Units
Adding, subtracting and word problems
2 lessons- One-step and two-step word problems within 100Solve one-step and two-step adding and taking-away stories up to 100, draw a tape, and write a number sentence with ? for the missing number.
- Fluency within 20Add and take away within 20 quickly by making a ten, using doubles and thinking of adding, and know by heart what any two numbers up to 9 add to.
Equal groups
2 lessons- Odd and even numbersTell if a group of up to 20 things is odd or even by making pairs, and write an even number as the same number added twice.
- Arrays and repeated additionFind how many are in rows of up to 5 rows and 5 columns by adding the rows, and write the adding number sentence.
Place value to 1,000
4 lessons- Hundreds, tens and onesSee that a number with three digits has hundreds, tens and ones, and that 100 is a bundle of ten tens.
- Counting by 5s, 10s and 100sCount up to 1,000, skip-count by 5s, 10s and 100s, and say which digit changes.
- Reading and writing numbers to 1,000Read and write numbers up to 1,000 in digits, in words and in expanded form, including numbers with a zero.
- Comparing three-digit numbersCompare two numbers with three digits by looking at the digits, and write the answer with >, = or <.
Adding and subtracting big numbers
5 lessons- Adding and subtracting within 100Add and take away up to 100 using tens and ones, and check a take-away by adding.
- Adding four two-digit numbersAdd up to four two-digit numbers: add all the tens, add all the ones, and put them together, even when the ones make new tens.
- Adding and subtracting within 1,000Add and take away up to 1,000 with blocks, drawings and writing, trading tens and hundreds when needed.
- Mental addition and subtraction of 10 or 100Add or take away 10 or 100 in your head for numbers from 100 to 900, and say which digit changes.
- Explaining why strategies workTell why our ways work: adding tens and ones, trading ten ones for a ten, adding in any order, and checking by adding.
Measuring length
6 lessons- Measuring with rulers and tapePick a ruler, yardstick, meter stick or measuring tape, and measure how long something is by lining it up at zero.
- Measuring twice with different unitsMeasure one thing in inches and in centimeters, and tell why a bigger unit gives a smaller number.
- Estimating lengthsMake good guesses of length in inches, feet, centimeters and meters using sizes you know, pick a unit that fits, and check by measuring.
- Comparing lengthsMeasure two things and say how much longer one is than the other, with a unit.
- Length word problemsSolve story problems about lengths up to 100 in the same unit by drawing a tape and writing a number sentence with ? for the missing number.
- Number linesShow numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line, and show adding and taking away up to 100 as jumps.
Time, money and data
4 lessons- Telling time to five minutesTell and write the time to five minutes on clocks with hands and on number clocks, and use a.m. and p.m.
- Counting moneyCount dollars and mixed coins, use the $ and ¢ signs, and solve money story problems.
- Line plotsMeasure several things to the nearest inch, show the lengths on a line plot, and read the plot to answer questions.
- Picture graphs and bar graphsDraw a picture graph and a bar graph where each picture or step is one vote, and use them to put together, take apart and compare.
Shapes and equal parts
3 lessons- Recognizing and drawing shapesKnow and draw shapes by how many sides and corners they have, and name triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes.
- Partitioning rectangles into squaresCut a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count the squares to find the total.
- Halves, thirds and fourthsSplit circles and rectangles into two, three or four equal shares, call them halves, thirds and fourths, and see that equal shares can have different shapes.
