Display the class number line (0–130) where students can see and reach it with a pointer.
Attach a desk number line (0–40) to each student's desk to use throughout the year.
Display the Math Practices page where all students can see it.
Attach copies of the Desk-Size 100 Chart
to students' desks or folders to use throughout the year
in class and at home. See the Lesson 7 Materials Preparation.
Copy the Ten Frames and Number Line Master and the 100 Chart Master back-to-back for easy
access to these tools during class and at home. See the Lesson 3 Materials Preparation.
Display the Comparison Symbol Chart from Unit 8 Lesson 5.

12-inch ruler
connecting links
collection of coins
pattern blocks
100 Chart (Student Activity Book) Reference - You will also need:
pennies, nickels, and dimes
chain of connecting links organized in a repeating pattern
| LESSON | SESSIONS | DESCRIPTION | SUPPLIES |
|---|---|---|---|
LESSON 1Weather 2: Winter Skies |
1 | This lab is an extension of Weather 1: Eye on the Sky. Students observe and record daily weather conditions for a winter month and continue to learn how to measure the passage of time using a calendar. |
|
LESSON 2Addition Facts I Know |
1–2 | Students practice the Addition Flash Cards for Groups A and B. They identify patterns relating to strategies for addition on an Addition Facts I Know chart. |
|
LESSON 3Repeating Patterns |
1–2 | This lesson reintroduces repeating patterns and consists of three parts. First, students line up in various "kid patterns" that are analyzed and identified by the rest of the class. Second, students identify patterns made with different colors of connecting links and extend the patterns. Third, students record link patterns, representing the patterns using colors and letters as shorthand. |
|
LESSON 4Describe Repeated Patterns |
2 | Students practice representing and extending patterns. After working in a whole-class setting, students work in groups to translate patterns to alphabet shorthand (AB symbols). Students then compare patterns having the same pattern unit when represented by alphabet shorthand. |
|
LESSON 5Growing Patterns |
1–2 | Students identify, describe, and extend growing patterns represented with number lines and connecting cubes. |
|
LESSON 6Name Patterns |
1 | This lesson introduces two-dimensional patterns on a 10 × 10 grid. Students explore repeating patterns on the grid by writing their first names. They describe and compare their patterns and analyze relationships within and among the name-grid patterns. These explorations will prepare students for the study of patterns on the 100 Chart in the next lesson. |
|
LESSON 7Patterns on the 100 Chart |
2–3 | Students review sorting and counting by tens. They work from ten frames and trains of 10 cubes to construct a 50 Chart. The goal is to show the relationship between groupings of tens and ones and the sequence of two-digit numbers on the 50 Chart. Students locate and record selected numbers on the chart, eventually filling it all in. Moving to the 100 Chart, students identify number patterns and discuss number relationships. |
|
LESSON 8Pattern Block Symmetry |
2 | Students explore the concept of line symmetry, a common aspect of many shapes. Students use pattern blocks to create a mirror image of a pattern block figure and play a game using pattern blocks to make symmetrical shapes. |
|
LESSON 9The Hour Hand |
1 | Students tell time to the nearest hour using a one-handed analog clock. |
