First Grade Math at Home: Parent Guide, Activities, and Reusable Tools

First Grade math can feel unfamiliar to families when children are expected to show models, drawings, equations, and flexible strategies.

This 72-page guide gives adults a clear way to support First Grade math without replacing the child’s thinking or requiring one method.

You will not need special training or expensive materials. Choose one skill, gather a few familiar objects, and follow the activity page. The guide tells you what to say, what to notice, how to help without taking over, and when the skill may need more practice.

Inside the guide:

·    counting, reading, writing, representing, comparing, and ordering numbers to 120

·    understanding tens and ones and finding 10 more or 10 less

·    solving varied addition and subtraction situations within 20

·    unknown numbers, the equal sign, and matching stories, models, and equations

·    counting on, doubles, make-10, related facts, and place-value strategies

·    measurement, time to the hour and half-hour, data, shapes, and equal shares

You will also receive a number chart, tens-and-ones mat, place-value cards, open number lines, a double ten-frame, equation and part-whole mats, a clock mat, measurement and data tools, shape cards, an observation page, and a quick activity finder.
