  • Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way…

    CCSS.Math.Content.K.OA.A.3

    Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).

  • For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the…

    CCSS.Math.Content.K.OA.A.4

    For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
