Numbers to 100 represent quantities that can be decomposed into 10s and 1s.
- Number: Number represents and describes quantity.
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- How does understanding 5 or 10 help us think about other numbers?
- What is the relationship between 10s and 1s?
- What patterns do you notice in numbers?
- What stories live in numbers?
- How do numbers help us communicate and think about place?
- How do numbers help us communicate and think about ourselves?
Development of computational fluency in addition and subtraction with numbers to 100 requires an understanding of place value.
- Computational Fluency: Computational fluency develops from a strong sense of number.
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- What is the relationship between addition and subtraction?
- How can you use addition to help you subtract?
- How does understanding 10 help us to add and subtract two-digit numbers?
The regular change in increasing patterns can be identified and used to make generalizations.
- Patterning: We use patterns to represent identified regularities and to make generalizations.
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- How can we represent patterns in different ways/modes?
- How can you create repeating patterns with objects that are all one colour?
- What stories live in patterns?
Objects and shapes have attributes that can be described, measured, and compared.
- Geometry and Measurement: We can describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- What 2D shapes live in objects in our world?
- How can you combine shapes to make new shapes?
Concrete items can be represented, compared, and interpreted pictorially in graphs.
- Data and Probability: Analyzing data and chance enables us to compare and interpret.
- Sample questions to support inquiry with students:
- When you look at this graph, what do you notice? What do you wonder?
- How do graphs help us understand data?
- What are some different ways to represent data pictorially?

addition and subtraction to 100
- decomposing numbers to 100
- estimating sums and differences to 100
- using strategies such as looking for multiples of 10, friendly numbers (e.g., 48 + 37, 37 = 35 + 2, 48 + 2 = 50, 50 + 35 = 85), decomposing into 10s and 1s and recomposing (e.g., 48 + 37, 40 + 30 = 70, 8 +7 = 15, 70 +15 = 85), and compensating (e.g., 48 + 37, 48 +2 = 50, 37 – 2 = 35, 50 + 35 = 80)
- adding up to find the difference
- using an open number line, hundred chart, ten-frames
- using addition and subtraction in real-life contexts and problem-based situations
- whole-class number talks
repeating and increasing patterns
- exploring more complex repeating patterns (e.g., positional patterns, circular patterns)
- identifying the core of repeating patterns (e.g., the pattern of the pattern that repeats over and over)
- increasing patterns using manipulatives, sounds, actions, and numbers (0 to 100)
- Métis finger weaving
