Grade 1: January Unit

Numbers, Patterns, and Shapes (@ 15 days)


Overview
January of grade 1 focuses on learning critical mathematics skills and includes lessons on number sense, patterns, graphs, and computation. First graders will experience math counting activities identifying numbers in the hundreds; identify linear patterns in skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s; review AB, ABB, and ABC patterns; identify three dimensional shapes in the environment. Real world problem solving opportunities using estimation and reasonableness will increase.

Standards

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.

  • Recognizing patterns helps us make sense of our world.

  • Mathematics is a tool for communication.

  • Geometry is all over the world in everything we see.


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

  • What are common patterns in daily life?

  • What are some frequently used number patterns for counting?

  • Why is knowing place value important?

  • What does it mean when we say geometry is all around us?  Why is that statement true?

 

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.

 

Standard 1:  Number Sense - January

Identify numbers in the hundreds

Order and compare numbers to 100

Read, write, and counts to 300

Identify ordinal numbers first-tenth

Identify ones and tens place value

Identify commonly used fractions thirds and quarters

Demonstrate different strategies to solve problems (estimation)

 Standard 2: Patterns - January

Identify patterns in skip counting 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100

Review AB, ABB, ABC patterns

Standard 3: Data and Graphs - January

Demonstrate an understanding of daily events involving probability

Explain results of various class graphs

Standard 4: Geometry - January

Standard 5:  Measurement - January

Tell and write time the hour and half hour

Measure lengths in different objects using inches

Demonstrate the concept of time and how it is measured (seconds, minutes, or hours)

 Standard 6:  Computation - January

Add and subtract numbers to 15 with manipulatives and written expressions

Demonstrate different strategies to solve problems (estimation, addition, and subtraction)

Parents

Third quarter mathematics for your first grader brings many opportunities for growth at school and at home. Consider supporting your child in mathematics by counting to higher numbers by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's. Number and object patterns are reviewed all of 3rd quarter, so help your child create patterns with colored candies, pasta shapes, coins, or other common objects. Include talk about ordinal numbers like first, second, third, and on up to tenth. You can also act out simple addition/subtraction stories using objects. Cut cookies or pizzas in halves, thirds, or fourths to help your child understand fractional parts of a whole. The possibilities are endless, and the return is priceless. Have fun with your first grader and numbers!
