Elfie Learns to Measure: 1.M. MD.2.-Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end;
understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to
contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.

Stocking Subtraction Match: 1.M.OA.6.-Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10.

Fill Up Santa’s Bag: 1.M.OA.1-Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Santa’s on Top of the Roof: 1. M.NBT.3-Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.

Fa-la-lah Fact Famlies: 1.M.OA.3- Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.3 Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)

Missing Link in Rudolph’s Crew: 1.M.OA.8- Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = ? – 3, 6 + 6 = ?.

Adding up those Sweets: 1.M.OA.2.-Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
