  2. Identify and distinguish among multiple uses of numbers, including cardinal (to tell how many) and ordinal (to tell which one in an ordered list), and numbers as labels and as measurements. (2.N.2)
  3. Identify and represent common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4) as parts of wholes, parts of groups, and numbers on the number line. (2.N.3)
  4. Compare whole numbers using terms and symbols, e.g., less than, equal to, greater than (<, =, >). (2.N.4)
  5. Identify odd and even numbers and determine whether a set of objects has an odd or even number of elements. (2.N.5)

  7. Demonstrate an understanding of various meanings of addition and subtraction, e.g., addition as combination (plus, combined with, more); subtraction as comparison (how much less, how much more), equalizing (how many more are needed to make these equal), and separation (how much remaining). (2.N.7)
  8. Understand and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., 8 + 6 = 14 is equivalent to     14 – 6 = 8 and is also equivalent to 14 – 8 = 6) to solve problems and check solutions. (2.N.8)
  9. Know addition facts (addends to ten) and related subtraction facts, and use them to solve problems. (2.N.9)
  1. Demonstrate the ability to add and subtract three-digit numbers accurately and efficiently. (2.N.10)
  2. Demonstrate in the classroom an under­standing of and the ability to use the conventional algorithms for addition (two 3-digit numbers and three 2-digit numbers) and subtraction (two 3-digit numbers. (2.N.11)
  3. Estimate, calculate, and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers. Describe differences between estimates and actual calculations. (2.N.12)
