    • Standard: Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately.

  2. 2.NBT.5

    • Standard: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

  3. 2.OA.1

    • Standard: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems, including those involving simple fractions.

  4. 2.MD.7

    • Standard: Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
