MATH focus standard (NEW)
CCSS 1.OA.6 Add and subtract within 20,
demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction
within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making
ten (e.g., 8+6=8+2+4=10+4=14); decomposing a number
leading to a ten (e.g., 134=1331=101=9); using the
relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g.,
knowing that 8+4=12, one knows 128=4); and creating
equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6+7
by creating the known equivalent 6+6+1=12+1=13).

This week we continue to build fluency and mental math
strategies by recognizing patterns in known facts such as
+/- 0, +/- 1, and doubles facts. You can rehearse the
Doubles Rap with your child by going to the Resources
tab on our class website.
