Unit 4: Place Value
Purpose/Focus: This unit calls for students to read, write, and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. Remember than when reading and writing whole numbers, the word “and” should not be used. 235 would be written as “two hundred thirty-five”. Students are introduced to symbols greater than >, less than <, and equal to = in First Grade and use them in Second Grade with numbers within 1,000.
2.NBT. 3 & 4 – Compare numbers based on meaning of tens and ones.
2.OA.2- Gain fluency with subtraction facts through 20 (Math Facts in a Flash Practice)
