Approximately 15 days. Students build a strong understanding of whole numbers from 0 to 100 using concrete materials, drawings, ten frames, number lines, and symbolic notation. They count forward and backward, represent numbers in different ways, identify one more/one less and ten more/ten less, compare quantities using greater than, less than, and equal language, and order numbers. Learning emphasizes place value as groups of tens and ones and connects numbers to familiar Calgary contexts such as bus routes, classroom collections, temperatures, and sports scores. Students explain their thinking using mathematical vocabulary and representations.

Recommended Tasks
  • Create a personal number book from 0 to 100, showing selected numbers with numerals, number words, ten frames, base-ten materials, drawings, and expanded representations.
  • Complete a number-line investigation in which students locate, compare, and order mystery numbers, then justify which numbers are greater, less, or equal.
  • Conduct a classroom counting collection: estimate, count, group, and record up to 100 objects, then describe the number using tens and ones.
