1st Grade Math

Practice counting objects to 100 (paper clips, pieces of cereal, blocks, anything!) by 1's and 10's

Practice writing numbers from 0 to 20 

Write a numeral from 0 to 20 to represent a number of objects

Practice counting out objects (e.g., pennies) when given a number 1 to 20

Use <, >, and = symbols to show the relationship between numbers (up to 99)

Classify objects (put them in groups) and count the number of objects in each group.

Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from

Practice making 10 when given a number from 1 to 9 by using objects or drawings

• (e.g., If you have 4 paper clips, how many more do you need to make 10?)

Fluently add and subtract within 5, and solve addition and subtraction word problems.

Compose and decompose numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value (e.g., 18 = 10+8)

Learn the names of two and three-dimensional shapes; describe the different shapes and practice drawing them. (e.g., a square has four equal sides) 

Walk around your house and/or apartment. How many windows can you see? How many doors? Which object is there more of, doors or windows?

Predict how many jumping jacks you can do in 30 seconds. Test your prediction. Use the terms “less than” or “equal to” to compare your prediction and the actual count. 

Draw a number line. Beginning with 18, go back 12 numbers. What number did you stop on?

Write ten-number sentences that equal 10.  Use both addition and subtraction. Draw models to show your number sentences.
