   7. Demonstrate an understanding of equivalence or balance of sets using objects, models, diagrams, numbers whole number relationships (operations) and the equals sign, e.g., 2 + 3 = 5 is the same as 5 = 2 + 3 and the same as 4 + 1 = 5.

   2. Represent whole numbers up to 1,000 by modeling and writing numbers in expanded forms, e.g., 37 = (3 x 10) + (7 x 1), and regrouped forms, e.g., (2 x 10) + (17 x 1) = 37, and use the forms to support computational strategies. (Counting Squares )
   3. Represent multiplication and division (with factors of 1, 2, 5 and 10 ) using a variety of models and strategies such as arrays, pictures, skip counting, extending number patterns, and repeated addition and subtraction; describe the connection between multiplication and division. (Beginner Multiplication , Understanding Multiplication , Understanding Division , Inverse Equations 2 )
   4. Use a variety of models and familiar objects to compare, order and estimate parts of a whole using the unit fractions ½, 1/3, ¼. (Basic Fraction Comparison , Fraction Comparison , Fraction Pictures )
   5. Use a variety of models to represent and describe parts of groups as unit fractions ½, through 1/10.
   6. Estimate and determine ½, 1/3, ¼ of a small group of up to 20 objects, such as finding ½, 1/3, ¼ of 12 cookies.
   7. Describe ratios in terms of the linear patterns that develop from the relationships between quantities, e.g., In a pattern of green, green, red blocks there are always two green blocks for one red block.

2.2 Use numbers and their properties to compute flexibly and fluently and to reasonably estimate measures and quantities.
   8. Count whole numbers to 1,000 and beyond. (Counting Squares )
   9. Count on by tens from a given amount, e.g., 17, 27, 37, etc. (Skip Counting )
   10. Read and write numerals up to 1,000. (Counting Squares )
   11. Skip count by twos, fives, tens and hundreds to 1,000 and beyond. (Skip Counting )
   12. Determine whether a set of objects has an odd or even number of items by pairing objects and creating arrays. (Odd or Even )
   13. Create word problems and write and solve two- and three-digit number sentences that reflect contextual situations and real-world experiences involving addition and subtraction. Construct and solve open sentences, e.g., [] + 5 = 11. Solve the problems using a variety of methods including models, pictures, pencil and paper, estimation and mental computation, and describe the reasoning or strategies used. (Missing Term , Basic Word Problems )
