Number Sense Path

Develop deep number sense through comparing, counting patterns, and fact families. This path builds flexible thinking about numbers by connecting counting, comparing, skip-counting, and inverse operations.

8 stepsBest for: Grades K-2
1
Step 1 · Kindergarten

Comparing Numbers to 20

Compare numbers up to 20 using greater than, less than, and equal to, building intuition about number magnitude.

2
Step 2 · Kindergarten

Skip Counting by 2, 5, and 10

Count forward by 2s, 5s, and 10s, recognizing patterns and building a foundation for multiplication.

3
Step 3 · Grade 1

Comparing Numbers to 100

Extend number comparison to 100, using place value reasoning to determine which numbers are greater or smaller.

4
Step 4 · Grade 1

Addition Fact Families

Explore the relationship between addition and subtraction through fact families, understanding inverse operations.

5
Step 5 · Grade 1

Skip Counting by 3 and 4

Extend skip counting to 3s and 4s, building fluency with number patterns that support multiplication readiness.

6
Step 6 · Grade 2

Comparing Numbers to 1,000

Compare three-digit numbers up to 1,000 using place value strategies and relational symbols.

7
Step 7 · Grade 2

Fact Families Review

Reinforce the addition-subtraction relationship with more challenging fact family problems using larger numbers.
