Grade 1: September Unit
Numbers, Shapes, and Time (@20 days)

Overview                                                                              
View the Video Introduction. (Numbers for Time) September will focus on learning critical math skills and includes lessons on counting to 100 by 1’s and 10’s, greater than/less than/and equal to up to 50, complex patterns, two dimensional shapes, and how to read time to the hour. Students will begin to learn about graphs and the information that they can represent and they will begin to learn their addition and subtraction facts up to 5.

Assessment Blueprints - As District 11 Diamond Units/Lessons are designed and linked to the Math Web, we will add the Assessment Blueprints that teachers created. Teachers creating Diamond Units and Lessons design those based on the concepts found in Understanding by Design. It promotes the development of a comprehensive assessment plan before any of the activities are designed. This guarantees that learning activities are appropriately aligned to standards, and provide varied opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery.
Before presenting the lessons, we encourage you to review the following Assessment Blueprint for the September unit.
September Assessment: Numbers, Shapes and Time
 


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

  • Numbers can be represented in patterns, graphs, and shapes.

  • Shapes can be used to help us see patterns and measure.

  • Recognizing patterns helps us make sense of our world.

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

  • How might you show a repeating pattern of shapes or numbers?

  • How can you show greater than, less than or equal to using manipulatives?

  • What number patterns do we use for counting?

  • How do we measure time?

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 - September
Count by 1's, 10’s to 100
Understand greater than, less than, equal to (use whole numbers to 50)
Use the terms of estimation correctly (about, near, closer to, a little less than)
Make reasonable estimates to 30
Standard 2: Patterns - September
Identify, describe, create, and extend patterns (AB Patterns and Patterns in shapes)
Identify number patterns (calendar activities and hundreds chart)
Standard 3: Data and Graphs - September
Read and interpret simple picture graphs
Standard 4:  Geometry - September
Label basic 2 dimensional shapes appropriately
Standard 5:  Measurement - September
Tell time to the hour using an analog and digital clock
Measure using nonstandard units (cubes, paperclips)
Standard 6:  Computation - September
Practice math facts to 5 using manipulative (addition and subtraction)
Choose and apply strategies to solve problems (know when to add or subtract)

Parents

You can help support your first grader’s math learning by providing counting opportunities at home. Counting uncooked pasta or beans in a cup or other quantity reinforces 1 to 1 correspondence and counting fluency. Remarking about what time it is when supper is ready (or other regular home events) on the kitchen clock reinforces the idea of time. Asking about how many items are in your hand without actually counting first reinforces estimation skills. Asking which hand has more, less, or the same amount strengthens amount awareness. Talking about shapes and patterns in wall paper, tiles, or plants helps children become aware of the many patterns around us.
