__Math__



There are many topics and skills that the first graders need to learn in math. We use Investigations Math Program to help us reach Grade Level Expectations. Students this age rely on concrete objects to make abstract concepts easier to understand. Nightly practice with math flash cards will strengthen mental math skills. We also introduce the PAC plan (Plan, Act and Communicate) to use when problem solving. This is modeled and practiced over and over again with the children so that they have a good understanding of how to approach a mathematical problem. The students will be learning concepts of time, money, place value, geometry, measurement, fractions, graphing, estimating, and comparing.

Below are some fun websites you and your child can visit to practice basic skills and have some fun!
