Ten more, ten less fill-in for 1st grade: a mental chart for 24 to 89, quick lines like 10 more than 43, and explaining Leo's 62-to-72 rule. 1.NBT.5.

Adding within 100 homework for 1st grade: tens like 42 + 20, ones with a made-a-new-ten check on 47 + 5, and Leo's 38 + 7 toy cars. Built around 1.NBT.4.

Counting to 120 warm-up: number tracks from 43, 78, 107 and 115, neighbors of 99 and 119, and a torn 120-chart puzzle around 75. 1st grade 1.NBT.1.
1.NBT.2
“Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases: 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones - called a "ten." The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and O ones).”
1.NBT.3
“Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.”
1.NBT.5
“Given a two-digit number, mentally find 10 more or 10 less than the number, without having to count; explain the reasoning used.”
1.NBT.4
“Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.”
1.NBT.1
“Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.”
