Mathematics | Counting, writing numbers, and addition within ten
Direct teaching: A number tells how many objects are in a group. Count each item once. To add 3 and 2, draw 3 dots and 2 dots, then count all 5. A ten-frame holds ten boxes in two rows of five.

- Fill in: 3, 4, __, 6, __.
- Circle the greater number: 7 or 5.
- Draw 3 dots and 2 dots. How many in all?
- Use counters to show 6 take away 2. How many remain?
- Show 8 as five and three using a drawing.
Check your work: explain at least one answer using a drawing, calculation, exact passage, or evidence. If a task is too easy, try unfamiliar higher-level work rather than repeating memorized facts.
English Language Arts | Beginning sounds, blending, and retelling
