MA 0.1.1.d. Match numerals to the quantities they represent 0 - 20, using a variety of models and representations

MA 0.1.1.e. Demonstrate and identify multiple equivalent representations for numbers 1 - 10 (e.g., 10 is 1 and 9; 10 is 6 and 4)

MA 0.1.1.f. Demonstrate relative position of whole numbers 0 - 10 (e.g., 5 is between 2 and 10; 7 is greater than 3)

MA 0.1.2. Operations: Students will demonstrate the meaning of addition and subtraction with whole numbers.

MA 0.1.2.a. Use objects and words to explain the meaning of addition as a joining action (e.g., Two girls are sitting at a table. Two more girls join them. How many girls are sitting at the table?)

MA 0.1.2.b. Use objects and words to explain the meaning of addition as parts of a whole (e.g., Three boys and two girls are going to the zoo. How many children are going to the zoo?)

MA 0.1.2.c. Use objects and words to explain the meaning of subtraction as a separation action (e.g., Five girls are sitting at a table. Two girls leave. How many girls are left sitting at the table?)

MA 0.1.2.d. Use objects and words to explain the meaning of subtraction as finding part of a whole (e.g., Jacob has 5 pencils. Three are blue and the rest are red. How many red pencils does Jacob have?)
