1st Grade Numbers (Counting, Writing)

Reading and Writing Numbers

Students count objects and pictures, and count by rote up to 120. To support students in their development of counting skills, encourage students to count objects they see in their environment.

Students continue to learn counting sequences and will write numbers up to 120. Print out copies of the Number Charts to use with students every day. The first chart includes numbers up to 100. Students should master counting these numbers before using the second chart that includes numbers to 120. Reinforce counting skills by having students count everyday objects and write the number.
