Grade 1 Math

Semester A

During the first semester students will build fluency with basic math facts. They will learn basic addition and subtraction facts, how to count to 100, and how to add double-digit numbers. Students will be introduced to such new concepts as word problems, Venn diagrams, and basic geometric concepts. There is an emphasis on learning practical skills such as reading thermometers, looking at maps, and understanding the value of coins.

Semester B

During the second semester, students will begin counting by twos, fives, and tens. They will learn both vertical addition and subtraction. Students are introduced to multiplication and division, as well as the signs used in those operations. They will also study even and odd numbers. Students continue their exploration of geometric shapes through drawing and apply what they learn about shapes by sorting various figures in Venn diagrams. They will also use a balance beam to understand the concept of weight – lighter versus heavier.

In both semesters, students will have multiple opportunities to practice new skills and knowledge through using integrated online practice problems.
