Math

The first graders are learning math through a manipulatives based program. Through guided practice, the students are learning math fluency and how to apply problem solving strategies. https://www.engageny.org/resource/grade-1-mathematics

A basic outline of the first grade year is as follows:

Module 1: Sums and Differences to 10

Module 2: Introduction to Place Value Through Addition and Subtraction Within 20

Module 3: Ordering and Comparing Length Measurements as Numbers (Including Centimeters and Inches)

Module 4: Place Value, Comparison (<, >, =), Addition and Subtraction to 40 (Including Counting Dimes and Pennies)

Module 5: Identifying, Composing and Partitioning Shapes (Geometry, Fractions and Telling Time)

Module 6: Place Value, Comparison, Addition and Subtraction to 100 (Including Counting Nickels and Quarters)

Math Homework: Your child will bring home a math worksheet based on the day's lesson. The Problem Set sheet that we completed in class is a great resource.
