Number patterns for 1st grade: hop by 2s along 2 to 14, walk caterpillar paths by 1s from 20, then name the rule behind 5, 10, 15. Built on 1.OA.5.
Further 1.OA work: determining the unknown whole number in addition and subtraction equations to build equation sense.

Number patterns for 1st grade: hop by 2s along 2 to 14, walk caterpillar paths by 1s from 20, then name the rule behind 5, 10, 15. Built on 1.OA.5.

Exit slip on unknown numbers for 1st grade: blanks like 7 + ? = 15, Maya's 8-to-14 sticker story, and solving 12 - 5 through 5 + ? = 12. 1.OA.1, 1.OA.4, 1.OA.8.

True or false equation sort for 1st grade: judge cards like 7 = 8 - 1 and 5 + 2 = 2 + 5 on a sorting mat, then fix 4 + 1 = 5 + ?. Equal-sign work for 1.OA.7.

Mystery number equations for 1st grade: addition blanks from 6 + ? = 10, subtraction blanks like 12 - ? = 8, and a 7-to-13 seashell story. 1.OA.1, 1.OA.8.

Balancing equations homework for 1st grade: true or false rows like 8 = 10 - 3, blanks such as 4 + 4 = 3 + ?, and a tilted 6 = 2 + ? scale. 1.OA.7, 1.OA.8.

Counting on and counting back for 1st grade: a 0-20 number path, scaffolded hops for 8 + 3 and 15 - 3, then write-your-own sequences. 1.OA.5 with 1.OA.6.
1.OA.5
“Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).”
1.OA.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.OA.4
“Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem.”
1.OA.8
“Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers.”
1.OA.7
“Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false.”
1.OA.6
“Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8+ 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13- 3 - 1 = 10 − 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).”
