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.

How to make math fun for your first grader: tips and tricks

Math can be a tedious and frustrating subject for many children, especially if they need help understanding it or finding it too hard. But math can also be a fun and exciting subject if you know how to make it so. Here are some tips and tricks to make math fun for your first grader :

• Use manipulatives . Manipulatives are objects your child can touch, move, and count to help them understand math concepts. For example, you can use blocks, coins, beads, buttons, or anything else your child likes to play with. Manipulatives can help your child visualize math problems and concretely solve them.
• Use games . Games are a great way to make math fun and competitive for your first grader. You can use board games, card games, dice games, or online games that involve math skills. For example, you can play Uno, Monopoly, Yahtzee, or Math Bingo with your child. Games can help your child practice math facts, mental math, and problem-solving skills in a fun way.
• Use stories . Stories are a great way to make math relatable and meaningful for your first grader. You can use books, comics, videos, or podcasts that involve math concepts or characters. For example, you can read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle with your child and talk about how many fruits the caterpillar ate each day. Stories can help your child connect math to their own experiences and interests.
• Use rewards . Rewards are a great way to motivate your first grader to do math and celebrate their achievements. You can use stickers, stamps, certificates, badges, or anything else your child likes to collect. You can also use praise, hugs, high-fives, or words of encouragement to show your child you are proud of their math efforts. Rewards can help your child feel good about themselves and their math abilities.

Fun math games and puzzles: Challenge your first grader's skills

If you want to challenge your first grader's math skills and make them think outside the box, you should try some fun math games and puzzles with them.

These games and puzzles are designed to be fun and engaging for your first grader. They will also help your child develop critical thinking, logic, and reasoning skills essential for math success.

Here are some examples of fun math games and puzzles for first graders:

• Sudoku . Sudoku is a popular puzzle game that involves filling a grid with numbers from 1 to 9 without repeating any number in a row, column, or 3x3 box. Sudoku is an excellent game for practicing number recognition, patterns, and logic skills. You can find Sudoku puzzles online or in books suitable for first graders.
• Tangrams . Tangrams are ancient Chinese puzzles that use seven geometric shapes to form different figures. Tangrams are an excellent game for practicing shapes, symmetry, fractions, and spatial skills. You can find tangram puzzles online or in books suitable for first graders.
• Magic Squares . Magic squares are puzzles that involve filling in a grid with numbers so that the sum of each row, column, and diagonal is the same. Magic squares are a great game for practicing addition facts, mental math, and algebra skills. You can find magic square puzzles online or in books suitable for first graders.

Number Search Puzzles

Number Search Puzzles are a great way to get children looking for numbers and developing number recognition skills.

They are also a good resource for developing short term number memory skills, and can be a good way to take the fear out of large numbers.

We have a range of different number search puzzles - from easier puzzles to trickier ones to work out.

With the easier puzzles, the numbers only go horizontally (left to right) or vertically downwards.

The numbers get progressively larger on the trickier puzzles, and the grids get larger.
