MATH focus standards

CCSS: RI 1.9 Students will compare and

contrast the adventures and experiences
of characters in stories.

CCSS: Operations and Algebraic Thinking

1.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems
involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart,
and comparing, with unknowns in all positions.

1.OA.6

Compare:
A and B are the same because ______.
Contrast:
A and B are different because _______.
This weeks basal story is Frog and Toad Together.
The genre is animal fantasy.

Phonics:

Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition

and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten
(e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a
ten (e.g., 13 4 = 13 3 1 = 10 1 = 9); using the relationship between
addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 8 =
4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by
creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

Students will focus on solving addition and

subtraction word problems using multiple
strategies to double check their work.
