Key ideas
We read four-digit numbers without 'and': 5321 is 'five thousand three hundred twenty-one.'.
We can break numbers by place value and add or subtract the parts.
Skip-count from a known fact: for 6 x 3, think 5 x 3 = 15, then 15 + 3 = 18.
A fraction names equal parts of a whole or part of a set.
We write numbers with a space, not a comma: 10 000.
Watch out for
- Adding 'and' when reading a whole number.
- Losing place value when combining parts.
- Skip-counting the wrong number of groups.

There are 24 hours in a day; a 24-hour clock counts them all.
Area is the surface a shape covers, measured in square units.
AM is morning and PM is afternoon and evening.
A square is the most efficient unit for measuring area.
Dates can be written as yyyy/mm/dd, dd/mm/yyyy, or 'March 21, 2006.'.
Watch out for
- Confusing 24-hour times, like reading 14:00 as 4 o'clock.
- Measuring area with lengths instead of square units.
- Mixing up AM and PM.

Key ideas
Many-to-one correspondence means one symbol or interval stands for several items.
It is useful when the amounts are too large for one-to-one.
A pictograph legend tells how many each symbol stands for.
A bar graph interval tells how much each step on the axis represents.
Watch out for
- Reading each symbol as one item in a many-to-one graph.
- Not noticing the key that tells the correspondence.
- Ignoring the legend or interval when reading.
