When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.

Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.

Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawingsDrawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
