THIS WEEK: Unit 3:

• Compare numbers (1 to 10) (greater than, less than, same or equal) .
• Count and represent teen numbers up to 20.
• Count in different arrangements.

In this unit, students will extend the work with numbers and quantities as they explore and count sets of objects up to 20. They will begin to explore sets up to 20 as they see the numbers as 10 and some more. They will use numerals 0 - 20 to represent the number of objects and be able to count out a given number of objects. Students will compare two sets of objects using the phrases “greater than,” “less than”, or “the same as.” When given a number 1-20, they will be able to say the number that is one more than or one less than the number. They will count forward to 100 by ones, and backward from 20. In order to see the sequence in counting by tens, students will count to 50 by tens. Students will identify pennies, nickels, and dimes and know their value. They will ask questions and answer them as they explore coins.
