Unit 2: Developing Base 10 Number Sense
In this unit, students will:
• rote count forward to 120 by counting on from any number less
than 120.
• represent a quantity using numerals.
• locate 0-100 on a number line.
• use the strategies of counting on and counting back to
understand number relationships.
• explore with the 99 chart to see patterns between numbers,
such as, all of the numbers in a column on the hundreds chart have
the same digit in the ones place, and all of the numbers in a row
have the same digit in the tens place.
• read, write and represent a number of objects with a written
numeral (number form or standard form).
• build an understanding of how the numbers in the counting
sequence are related—each number is one more, ten more (or one
less, ten less) than the number before (or after).

interpreting data using charts and tables.
• pose questions with 3 possible responses and then work with the
