What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students continue the counting sequence from different starting numbers and carry it through 120. They read numerals, write numerals they hear, and match a counted collection to its numeral.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student starts at 68 and counts accurately through 120, including each decade change. The student can write 107 when it is spoken and label a collection of 54 objects with the correct numeral.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may restart at 1 instead of continuing from the given number or skip numbers after 99. They may reverse two-digit numerals, write 107 as 1007, or lose one-to-one counting in a collection.
How to Assess It
- Ask the student to count from 94 to 112, write the numeral 107, and count a small collection before choosing its matching numeral card.
