Our adopted program is Everyday Mathematics by McGraw-Hill.
It is a very hands-on approach to learning math skills. Your child will be using real money, clocks, calculators, shape templates, attribute blocks, shape blocks, and flashcards as tools in math this year. Our first graders will be encouraged to look for patterns, especially on the 100 chart.
Near the middle of September your child will begin bringing math homework called Home Links home, which will review skills introduced and practiced at school. This is optional at-home practice and may be returned to school if you wish.
It is very important for children to learn the basic addition and subtraction facts to 10 (or higher) by the end of the year, as well as being able to explain their strategy for adding or subtracting.
