Alignment to CORE and NGSS Standards
| Grade | Number | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.OA.A.1 | Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. |
| 1 | 1.OA.B.3 | Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.2 Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.) |
| 1 | 1.OA.B.4 | Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 _ 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8. |
| 1 | 1.OA.C.5 | Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). |
| 1 | 1.OA.D.8 | Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ _ 3, 6 + 6 = _. |
| 1 | NGSS: 1-LS1.A: | All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air. Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow. (1-LS1-1) |
| 1 | NGSS: 1-LS1.B | Adult plants and animals can have young. In many kinds of animals, parents and the offspring themselves engage in behaviors that help the offspring to survive. (1-LS1-2) |
| 1 | NGSS: 1-LS1.D: | Animals have body parts that capture and convey different kinds of information needed for growth and survival. Animals respond to these inputs with behaviors that help them survive. Plants also respond to some external inputs. (senses) (1-LS1-1) |
