1st / Unit of Study15: Strengthening Critical Area:Place Value / Projected Time Allotment:8 days
Global Concept Guides: Recognizing the Counting Sequence,Whole Numbers Between 10-100 as Tens and Ones, Compare Numbers to 120
Prior Learning: “Developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones” has been listed as a critical learning area for Grade 1. These concepts have been weaved throughout multiple units throughout the year and were explicitly addressed during Units 6 and 7. Students in grade 1 are expected to show mastery on the critical area concepts by the end of the year.

Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content :
MAFS.1.NBT.1.1Count to 120 (99), starting at any number less than 120 (99). In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
MAFS.1.NBT.2.2Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
a. 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
b. The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
c. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
MAFS.1.NBT.2.3Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <. / Comments:
The Critical Areas are not in addition to the standards; rather, they help by grouping and summarizing the most critical skills at each grade level, those around which teachers should plan much of their instructional time throughout the year. The instruction of these areas should form a firm foundation on which to build concepts and procedures in later years.
Notes on Assessment:
See common performance task link below
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit:
Students develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to add within 100 and subtract multiples of10. They compare whole numbers (at least to 100) to develop understanding of and solve problems involving their relative sizes. They think of whole numbers between 10 and 100 in terms of tens and ones (especially recognizing the numbers 11 to 19 as composed of a ten and some ones). Through activities that build number sense, they understand the order of the counting numbers and their relative magnitudes.
Common Performance Task with Rubric for this Unit:
Students show their understanding through use of a hundreds chart, problem solving and comparison of numbers.

Future learning:
At Grade 2, students extend their base-ten understanding to hundreds by viewing 10 tens as forming a new unit called a “hundred”. This lays the groundwork for understanding the structure of the base-ten system. They will add and subtract within 1000, with composing and decomposing, and they understand and explain the reasoning of the processes they use. They become fluent with addition and subtraction within 100. (Progressions Document)

We give the students ample opportunities to determine ten more or ten less than any given number up to 100. (SMP 1 & 8)
Emphasize the use of correct vocabulary: Column, row, greater than, less than, unit, digit. (SMP 6)
Provide opportunities for students to find counting patterns when using tools such as the hundred chart, 120 chart, and number lines. (SMP 7)
