Standards

  • NBT-1

    Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

  • NBT-2

    Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

  • NBT-3

    Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (e.g., 9 × 80, 5 × 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Clarifications

Tasks associated with this target will be non-contextual computation problems that assess fluency in addition and subtraction within 1000. Some of these tasks should provide information about the strategies and/or algorithms students are using,...
