Numbers|||K.MD.3. Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.3||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Measurement And Data||Classify Objects And Count The Number Of Objects In Each Category|||K.OA.1. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Understand Addition As Putting Together And Adding To, And Under- Stand Subtraction As Taking Apart And Taking From|||K.OA.2. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Understand Addition As Putting Together And Adding To, And Under- Stand Subtraction As Taking Apart And Taking From|||K.OA.5. Fluently add and subtract within 5.||Common Core Mathematics||Kindergarten||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Understand Addition As Putting Together And Adding To, And Under- Stand Subtraction As Taking Apart And Taking From|||1.MD.4. Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.||Common Core Mathematics||Grade 1||Measurement And Data||Represent And Interpret Data|||1.OA.5. Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).||Common Core Mathematics||Grade 1||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Add And Subtract Within 20|||1.OA.6. Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 ? 4 = 13 ? 3 ? 1 = 10 ? 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 ? 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).||Common Core Mathematics||Grade 1||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Add And Subtract Within 20
1.1 Compare two or more sets objects (up to ten objects in each group), and identify which set is equal to, more than, or less than the other.||CA Mathematics||Grade Kindergarten||01. Number Sense||1.0 Students understand the relationship between numbers and quantities (i.e., that a set of objects has the same number of objects in different situations, regardless of its position or arrangement).|||1.2 Compare and order whole numbers to 100 by using the symbols for less than, equal to, or greater than (<, =, >).||CA Mathematics||Grade 1||01. Number Sense||1.0 Students understand and use numbers up to 100.|||2.1 Know the addition facts (sums to 20) and the corresponding subtraction facts and commit them to memory.||CA Mathematics||Grade 1||01. Number Sense||2.0 Students demonstrate the meaning of addition and subtraction and use these operations to solve problems.
