TEKS Math K.5

K.5 is a knowledge and skills statement. These are the student expectations under it.

• K.5.Arecite numbers up to at least 100 by ones and tens beginning with any given number

01

What Students Need to Do

Students continue a spoken number sequence from a number the teacher chooses. They count forward by ones or add ten each time without beginning again at 1.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can begin at an unfamiliar number and continue the sequence without restarting. The student counts by ones across decade changes and by tens while keeping the same ones digit.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may restart at 1 or 10 instead of using the given starting number. They may skip numbers at decade changes, such as going from 39 to 50. When counting by tens, they may change the ones digit instead of keeping it the same.

04

How to Assess It

Ask each student to count by ones from 46 to 55, then by tens from 7 to 97. Note any pauses, skipped numbers, or incorrect decade changes.

1. 01

   Students place a counter on a hundred chart and move one square or ten squares while saying each number.

2. 02

   Ask, “What stays the same and what changes when we count by tens from 6?” Students explain using 6, 16, and 26.

3. 03

   Play Start and Step: students draw a starting-number card and a ones-or-tens card, then count aloud toward 100.

4. 04

   Count classroom supplies by ones, then mark every tenth item on a tally sheet to connect counting with inventory.
