# 1.NR.1: Count Sequence to 120

Extend the count sequence to 120. Read, write, and represent numerical values to 120 and compare numerical values to 100.

- Subject: Mathematics
- Appears in: Grade 1, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/math/grade-1.md

## Expectations

- **1.NR.1.1**: Count within 120, forward and backward, starting at any number. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
- **1.NR.1.2**: Explain that the two digits of a 2-digit number represent the amounts of tens and ones.
- **1.NR.1.3**: Compare and order whole numbers up to 100 using concrete models, drawings, and the symbols >, =, and <.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.

## The same standard across grades

- Kindergarten, K.NR.1: Demonstrate and explain the relationship between numbers and quantities up to 20; connect counting to cardinality (the last number counted represents the total quantity in a set). https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/K.NR.1.md
- **Grade 1, 1.NR.1 (this standard)**: Extend the count sequence to 120. Read, write, and represent numerical values to 120 and compare numerical values to 100.
- Grade 2, 2.NR.1: Using the place value structure, explore the count sequences to represent, read, write, and compare numerical values to 1000 and describe basic place-value relationships and structures. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/2.NR.1.md
- Grade 3, 3.NR.1: Use place value reasoning to represent, read, write, and compare numerical values up to 10,000 and round whole numbers up to 1,000. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.NR.1.md
- Grade 4, 4.NR.1: Recognize patterns within the base ten place value system with quantities presented in real-life situations to compare and round multi-digit whole numbers through the hundred-thousands place and compare decimal numbers to the hundredths place. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/4.NR.1.md
- Grade 5, 5.NR.1: Use place value understanding to solve real-life, mathematical problems. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/5.NR.1.md
- Grade 6, 6.NR.1: Solve relevant, mathematical problems involving operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimal numbers. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.NR.1.md
- Grade 7, 7.NR.1: Solve relevant, mathematical problems, including multi-step problems, involving the four operations with rational numbers and quantities in any form (integers, percentages, fractions, and decimal numbers). https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/7.NR.1.md
- Grade 8, 8.NR.1: Solve problems involving irrational numbers and rational approximations of irrational numbers to explain realistic applications. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/8.NR.1.md
