Grade 1 - Number Patterns Unit
The Number Patterns Unit involves understanding the relationship between numbers and will enable students to answer questions such as:
- What patterns do you notice as you count beyond 20 (beyond 60, 100, etc.)? What happens when you count one more than 39 (59, 99, 109, 119 etc.)?
- When you count a group of objects by ones, how many do you get? Do you think you will still get the same number of objects when you group the objects by 2s, 5s, or 10s to count them? Try it to see.
- What happens when you run out of groups of 10 to count? How will you count the single objects that are left to find the total?
Math Concepts and Skills:
The student describes relationships in number patterns.
The student:
- uses verbal patterns to recite numbers forward and backward from any given number between 1 and 120.
- uses skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to find the total number of objects in a set up to 120.
- uses place value relationships to figure out the number that is 10 more and 10 less than a given number up to 120.
