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.

1st grade common core aligned learning objectives & standards:.

Learning objectives:

In Grade 1 level, learners are expected to mainly focus on these four key areas: 

(1) developing an understanding of two basic operations: addition, subtraction , as well as strategies in solving such;

(2) displaying a deeper recognition of relationships between whole number and place value

(3) showing initial understanding of accurate and precise use of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and 

(4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes . 

Skills to develop:

a. Conceptual skills

• Learners should be able to distinguish the relationship between counting and the two basic mathematical operations of numbers (addition and subtraction), for example: adding three is the same as counting on three. They should be able to explain and use basic properties of addition as one of the strategies to add whole numbers . By comparing a variety of solution strategies, grade 1 learners will be able to build their own understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction. 
• They should be able to compare whole numbers (within 100) based on their place value using tens and ones only. That thinking of whole numbers between 10 and 100 can be expressed in terms of tens and ones (especially recognizing the numbers 21 to 29 as composed of two tens and some ones). Through activities that will develop number sense, learners will be able to understand the order of the counting numbers and their relative magnitudes. This is a good foundation for them to solve related problems. 
• Learners are expected to demonstrate understanding of the meaning and processes of basic concepts of measurement, including units for length, mass, and time.
• They should be able to recognize shapes from different perspectives and orientations, to classify their geometric attributes, and describe how they are alike and different, to develop the background for measurement and for initial understandings of properties such as congruence and symmetry.

b. Procedural skills

• Learners should be able to  discover strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers within 20 based on their prior knowledge with small numbers. They should apply a different types of models, including countable objects and length-based models (e.g., connecting cubes to form lengths), to create visual representations showing how to  add-to, take-from, put-together, take-apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction. Also, learners are to begin becoming problem solvers who are able to reason out in certain situations.
• Derive ways to solve problems using the properties of addition and to create sophisticated strategies based on these properties (e.g., “making tens”) to solve addition and subtraction problems within 20. 
• Learners apply their understanding of tens and ones in being able to  develop and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to add within 100 and subtract multiples of 10. 
• They explore the properties of shapes to compose and decompose plane or solid figures (e.g., put two triangles together to make a quadrilateral) and build understanding of part-whole relationships as well as the properties of the original and composite shapes . 

c. Life skills

• Learners in this level are exposed to a more concrete application of math in their daily lives. The learned concepts and skills are useful in counting, adding, and subtracting real objects such as toys, food boxes, school supplies, etc. 
• As they are already introduced to the basic concept of time in hours and halves, they will begin to give meaning and importance in spending their time wisely. Through that, they will become more responsible and disciplined individuals.
• They will also begin to appreciate the importance of understanding the units of measurement in selecting appropriate sizes of things/shapes. 
• These lessons will also strengthen their knowledge and perspective about the different shapes and space in their surroundings. To be able to tell renowned similarities and differences of objects/materials.

First graders will be able to grasp the concept of tens and ones if you break it down into simple ideas and offer them visuals or hands-on blocks to use while learning it. 

When you count out single pieces in front of them, pause at ten. Illustrate to the students that ten pieces of one is the same as ( replace the ten pieces with one block ) one unit of ten. 

You can further illustrate this by doing the same process again; keep your unit of ten and add three pieces, asking the students how much there now is in total. They should easily be able to conclude that this is the number 13. Continue adding pieces until there is a unit of ten beside ten pieces. Ask the students if you can replace the ten pieces with a unit of ten. When they say “yes,” replace the pieces with another block, indicating there are now 20 in total, or two blocks of ten. 

Offer the students their own pieces to count. You can supplement this lesson with a worksheet focused on grouping objects or different numbers that they can demonstrate and solve using their pieces and blocks. 

Number lines help students make sense of simple single and double digit numbers and math problems; they can look at their number lines to help them work on their addition and subtraction problems. Number lines also help students make sense of word problems and data analysis. 

The best way to introduce and write number lines for 1st graders is to incorporate number line worksheets that leave some numbers blank, so students can learn to fill out a number line themselves. Check out these printable 1st grade math worksheets on number lines or the ones I highlighted above.
