Math Curriculum
We use the Addison-Wesley Mathematics
series. We integrate problem solving, reasoning, group work and the use of manipulatives
into math lessons to provide an opportunity for success for all learners. Student progress
is continually monitored through paper and pencil activities and in discussions. We use
many "hands on" activities with the children when teaching math concepts. The
children need to begin with concrete examples and activities and after achieving mastery,
they move on to "pencil and paper" work.
We Cover Such Areas As:
 | Patterning and sorting |
| Addition and subtraction to 2 |
| Place Value |
| Measurement |
| Time and money |
| Geometry |
| Counting by 2's, 5's and 10's (Zero the Hero) |
| Estimate and graphing |
| Problem solving |
At the end of first grade your child should be able to:
| Read number words from one to ten. |
| Read ordinal numbers from first to tenth. |
| Write numbers from 1- 100. |
| Add and subtract to 18. |
| Count by 2's,5's, 10's. |
| Recognize a triangle, square, rectangle, circle, cube, cylinder, sphere,and a cone. |
| Understand the concept of symmetry. |
| Tell time by the hour and 1/2 hour. |
| Identify the worth of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter. |
| Add and subtract 2-digit numbers without regrouping (carrying). |
| Have the ability to sort objects by different characteristics. |
