Mathematics
First Grade Curriculum
*This week, we finish Chapter 4: Subtraction Facts to 10. We will then start Chapter 5 next week.
Chapter 4: Subtraction Facts to 10
Children will learn different methods of subtraction such as taking-away, counting on, and using number bonds. They will also learn the part-whole concept. If you know one part and the whole amount, and need to know the other part, you use subtraction. Number bonds reinforces this concept. Lastly, there is an Identity Property of Subtraction that states that any zero subtracted from any number is equal to that number. Another property of subtraction states that any number subtracted from itself equal zero.
Chapter 5: Shapes and Patterns
Children have learned to identify, name, and describe a variety of plane shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles as well as recognize solid shapes such as spheres, cubes, and pyramids. Children will now extend their knowledge to compare shapes, and determine their geometric attributes and properties in addition to recognizing them from different perspectives and orientations. Children will also compose and decompose plane and solid shapes, and make patterns with plane and solid shapes.
