1st Grade MathFirst Graders use a consumable math workbook. The program is complimented with an online component called Connect Ed. We utilize virtual tools and many hands on manipulatives to enhance our learning and understanding. Some of the concepts covered in first grade are; developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20. We will also spend time working on developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones. Later in the year we will focus on developing understanding of linear measurement, weight and volume, reasoning about attributes of geometric shapes, identifying and counting coins and measuring time on an analog clock, probability and symmetry. We will also use a supplemental math workbook called Simple Solutions. The Simple Solutions book focuses on reinforcement of old and new concepts taught in kindergarten and first grade.

First Grade Math Fluency Test Guidelines and Pacing:
1st Quarter: Complete levels 1,3,4,6,7 2nd Quarter: Complete levels 8,10,11,12,13,14 3rd Quarter: Complete levels 15,16,18,19,20,21 4th Quarter: Complete levels 22,23,24,25,26 Tests 2,5,9,17 and 20 have been eliminated. Please note, these are suggested guidelines for first graders. This is how I would like to see them progress through their Fluency Testing to reach our expectation by the end of the year. Test: 1. +5 2. Eliminated 3. +5 4. -5 5. Eliminated 6. -5 7. +/-5 8. +10 9. Eliminated 10. +10 11. -10 12. -10 13. -10 14. +/-10 15. +15 16. +15 17. Eliminated 18. -15 19. -15 20.
