attributes: a characteristic or distinctive feature—

such as shapes, size, color—of an object or given set

of objects.

expression: a mathematical phrase that

represents a number through the combination of

operation symbols, numbers and/or symbols.

Examples: 2 + 3 ; 5 - 4

close to doubles: number combinations such as

3 + 4, 6 + 7, etc. that are 1 apart.

compose or decompose numbers: flexibly

using or knowing numbers through creating and

breaking numbers apart to form equivalent

representations. For example knowing that in 4 there

is a "3" and a "1" allows a student to think about 7 + 4

as being 7 + 3 + 1.

develop fluency: developing fluency means the

process of memorizing some combinations or -

having command of some combinations - not having

to count, use manipulatives or draw pictures to find

the sum or difference; fluency means that students

are able to compute efficiently and accurately with

single digit numbers.

model: to represent a mathematical situation with

manipulatives (objects), pictures, numbers or

symbols.

repeating patterns: patterns that are cyclical in

nature, with each cycle repeating elements in the

same order.

Example: ABCABCABC.

By the end of grade one, students understand and use the concept of ones and

tens in the place value number system. Students add and subtract small numbers

with ease. They measure with simple units and locate objects in space. They

describe data and analyze and solve simple problems.

Number Sense

1.0 Students understand and use numbers up to 100:

1.1 Count, read, and write whole numbers to 100.

1.2 Compare and order whole numbers to 100 by using the symbols for less than, equal

to, or greater than (<, =, >).

1.3 Represent equivalent forms of the same number through the use of physical models,

diagrams, and number expressions (to 20) (e.g., 8 may be represented as 4 + 4,

5 + 3, 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, 10 - 2, 11 - 3).

1.4 Count and group object in ones and tens (e.g., three groups of 10 and 4 equals 34,

or 30 + 4).

1.5 Identify and know the value of coins and show different combinations of coins that

equal the same value.

2.0 Students demonstrate the meaning of addition and subtraction and use these

operations to solve problems:

2.1 Know the addition facts (sums to 20) and the corresponding subtraction facts and

commit them to memory.

2.2 Use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction to solve problems.

2.3 Identify one more than, one less than, 10 more than, and 10 less than a given

number.

2.4 Count by 2s, 5s, and 10s to 100.

2.5 Show the meaning of addition (putting together, increasing) and subtraction

(taking away, comparing, finding the difference).

4

2.6 Solve addition and subtraction problems with one- and two-digit numbers

(e.g., 5 + 58 = __).

2.7 Find the sum of three one-digit numbers.

3.0 Students use estimation strategies in computation and problem solving that

involve numbers that use the ones, tens, and hundreds places:

3.1 Make reasonable estimates when comparing larger or smaller numbers.

Algebra and Functions

1.0 Students use number sentences with operational symbols and expressions to

solve problems:

1.1 Write and solve number sentences from problem situations that express relationships

involving addition and subtraction.

1.2 Understand the meaning of the symbols +, -, =.

1.3 Create problem situations that might lead to given number sentences involving

addition and subtraction.

Measurement and Geometry

1.0 Students use direct comparison and nonstandard units to describe the measurements

of objects:

1.1 Compare the length, weight, and volume of two or more objects by using direct

comparison or a nonstandard unit.

1.2 Tell time to the nearest half hour and relate time to events (e.g., before/after,

shorter/longer).

2.0 Students identify common geometric figures, classify them by common

attributes, and describe their relative position or their location in space:

2.1 Identify, describe, and compare triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles, including

the faces of three-dimensional objects.

2.2 Classify familiar plane and solid objects by common attributes, such as color,

position, shape, size, roundness, or number of corners, and explain which attributes

are being used for classification.

2.3 Give and follow directions about location.

2.4 Arrange and describe objects in space by proximity, position, and direction

(e.g., near, far, below, above, up, down, behind, in front of, next to, left or right of).

Statistics, Data Analysis, and Probability

1.0 Students organize, represent, and compare data by category on simple graphs

and charts:

1.1 Sort objects and data by common attributes and describe the categories.

1.2 Represent and compare data (e.g., largest, smallest, most often, least often) by using

pictures, bar graphs, tally charts, and picture graphs.

2.0 Students sort objects and create and describe patterns by numbers, shapes,

sizes, rhythms, or colors:

2.1 Describe, extend, and explain ways to get to a next element in simple repeating

patterns (e.g., rhythmic, numeric, color, and shape).

Mathematical Reasoning

1.0 Students make decisions about how to set up a problem:

1.1 Determine the approach, materials, and strategies to be used.

1.2 Use tools, such as manipulatives or sketches, to model problems.

2.0 Students solve problems and justify their reasoning:

2.1 Explain the reasoning used and justify the procedures selected.

2.2 Make precise calculations and check the validity of the results from the context

of the problem.

3.0 Students note connections between one problem and another.
