Operations & Algebraic Thinking

Represent and Solve Problems

Represent and solve problems involving the four operations: Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction; add and subtract within 20; work with addition and subtraction equations; work with equal groups of objects to gain foundations for multiplication; understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division; multiply and divide within 100; write and interpret numerical expressions.

Analyze Patterns and Relationships

Analyze patterns and relationships: Identify and explain patterns in arithmetic; gain familiarity with factors and multiples; identify arithmetic patterns and explain them using properties of operations; generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule; generate two numerical patterns using two given rules, form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

Understand Place Value, Counting, and Cardinality

Understand the place value system and counting and cardinality: Know number names and the count sequence; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s; generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers; read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form; compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place; read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths; use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers and decimals to any place.
