Number sense
1.1: Count, read, and write whole numbers to 100 1.2: Compare and order whole numbers to 100 by using the symbols for less than, equal to, or greater than 2.4: Count by 2's , 5's and 10's to 100 2.5: Show the meaning of addition (putting together, increasing) and subtraction (taking away, comparing, finding the difference) Assessment/Reflections/Celebrations Suggested Assessments:
Define "pair" and discuss what comes in pairs. As students bring in new socks each day, they can keep track of how many are brought in each day.
Using the socks brought in by the students, students will count by 2's and/or 10's to make a group of 100. Each day as socks come in, students compare the total of one day to another using symbols (less than, greater than, or equal) Academic Focus: Math Academic Content Standards
Algebra and functions

For more suggestions see Performance Based Assessments, Reflections, and Celebrations pages.
Curricular Activity
Use the socks to draw or write number sentences that show the meaning of addition or subtraction.
