problems with sums less than 20.

 0006.2.15 Understand subtraction as “break apart” or “take away” and solve

subtraction problems using numbers 1 through 10.

subtraction.

 0006.2.17 Understand that numbers can be represented by different groupings.

shapes) to create patterns.

 0006.3.2 Name, copy, and extend patterns.

 0006.3.3 Translate simple patterns into rules.
