K-4 Mathematics Resources for Parents/Guardians
Videos for "One more or one less"
This video covers Kindergarten standards NR.1.3 and NR.2.1. Students will need to be able to identify a given number that is between 1 and 20, and identify the numbers that are "one more" than the given number and "one less" than the given number. Students must also be able to count forward to 100 by tens (ex. "ten, twenty, thirty" etc.). Students must also be able to start counting at the number 20, and count backward from there to get to 1. There are a variety of manipulatives that students can use to achieve these skills, which are demonstrated in the video. The tasks that are provided under each manipulative tab will allow students to practice using each manipulative.
Standard code and description: K.NR.1.3 and K.NR.2.1; Given a number from 1-20, identify the number that is one more or one less; Count forward to 100 by tens and ones and backward from 20 by ones.
