Students will learn how to extend the count sequence and gain an understanding of place value in order to apply that understanding to addition and subtraction equations. Age-appropriate text and eye-catching visuals make these concepts easy to understand for beginning math students. Readers will use the concepts of tens and ones to determine which number in a set of pairs is greater than, lesser than, or equal to. This volume meets CCSS Math Standard 1. NBT.B.3.
