๐ญ Ever wondered why number lines donโt appear in the standards until G2?
So much of K and G1 focuses on counting.
Using a number line requires much more abstract thinking than early counting.
So what should you use in K and G1?

Even when students use the standard algorithm for decimals, โtricksโ can creep in โ and many of them are representation-dependent
