Math Curriculum O We will focus on four areas this year… 9

O Develop an understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20 Develop an understanding of whole number relationships and place value (grouping into tens and ones) O Solve for a missing part or missing whole 4+? =9 7+3=? O Come up with a word problem with 3 addends and solve. O There were 4 red balloons, 7 green balloons, and 5 yellow balloons. How many in all? O 4+5+7 =? 4+5=9, 9+7=16 ? =16 1 0

O Develop an understanding of whole number relationships and place value (grouping into tens and ones) O 62 frogs sat on a log. A few more came by and sat on the log. Now there are 82. How many more frogs came? Write an equation using a symbol for the unknown number. O 62 + ? = 82 + = ? = 20. . . not 82 1 1

O Develop an understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths by repeating length units O How? Common units, laid end to end. O Measure the lengths of the door, a desk, and a book. Explain how you know which one is longer. door = 46, book = 16, desk = 32 O Order from longest to shortest: door, desk, book O The door is the longest…the book is shorter than the door, etc. O Identify coins 1 2

O Reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes. O Name the attributes: O 3 -D, 6 flat sides, 8 vertices O A cereal box is a real-world example O *** NCDPI Wiki- last listed useful site*** https: //sites. google. com/dpi. nc. gov/k-12 mathematics/home 1 3
