Counting & place value 6 skills
Counting & number sense
- Greater than, less than Compare the biggest place first: the open side of the symbol faces the bigger number.
- Ordering numbers Compare the numbers place by place, then write them in the order asked.
- Skip counting to 1,000 Find the step first: does the row go up by 5, by 10, or by 100? Then keep that step for every blank.
Place value & rounding
- 10 or 100 more or less Ten more or less moves the tens digit. One hundred more or less moves the hundreds digit. The other digits stay put.
- Expanded form Expanded form stretches a number out to show what each digit is worth, like 358 = 300 + 50 + 8.
- Hundreds, tens & ones A 3-digit number is made of hundreds, tens, and ones. Count each kind, then write the digits in order.
Addition & subtraction 12 skills
Facts & fluency
- Addition mad minute Work fast and left to right. Skip a hard one and come back; the clock does not wait.
- Addition within 20 Make a ten first when you can. It turns hard facts like 9 + 6 into easy ones like 10 + 5.
- Balancing equations The equal sign means both sides are the same amount, so check that they balance.
- Fact families The three numbers in the roof are a family. Write all four facts they make together.
- Missing addends Find the number that makes the equation true. Count up from the part you already know.
- Subtraction within 20 Think addition to subtract: for 13 − 8, ask what you add to 8 to make 13.
Multi-digit addition & subtraction
- Addition with regrouping Add the ones first. When they make ten or more, write the ones digit and carry the ten to the next column.
- Mental math Turn hard numbers into friendly ones: to add 29, add 30 and then take 1 back.
- Subtraction with regrouping If the top digit is smaller, borrow: take one ten from the next column and add ten to the digit you are subtracting from.
- Three-digit addition & subtraction Check the sign first, then work one column at a time starting from the ones.
- Two-digit addition Add the ones first. If they make ten or more, carry a ten to the tens column.
- Two-digit subtraction with regrouping If the top ones digit is too small, trade one ten for ten ones before you subtract.
Multiplication & division 1 skills
- Multiplication facts 0–12 Multiplication is repeated addition. When you know your times tables, you can solve problems quickly without counting on your fingers.
Word problems 7 skills
- Addition & subtraction word problems Read the whole story before you pick a sign. Does it put amounts together, or take some away?
- Addition word problems Read the whole story, then find the question. If groups are coming together, add.
- Measurement word problems Look for the units in the story. Your answer needs a unit too, so write it every time.
- Money word problems Count the coins from the biggest value down. When the story asks for change, start at the cost and count up.
- Multiplication word problems Look for equal groups in the story. Same-size groups, counted in one move: that is multiplication.
- Subtraction word problems Read the story and find the question. If something goes away, or two amounts get compared, subtract.
- Two-step word problems Read each story. Show how you find the missing quantity.
Factors & patterns 1 skills
- Even & odd numbers Even numbers split into pairs with none left over. Check the ones digit: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mean even.
Fractions 1 skills
- Unit fractions & parts of a whole The bottom number counts the equal parts in the whole. The top number counts the shaded parts.
Shapes & angles 4 skills
- Identifying 3d shapes Solid shapes take up space. Name the whole solid, not just the flat face you can see.
- Partitioning shapes Equal shares means every piece is exactly the same size, a fair share for everyone.
- Sides & vertices Sides are the straight edges and vertices are the corners. Mark where you start so you count each one just once.
- Partitioning rectangles Finish each grid with equal squares. Then count the squares.
Measurement 7 skills
- Counting coins Count the coins that are worth the most first, then count on. A dime is small, but it is worth 10 cents.
- Making change Start at the cost and count up to the money paid. What you count along the way is the change.
- Measuring length Find where the bar starts and where it ends. The length is the distance between them.
- Telling time The short hand tells the hour and the long hand tells the minutes. Read the short hand first.
- Estimating length Choose a sensible estimate for each object. Pictures are not actual size.
- Length word problems Complete each problem. Write the answer with its unit when needed.
- Drawing clock hands Draw a short hour hand and a long minute hand for each time.
Data & graphing 3 skills
- Bar & line plots Read the scale, not the picture: the height of a bar or the count of Xs tells you the number.
- Pictographs Read the key first. Count the symbols, then multiply by what each one stands for.
- Tally charts Count tally bundles by fives. The stroke that crosses the group is the fifth mark, not an extra one.
