In this lesson, one of a seven-part unit from Illuminations titled “Let's Count to 20,” students construct sets of numbers up to 10, write numerals up to 10, and count up to 10 rationally. They use ten frames and also make bean sticks.

North Carolina Curriculum Alignment

Mathematics (2004)

Grade 1

  • Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, and model whole numbers through 99 and compute with whole numbers.
    • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 99.
      • Connect the model, number word, and number using a variety of representations.
      • Use efficient strategies to count the number of objects in a set.
      • Read and write numbers.
      • Compare and order sets and numbers.
      • Build understanding of place value (ones, tens).
      • Estimate quantities fewer than or equal to 100.
      • Recognize equivalence in sets and numbers 1-99.

Grade 2

  • Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, model, and compute with whole numbers through 999.
    • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 999.
      • Connect model, number word, and number using a variety of representations.
      • Read and write numbers.
      • Compare and order.
      • Rename.
      • Estimate.
      • Use a variety of models to build understanding of place value (ones, tens, hundreds).

Kindergarten

  • Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will recognize, model, and write whole numbers through 30.
    • Objective 1.01: Develop number sense for whole numbers through 30.
      • Connect model, number word (orally), and number, using a variety of representations.
      • Count objects in a set.
      • Read and write numerals.
      • Compare and order sets and numbers.
      • Use ordinals (1st-10th).
      • Estimate quantities fewer than or equal to 10.
      • Recognize equivalence in sets and numbers 1-10.
    • Objective 1.03: Solve problems and share solutions to problems in small groups.
