1.NBT.1 Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.

1.MD.1 Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object. 1.MD.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a  shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. 1.MD.3 Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.

1.MD.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
