    Ages 4 to 6Concept
  • Mathematics // Addition & Subtraction

    Addition as combining or putting together two

    Understand addition as combining or putting together two groups to find the total

    Ages 4 to 6Concept
  • Mathematics // Addition & Subtraction

    Numbers up to 10 into pairs

    Ages 6 to 7Concept
  • Mathematics // Addition & Subtraction

    Addition in any order

    Understand and apply the commutative property of addition: addends can be added in any order

    Ages 6 to 7Concept
  • Mathematics // Addition & Subtraction

    Finding a missing number in addition

    Understand subtraction as finding an unknown addend (e.g. 10 − 8 = ? is the same as 8 + ? = 10)

    Ages 6 to 7Concept
  • Mathematics // Addition & Subtraction

    Inverse: addition undoes subtraction

    Ages 6 to 7Concept
  • Mathematics // Counting & Cardinality

    One-to-one counting

    One-to-one correspondence when counting objects: each object is paired with exactly one number name

    Ages 4 to 6Concept
  • Mathematics // Counting & Cardinality

    How Many in Total?

    Cardinality principle: the last number said when counting a set tells how many objects are in the set, regardless of arrangement or order counted

    Ages 4 to 6Concept
  • Mathematics // Counting & Cardinality

    Comparing groups: more or fewer

    Compare two groups of objects to determine which has more, fewer, or whether they are equal, using matching and counting strategies

    Ages 4 to 6Concept
  • Mathematics // Counting & Cardinality

    One More Each Time

    Each successive counting number represents a quantity that is one larger than the previous number
