This site is a series of video lectures and interactive exercises for teaching basic mathematics skills to first graders. It has separate addition and subtraction skills reviews numbers up to 10, 20, and 100; a section on telling time and reading clocks as well as course material on measurement and geometry.

This site features a video overview of Addition (Sums to Twenty) for 1st Graders.

This is a video and assessment exercise aimed at helping first graders identify incorrect subtraction.

This course features a video review and an interactive assessment activity for selecting the correct addition sequence. It is aimed at first graders.

 Students will listen to the book The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires and then collaboratively work together to make a doll that talks using the Scratch program and a Makey Makey. (These two tools were introduced and taught prior to this lesson.)

This video lecture serves as a review of subtraction up to the number twenty for first graders.

Students work in teams to follow criteria and constraints to design their own container that holds pompoms (popcorn). When this is completed they need to test and record how many pom-poms their container will hold. Students find that counting and organizing groups of ten is the best way to do this. They record their information on a data analysis sheet and the following day they compare their numbers and amounts.

Students will work individually to design and create a doghouse that will help their pet during 1 of the 4 seasons. After completion students will present their pet houses to the class to present what elements of their design help their pet survive during their season.

Students will listen to the word spoken, move the dots to represent each sound in the word to the sound box, and spell the word, ad move the letter tile to the sound in each box. Students will move the heart over the tricky (heart) part of the word.

Students will show strategies to find the missing addend in a number sentence.

1st graders LOVE learning about wants and needs and the basics of a market economy. This unit was created with support from the Oakland County School curriculum to help foster their interested in how our economy works. 

The students will be taught all about wants, needs, goods, services, producers, consumers, and how trade works. At the end of the unit, the students will participate in a Market Day to practice the concepts learned. 

Our classroom will be posting often to our classroom SeeSaw page. If you use Google Classroom or Edmodo, you can use them for the students to post their thoughts.

As a district we utilize Academic Vocabulary as a way to organize students vocabulary words in each subject area. If you are interested in vocabulary word work, there are two options with this unit. First, each lesson has a vocabulary page that you could put into a binder or notebook. (You will find these in the Oakland Lesson Plans in the Suplements.)  Or, you could use the following vocabulary pages for ALL your subjects and house them in a 3 ring binder or folder with fasteners. https://drive.google.com/a/hamiltonschools.us/file/d/0B5FmzPCn6soYX2JuaWctT2RMUDQ/view?usp=sharing
