Grade 1: April Unit

Reading, Writing, and Counting (@ 20 days)


Overview
View the Video Introduction. (Numbers of Objects) April of grade 1 focuses on a variety of important mathematical concepts. First graders will practice reading, writing, and counting numbers to 500, make reasonable estimates to 50, measuring objects in inches, and practice estimating skills in problem solving. Patterns, data and graphs, three dimensional geometric shapes, length in inches, time, computation, and problem solving strategy concepts will be reviewed and solidified.
 

Integration: This is an Integrated Unit for Social Studies, Math and Art.

Enduring Understandings are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

 

  • Numbers can be represented, ordered, and communicated in many different forms.

  • In order to communicate mathematical ideas, we must be able to understand and use the language of math.

  • A sense of number is necessary to find reasonable solutions.

  • Recognizing patterns helps us make sense of our world.

  • Interpreting data displays helps us make sense of information.

  • Appropriate tools and units are needed to measure.

  • Recognition and expression of size communicates measurement relationships.

  • What essential computational skills are needed to solve real world problems?

 

Essential Questions are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • Why does having a sense of number help find reasonable estimations?

  • In what ways can computation be expressed in problem solving situations?

  • What determines when you use addition or subtraction?

  • What are some frequently used number patterns for counting?

  • What are the graphic tools we use to clarify data and when do we use them?

  • How do we measure time?

  • How are computation skills and techniques used strategically in real-world situations?

  • What makes for a reasonable solution?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills

 Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated at this grade level.
 High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills is expected at this grade level.
 Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.

Parents

Congratulations for helping your first grader attain the necessary mathematical skills for fourth quarter. Your child has experienced many math concepts to this point in the year, and you can help him/her finish the year well. Any activities you have enjoyed together so far should be revisited. These activities will help you both realize and be proud of just how much your child has learned. Consider adding to your review activities; making reasonable estimates to 50, reinforce the ones and tens places; measure lengths in inches; create and extend patterns using manipulatives; reinforce ordinal numbers from first to tenth, review telling time to the hour, minute, and second; build models with geometric shapes; sort 3 dimensional shapes by color, size, shape, number of sides and corners, etc.; use probability words (likely, unlikely, certain, impossible, predict, estimate) to predict answers in addition and subtraction; review addition and subtraction problems to 20, and discuss solution strategies and thought processes in problem solving. This sounds like a lot to do, but any mathematical activities will be fun for you and your child and will strengthen his/her math fluency. Fluency is important in reading and mathematics, and it takes practice to attain!
