Standards Covered
- OGM.1.OA.4Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 1 / Kindergarten (Age 5) · KindergartenFor any number from 1 to 9, find the complement that makes 10 when added to the given number using ten-frames, counters, and mental strategies, recording the relation with drawings and equations.
- OGM.1.OA.5Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 1 / Kindergarten (Age 5) · KindergartenFluently add and subtract within 5; recall basic addition facts and related subtraction facts with addends to 10, using strategies including doubles, compensation, and making multiples of ten.
- OGM.1.OA.6Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 1 / Kindergarten (Age 5) · KindergartenExpress mathematical relationships and operations symbolically using +, -, and =; understand the zero property (n ± 0 = n), commutativity of addition (a + b = b + a), associativity, inverse relationships between addition and subtraction, and determine missing quantities represented by shapes or symbols (e.g., a + [ ] = c).
