Putting together and taking apart amounts in all unknown positions of an equation supports K.OA.2; 1.OA.8; 2.OA.1 skills. There are 3 items on each page.
Recognizing examples of certain spatial positions supports a K.G.1 skill. Share with the learners there are always two position choices on each page and the target position is circled at the top. Discuss the symbols for each position. An extension for this concept can be student generated searches for items in the classroom that are ‘next to, on, or under.’
Skip counting by a given amount supports 2.NBT.2 skills. Share with the learners that sometimes the skip counting goes in different directions and sometimes additional amounts are placed within the sequences.
Subtracting from or removing items from a larger group to arrive at a target amount, helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.NBT.1; 1.OA.1. This is a way for learners to use individual strategies to count back or count up to get a unique result. Multiple versions of which items are chosen and left should be expected.
Finding the addends and sum in each 10-Frame helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.OA.2; K.NBT.1; 1.NBT.1 This is a way for learners to use addition combinations, and because the most the sum can be is 10, they may recognize they can ‘check’ their results with subtraction. There are 2 items on each page.
Counting items by Tally marks and charting that count helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.CC.5, 6; 1.NBT.1. This strategy is one more tool for learners to find, record, and compare: “How Many? and “How Many More?” SOme pages have 4 items per page.
Counting with a choice of odd or even numerals helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.CC.4, 5; [1.NBT.1; 2.OA.3] This strategy supports learners in recognizing what makes an amount odd or even by visually pairing or subitizing an amount. This is separated into two sections.
Determining unique or special attributes across categories such as shape, color, and amount supports K-level skills. Share that each picture might have one feature the other three do not have, but this task is to find the most noticeable one. There are two 'warm-up' demonstration items included. It is organized into 3 sections
Skip counting by a given amount supports 2.NBT.2 skills. Share with the learners that sometimes the skip counting goes in different directions and sometimes additional amounts are placed within the sequences. This resource is in two sections.
Creating equal parts of a 2-D regular shape supports 1.G.3 skills. Share that the learners may partition the shapes in thirds a few different ways, and they may make their own choices. Making equal parts on non-standard images reinforces early understanding of numerical fractions and the need for the results actually to be equal in size.
Creating equal parts of a 2-D regular shape supports 1.G.3 skills. Share that the learners may partition the shapes in fourths a few different ways, and they may make their own choices. Making equal parts on non-standard images reinforces early understanding of numerical fractions and the need for the results actually to be equal in size.
Creating equal parts of a 2-D regular shape supports 1.G.3 skills. Share that the learners may partition the shapes in half a few different ways, and they may make their own choices. Making equal parts on non-standard images reinforces early understanding of numerical fractions and the need for the results to be equal in size.
Counting items and writing the numeral for that amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.CC.3; K.CC.5. This strategy is one option for learners to recognize amounts in arrays, subitize, or use a count all strategy.
Determining the amounts and recording them supports * PK-MD.2; K.CC.3; 1.MD.4 skills. Support learners with writing tools and counters to help them keep track. Understand that learners may see the images to have more or fewer items which could be a ‘math talk’ topic.
Determining attribute changes in a category such as shape, color, and amount supports K-level skills. The changes in this series may reflect a single category or may have changes in more than one category. There is a 'warm-up' demonstration item included. It is organized in sections by items.

Reach a wide range of learners with an 'open-middle' math talk that includes their unique observations of similarities, differences, patterns, and grouping. This set of 28 photos featuring SPRING is one of 8 sets that features: Fruits, Vegetables, Leaves, Flowers, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
Comparing amounts and interpreting data in up to four categories supports K.CC.6; 1.MD.4 skills. Counting for this activity is important, rather than only visually choosing a row. This is separated into 3 sections.
Comparing amounts and interpreting data in up to three categories supports K.CC.6; 1.MD.4 skills. Counting for this activity is important, rather than only visually choosing a row. This is separated into three groupings
