  • Subtraction within 20. Kids subtract numbers up to 20 using counting back, drawing, or known facts. They understand subtraction as taking apart.
  • Place Value. Kids work with tens and ones, compare two-digit numbers, and add or subtract multiples of ten.
  • Measurement and Data. Kids order objects by length, measure with nonstandard units, and read simple bar graphs.
  • Geometry. Kids name and describe common shapes like squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles. They build and draw shapes.
  • Telling Time. Kids tell time to the hour and half hour on analog clocks.
  • Counting and Number Sense. Kids count to 120, starting at any number, and read and write numerals. They compare numbers.
