K.OA.A.2.4. Solves problems using a variety of counting strategies (counting all, counting on, skip counting) progressing to more sophisticated mental math strategies and using known addend combinations.

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

K.OA.A.3.1. Knowledge that decomposition involves separating a number into two parts and understanding that there is a relationship between the sum of the parts and the whole.

K.OA.A.3.2. Knowledge that there are a variety of combinations that represent a given number.

K.OA.A.3.3. Ability to begin with the whole when decomposing numbers into pairs.

K.OA.A.3.4. Knowledge that when writing an equation to represent the decomposition of a number, the values on each side of the equal sign are the same (e.g., 7 = 2+5).

K.OA.A.4. Major Standard: 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.

K.OA.A.4.1. Ability to use experience with K.OA.A.3 to make sense of this Standard.

K.OA.A.4.2. Use ten frames to find how many more is needed to make 10.

K.OA.A.4.3. Knows the combinations to make 10.

K.OA.A.5. Major Standard: Fluently add and subtract within 5.

K.OA.A.5.1. Ability to apply decomposition knowledge and relationship between addition and subtraction to determine the sum or differences of various problems.

K.OA.A.5.2. Knows the composition and decomposition to make 5 fluently.

MD.MA.K.NBT. Number and Operations in Base Ten (NBT)

K.NBT.A. Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value.

K.NBT.A.1. Major Standard: Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10+8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
