GRADE 1 - MATH

 

In Grade 1, instructional time focuses on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes. Math lessons all include kinesthetic aspects, including a combination of hands-on exploration, songs, movement, manipulatives, collaboration, math games, and/or art. Throughout the year students will engage in math through the thematic units and learn about number bonds, denomination of money, geometric symbols, measurement, and patterning.
