| First Nine Weeks Math Letter from Cobb County:
1st Grade Mathematics from Cobb County Schools
First Nine Weeks
Dear Parents:
The objectives listed below will be used to lead your child to mastery of
the concepts covered in the 1st Nine Weeks Unit of study.
Graphs
• Organize and record data using objects
• Interpret the data
Number Representations
• Sets with concrete objects/manipulatives
• Base ten models
• Pictorial drawing
• Writing numbers
• Place value
• Order numbers
Addition and Subtraction (Facts to 10)
• More than/ less than
• Skip counting
• Break numbers apart
• Strategies for addition and subtraction
• Inverse relationship of addition and subtraction
Compare Numbers
• Small sets
• Greater than
• Less than
• Equal to
Measurement
• Calendar
• Days of week
• Months in a year
Here are some suggestions as to what you can do at home to help your child:
• Help your child count sets and compare them. Take a pocketful of
change and have them count how many pennies and how many dimes, nickels, or
quarters you have. Then have your child compare two sets of the coins
stating which set has the smallest or greatest amount.
• Ask your child what day of the week it is and what happens on that
day. Help them to identify which day of the week they have ball practice,
dance, or other events.
• Use cards that are numbered and have your child put the numbers in
order.
• Use playing cards or cards numbered 1-10. Shuffle the cards and
deal all of them out between two people. On the count of three each player
turns over a card the person with the highest card gets to keep both cards.
Here is a game that you can play with your child to help them learn addition
facts:
Materials: 10 pennies, beans, or other objects to use as counters.
Each player starts with 5 counters.
On the count of three, each player puts 1 to 5 counters on the table.
Ask your child how many counters there are in all. Then have them say the
sum.
Then help your child tell an addition story that describes what was just
done in the game. For example: “I put down 1 counter and you put down 3
counters, so 1 and 3 make 4 in all.”
Repeat several times.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hatcher | |
