Grade 1: August Unit
Learning About Numbers
 
(@10 days)

Overview                                                                              
View the Video Introduction. (Comparing One and Two-Digit Numbers) August will focus on learning critical math skills and includes lessons on counting and ordering numbers to 100, and also finding and estimating and odd/even numbers to 10. Students will gain a deeper understanding of order in counting and what makes numbers even or odd. Students will review 2-dimensional shapes and sorting; telling time to the hour; and read, interpret, and create picture graphs.

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 August unit.
August Assessment Blueprint: Learning About Numbers
 
 

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.

  • Graphs help us understand information.

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 does a graph give information without many words?

  •  How many ways can you show the length of something?

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

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.
