Grade 1 - Mathematics
Math 1 A - Semester 1 (Credit: 0.50)This course is semester 1 only of Math 1. During the first semester students will build fluency with basic math facts. They will learn to count to 100, basic addition and subtraction facts, 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.
Students will have multiple opportunities to practice new skills and knowledge through using integrated online practice problems.
Topics covered:
Counting to 100
Counting strategies
Addition of three numbers; double digit addition
Understanding even and odd numbers
