Notes
In this unit, students are introduced to the mathematical tools, processes, and ways of working that will be the foundation of math class this year. As part of this work, students are introduced to several yearlong classroom routines that offer regular practice with counting (NBT standards), developing visual images of quantities (NBT standards), collecting and analyzing data (MD standards), and working with time and sequence (MD standards).
1. OA.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrate fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. This standard is strongly connected to all the standards in this domain. It focuses on students being able to fluently add and subtract numbers to 10 and having experiences adding and subtracting within 20. Expectations for 1st grade are addition and subtraction within 10
1.MD.C.4 practice- 10 Minute Math sessions 1.3 and 4.7
Focus 2 – Reason with 2D Shapes and their Attributes: Foundations for Fractions
In this focus, students define and classify shapes based on attributes – e.g. orientation, size, and number of sides.
Students build and draw 2D shapes to possess defining attributes. Students compose and decompose figures to support their understanding of part-whole relationships.

Notes
Students need to explore various examples in different ways so that their experiences with shapes are not limited to single examples (e.g. if a student has only worked with equilateral triangles, it may be difficult for them to develop more general understandings of triangles).
Be sure that the Shapes software has been downloaded onto computers (contact your Ed. Tech for assistance)

Focus 3 – Addition and Subtraction within 20
In this focus, students extend their understanding from unit 1 to a larger number range. Students develop appropriate strategies to reason about and solve addition and subtraction problems. Students apply their understanding of the symbols while practicing their addition and subtraction strategies in different problem situations. Students relate their strategies for addition and subtraction to written methods and explain their reasoning.

Focus 4- Understanding the Relationship between Addition and Subtraction
In this focus, students are given opportunities to see subtraction as the opposite of addition in a different way than as reversing the action. Counting on strategies reinforce that subtraction can be viewed as an unknown addend problem, which emphasizes the relationship between subtraction and addition. Students will build an understanding of properties of operations through repeated experiences with addition and subtraction.

Focus 5-Represent and Interpret Data
In this focus, Students will design and carry out data investigations. Data provides an authentic context for students to develop appropriate strategies to reason about and solve addition and subtraction problems. Students are introduced to compare problem types. Data provides a context for students to make connections to addition and subtraction as they answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.

Focus 6- Connecting Measurement to Number
In this focus, students explore length comparisons both directly and indirectly. They will then extend this to indirect comparisons through the use of a third object. Students will measure with iterating length units (building up the length of an object with equal-sized units). Students use their concrete experience with length comparisons to support their understanding of number comparisons as well as compare problem types. Student’s partition shapes into equal shares. The focus is fair shares and equal area to support initial understandings of properties such as congruence and symmetry in area – not to discuss fractions. The terms “halves, fourths, and quarters” name the amount of area that is represented to describe the part – whole relationship. Fraction notation is first used in grade 3.
Students identify the different parts of a clock, making connections between these parts and the time in hours and half-hours. They will extend their understanding by telling and writing time.

Focus 7- Working toward Fluency for Addition and Subtraction within 20
In this focus, students continue to advance to more efficient strategies for addition and subtraction to 20. Students apply their conceptual understanding of addition, subtraction, and comparison to interpret and write expressions and equations. It is important for students to make sense of the symbols involved, as well as knowing when to use them.
Students use their understanding to reason about whether or not equations are true or false. Students apply their understanding of the symbols while practicing their addition and subtraction strategies in different problem situations.

Focus 8 – Exploring Patterns: Foundations for Algebra
In this focus, students briefly explore contexts and number sequences that involve a constant rate of increase.
Students develop a more abstract understanding of place value, viewing two-digit numbers as tens and ones. This understanding of place value supports counting on and making ten strategies that students use to become more efficient in addition and subtraction situations. Students practice making groups of 10 to efficiently represent (written numerical work) and count objects. Students apply the structure of teen numbers to reason about larger quantities and their relative magnitude. Students practice counting and writing two-digit numbers.
