What math skills should I teach my first grade class?

The skills you teach your first graders will depend on your curriculum and their individual learning needs.

Generally, students should learn basic arithmetic operations within 20, understand numbers up to 120, tell time using both analog and digital clocks, interpret simple data, and understand basic geometric concepts including shape attributes and partitioning.

If you’re following the Common Core curriculum , you will want to cover the following standards:

Operations and Algebraic Thinking:

• Using basic addition and subtraction within 20 to solve a variety of word problems, including those involving putting together or taking apart numbers, comparisons, and unknowns in all positions. This can be achieved using visual aids like objects and drawings, or equations with symbols for unknown numbers.
• Solving word-based math problems involving the addition of three whole numbers whose total is less than or equal to 20.
• Applying properties of operations as strategies for addition and subtraction.
• Understanding subtraction as a problem of finding an unknown addend.
• Relating the process of counting to the concepts of addition and subtraction.
• Adding and subtracting numbers within 20 fluently, and applying strategies such as counting on, making ten, decomposing numbers, using the relationship between addition and subtraction, and creating equivalent but easier or known sums for ease of calculation.
• Understanding the meaning of the equal sign and being able to determine if addition and subtraction equations are true or false.
• Determining the unknown whole number in equations involving the addition or subtraction of three whole numbers.

Number and Operations in Base Ten:

• Counting up to 120, starting from any number less than 120. This also involves reading and writing numerals within this range and representing a number of objects with a written numeral.
• Understanding that a two-digit number is composed of tens and ones.
• Comparing two two-digit numbers based on the meaning of the tens and ones digits. This involves using the symbols '>', '=', and '<' to record the results of comparisons.
• Adding within 100, including adding a two-digit number to a one-digit number, and a two-digit number to a multiple of 10. This involves using concrete models or drawings, strategies based on place value, and properties of operations. Students are also expected to relate their strategies to a written method and explain their reasoning. It includes understanding that when adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens to tens and ones to ones, and occasionally it may be necessary to compose a ten.
• Given a two-digit number, mentally finding 10 more or 10 less than the number without having to count, and being able to explain the reasoning behind it.
• Subtracting multiples of 10 (ranging from 10 to 90) from other multiples of 10 in the same range. This is done using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value and operations. Students should relate their strategy to a written method and explain their reasoning used.

Measurement & Data: 

• Telling and writing time in hours and half-hours using both analog and digital clocks.
• Organizing, representing, and interpreting data with up to three categories. This involves asking and answering questions about the total number of data points, the number of data points in each category, and comparing the number of data points between different categories.
• Distinguishing between defining attributes (like triangles being closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (such as color, orientation, or size). This includes building and drawing shapes with defining attributes.
• Partitioning circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares and describing these shares using terms like halves, fourths, and quarters. Also, understanding that decomposing a shape into more equal shares results in smaller shares. This includes the ability to describe the whole shape as two or four of these shares.

First Grade Operations and Hints of Algebra Worksheets

• Addition and Subtraction Word Problems (OA.1)- These worksheets focus on problems that are in word form and require a single sum or difference calculation to be performed to solve a situation based exercise.
• Single Digit Subtraction (1.OA.A.1)- We introduce students to the basic concept of a mathematical difference.
• Simple Subtraction Word Problems (1.OA.A.1)- We take the concept differences and apply it to word problems.
• Fixed Integer Subtraction to 12 (Related to 1.OA.A.1)- Students work on removing just a single specific number for various integers that are 12 and under. A great section for working on your basic first grade math facts.
• Addition Word Problems (Up to 20) - (OA.2)- These worksheets present problems that are found in sentence form and involve sums that total twenty or less.
• Simple Addition Word Problem (1.OA.A.2)- This is where you should start with the entire word problem set.
• Properties of Operations as Strategies (OA.3)- These worksheets look at the common math properties for students at this level. The mainstay here is the associative and commutative properties.
• The Commutative Property (OA.3) - This also looks at the concept of multiplying, but great for advanced learners.
• Subtraction and Unknown Addends (to 20) (OA.4)- This is really a primer to get students ready for single step algebra.
• Missing Operations (Add and Subtract) (1.OA.B.4)- Tell us what these problems are missing. Hint: It is an operator.
• Subtracting Numbers with Figures (Related to 1.OA.4)- We start to make the transition from integers to pictures.
• Relate Counting to Addition and Subtraction (1.OA.B.5)- When you think about it, both of these operations are exactly like counting. Moving in one direction or another. We make this obvious for students.
• Adding and Subtracting Within 20 (1.OA.C.6)- We keep the sums and different just under the value of twenty.
• Math Fact Families (1.OA.C.6, 1.OA.B, 3.OA.4)- Fact families are groups of numbers that are almost systematic in the way they can be rearranged to add and subtract. This really helps you master basic operations quickly.
• Subtraction Mad Minutes (1.OA.C.6)- These are left to right sum problems.
• Rapid Fire Horizontal Subtraction Math Facts (1.OA.C.6)- Same as above, but we subtract now.
• Rapid Fire Vertical Addition Math Facts (1.OA.C.6)- These are awesome to keep up your level of practice.
• Subtraction Math Facts (1.OA.C.6)- This is the format that most students are accustom to, but in the real world things are a bit more fluid.
• Number Bonds (1.OA.C.6)- A fun way to reinforce this skill for students and teachers alike.
• Working With Equals Signs ( OA.7)- This is the foundation of working with equations.
• Unknown Numbers in Sums and Differences (OA.8)- This helps students make a nice transition to word problems.

First Grade Numbers and Base Ten Worksheets

• Counting (Up to 120) (1.NBT.1)- This really helps to make the transition to learning to form sums and differences.
• One and Tens Place Values - 1.NBT.2)- Students begin to understand the meaning behind place holder and place value.
• Compare Two-Digit Numbers (1.NBT.3)- This is where the greater than, less than, and equal values come.
• Single Digit Addition (1.NBT.C.4)- Students start adding two single digit numbers together.
• Addition of Numbers (Under 100) (1.NBT.4)- This section starts to piece together two and three pairs of numbers.
• Ten More Or Ten Less - 1.NBT.5)- This is great for learning the powers of ten and eventually leap frogging over to exponents.
• Visual Sum and Difference Word Problems (1.NBT.6)- This is where you have to balance multiple pieces: sentences, integers, and visuals that represent integers.

First Grade Measurement and Data Worksheets

• Indirect Length Word Problems (1.MD.1)- You will use other references available to find set measures.
• Length Word Problems In Units (1.MD.2)- We use separate values to work with metric and U.S. standards units of length.
• Hours and Half Hours of Time (1.MD.3)- The minute hand is either always at the twelve or the six, in this case.
• Organizing and Understanding Data (1.MD.4)- Students learn how to make data more understandable for themselves and their audience.

First Grade Geometry Worksheets

• Attributes of Shapes (G.1)- Each shape has something very unique to it.
• Making Two-Dimensional Shapes (G.2)- These are the standard shapes and we have you draw them from scratch.
• Partitioning Circles and Rectangles (G.3)- You will break apart these geometric figures based on written directions.

How To Use Our First Grade Math Worksheets

We have teachers take all types of different approaches with our work in their classes. Usually, the most difficult decision for teachers is not how to use this in teaching, but how should we order the topics in which we present them to students. Some teachers blindly follow the order in which the curriculum committee set up when they designed it. I find that more newer teachers do this because they were never really given any help with this when they were student teaching. Some staffs have a preset school district approach that is already setup for them. Many other teachers are left to decide by themselves. My best suggestion is to write a sample problem from each section on a 3 x 5 notecard. Some topics will have multiple looks at a topic but write a single fundamental problem. There are 30 topics here, so that would require you to make 30 notecards. When you are done arrange the problems in an order of logical sequence. This will give you your best logical approach to begin with. Also know that as you teach this, it might make more sense to reorder topics. Keep those notecards handy all year long.

We would highly suggest that you consider using our math posters to post in your classroom. Our math tests are highly recommended to assess how your students are doing with all the different content areas.

We welcome you and think that every student should consider using our work year-round. If you add this work into addition of your classroom experience you are sure to have great success. Some students are looking either to get ahead, stay on task, or catch up with their math skills. This is the perfect place for you. For Those That Are Behind - Begin with the lesson, follow it up with the guided lesson and complete the work. Check your answers with the guided lesson explanation. Then move on to the worksheets. If you feel you are doing well, take a shot at a quiz. If you score north of 85%, you are in good shape. If not, go back and crack away at the practice sheets to get you in better standing. Always refer back to the original lesson, when in doubt. For Those That Are Staying on Task - All of our sections will be helpful to help you push on with each of these topics. We would encourage you start with the guided lessons. If they make sense, push on to a few practice worksheets and follow it up with a quiz. If they do not make sense, drop back to the original lesson. For Those That Are Reviewing - If you are reviewing a topic, we suggest that you start with a math quiz on that topic. You will find those at the bottom of every topic page. See how you do. If you do well, try a second quiz to make sure you have it down. If you do poorly, start at the lesson and follow through the entire topic. If you do satisfactorily, review the guided lesson and follow it up with a few worksheets. Then go back and take another quiz.

What Do Students Learn In First Grade Math Class?

In the first grade students are all about expanding their skills, which they have learned in kindergarten and preschool. The first-grade curriculum pays major emphasis on building the foundation of mathematics. Some of the things they learn in first-grade maths class are: - Counting to 100 into small number groups such as 2s, 5s, and 10s. It helps their learning towards recognizing and writing numbers to 100. - They learn the concept of "greater than" or "equal to" as well the basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. - They learn the use of symbols while using basic math operations such as "+," "-," "=," ." - Adding numbers all the way up to 100 in their head. - Learning to do simple subtraction. - Working addition and subtraction using coins. - Learning to identify simple patterns. - Learning basic measurement units such as length, weight, height. - Understanding and doing simple fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4). Learning to tell time on an analog clock and learning different terms for telling time. One thing to keep in mind when taking in the concepts behind a math curriculum is that it follows a spiral curriculum.What that means is that year after year we spiral around and build on old knowledge. So in the first grade you are building on skills that you initially learned in kindergarten. When you reach second grade, you will build on the skills that you learned in first grade.This means that if we do not quite master something, we will see it again.This gives us the chance to get it right this time. But it also indicates that if you have bad habits and do not fix them, they will be a problem in the future for you.

11. Play Shut the Box

This game has been played for hundreds of years, but it’s a fun and sneaky way to practice addition facts fluency. The goal is to “close” each of the numbers in the box from one to nine by rolling the dice. For instance, if a player rolls 11, they may close 1, 2, 3, and 5, as these add up to 11. If no numbers are available to add up to the dice total, play passes to the next player and continues until someone finally “shuts the box” by closing the last available number.

Learn more: Playdough to Plato/I Have, Who Has

20. Deal Uno cards to compare numbers

Kindergarten Smorgasboard/Uno Card Comparison via thekindergartensmorgasboard.com

Some first grade math games are just slightly harder versions of kindergarten ones. Make a greater-than/less-than mat with paper scraps and a brad, as shown.

Teach Smarter, Not Harder

Ditch the Math Homework (This is Better Than Worksheets)

Welcome, educators, to another insightful journey through our blog, where we delve into practical tips for teachers navigating the world of K-3 education. Today, we're tackling a hot topic that has long lingered in the halls of academia: math homework. But fear not; we're not just here to lament the struggles. Instead, let's explore why traditional math homework may not be the best fit for our young learners and discover a refreshing alternative that promises to revolutionize the after-school routine.

1. Why Homework Sucks

Before we dive into the solutions, let's confront the elephant in the classroom – why homework might not be as beneficial as we once thought. First and foremost, consider the overload. Young minds are like sponges, but oversaturating them with worksheets can lead to burnout rather than brilliance. Research, including a study by the National PTA and the National Education Association (NEA), highlights the negative impact of excessive homework on students' health and well-being (source: https://www.nea.org/ ).

Secondly, let's talk about development. The primary grades are crucial for fostering a love for learning, and the pressure of nightly math worksheets can hinder rather than help. Studies, like those conducted by Cooper et al. (2006), consistently show weak correlations between homework and achievement in the early grades. It's time to reevaluate our approach and consider alternatives that align with our students' developmental needs.

2. What We Can Do About It

So, what's the solution? The answer lies in exploring alternatives that not only cater to the developmental stage of our students but also make learning an enjoyable experience outside the classroom. Instead of hours spent on math worksheets, consider alternatives like assigning reading or embracing a revolutionary concept like Un-Homework.

Un-Homework is not just a fancy term; it's a transformative approach to replace traditional homework with meaningful alternatives. The Un-Homework system, as explained by elementaryedu.com ( https://elementaryedu.com/2016/07/why-im-quitting-homework-and-what-im-doing-instead.html ), empowers students with choices. Each week, students receive a paper with five engaging options. For each completed choice, students earn a Learning Lotto raffle ticket, fostering a sense of autonomy and excitement for learning.

3. Explaining Un-Homework in Depth

Un-Homework is more than just a buzzword; it's a classroom-changing system designed to save time, reduce frustration, and enhance the learning experience for students. The Un-Homework pack includes a fully editable document, homework survey, informational PowerPoint, and 34 weeks of Un-Homework activities (source: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/1st-Grade-Homework-Alternative-Homework-Choice-Board-Lottery-Editable-Menu-2631425 ).

This innovative approach allows students to choose activities that align with their interests and learning styles, making the learning process more enjoyable and meaningful. The raffle ticket system adds an element of excitement, encouraging students to participate actively in their learning journey.

Here's everything it includes:

Un-Homework is a revolutionary alternative homework system designed to alleviate the challenges associated with traditional homework while promoting student engagement, autonomy, and enjoyment of learning. This research-based, teacher-approved approach is a game-changer that not only saves time but also transforms the learning experience for both students and educators.

Key Features of Un-Homework:

• The Un-Homework pack includes a fully editable document with all weeks included. The flexibility of PowerPoint allows teachers to customize the content based on their classroom needs.
• A valuable tool to gather insights from parents, the homework survey helps educators understand parental perspectives on homework and tailor Un-Homework accordingly.
• Equipped with research and statistics, the informational PowerPoint is an essential resource for Back to School Night. It provides evidence-backed information about the weaknesses of traditional homework and introduces the Un-Homework alternative.
• The pack offers 34 weeks of Un-Homework activities, providing a variety of engaging options for students to choose from. The activities are designed with first graders in mind, but the editable option allows customization for different grade levels.
• Un-Homework templates come in fillable PDF and editable PowerPoint formats, offering teachers the flexibility to adapt the content according to their preferences. Two format options for Choice #5 accommodate different classroom structures.
• The raffle ticket system adds an element of excitement and motivation. Students earn tickets for each completed choice, and winners get to roll a die for a prize. The odds of winning increase with more completed choices and submitted tickets.
• The Un-Homework pack includes a comprehensive prize system with cards for a pocket chart. This adds an extra layer of incentive, making the learning process enjoyable and rewarding for students.
• Informative parent letters, both in PDF and fully editable PowerPoint formats, explain the Un-Homework system, its benefits, and how it works. The editable version allows teachers to customize the letter to suit their communication style and class needs.

This flexible approach allows students to choose activities that align with their learning styles and preferences. Whether it's exploring a topic through art, conducting a science experiment, or writing free poetry, UnHomework fosters a sense of autonomy and a love for learning that traditional homework often lacks.

4. Testimonials from Teachers

Still skeptical? Let's hear from fellow educators who have witnessed the transformative power of Un-Homework. Testimonials highlight the positive impact Un-Homework has had on student engagement, motivation, and overall enjoyment of learning. These authentic experiences speak volumes about the effectiveness of this alternative homework solution.

I switched to this and my kids have LOVED IT!! They love that it is whole body and my parents have had nothing but positive comments about it!

My families have been loving this and my students too! The learning lotto is our favorite part of Monday! I love that I get to edit some of the content to meet 2nd grade standards. Conferences are coming up and I can’t wait to hear the positive feedback from families about our Unhomework program.

In wrapping up our exploration into the realm of math homework alternatives, it's clear that we can bid farewell to the traditional worksheet grind and embrace innovative approaches like Un-Homework. By acknowledging the developmental needs of our young learners and providing choices that align with their interests, we can foster a lifelong love for learning. It's time to reimagine homework, making it a tool for growth rather than a source of stress. To delve deeper into the Un-Homework revolution, visit the blog post [insert blog post link]. Let's make education a journey of joy and exploration for our students.
