These centers align to Common Core Standards:

CCSS K.OA.A.4 For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.

CCSS K.OA.A.5 Fluently add and subtract within 5.

CCSS K.MD.B.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.

CCSS K.CC.A.2 Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).

CCSS K.CC.A.3 Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).

CCSS K.CC.B.4a 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.

CCSS K.CC.B.4b Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.

CCSS K.CC.B.4c Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

CCSS K.CC.B.5 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.

Although the centers take a bit to print and put together, you will love them because once made up, you will have them for years to come. This resource is intended to be printed, laminated and put in baggies or containers for quick and easy set up.
