standard_description: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to count on from a given number. As students count, point to the numbers posted so that students can follow along. To support students as they learn to count on, consider asking “What number comes after 3?” or providing a running start by counting “1, 2, 3…” and having students continue the count.
Launch

Count to 10.
Activity
“Now start at the number 3 and count to 10.”
Count on from 3 to 10.
Repeat 3–4 times starting with other numbers within 10.
