This semester long course covers the first half of first grade math. My classes are interactive and fun. I like to engage the children and we all problem solve together. I use props, a whiteboard, and fun animated PowerPoint slides during my lessons. I always encourage learner interaction and I check in occasionally with a thumb's up to make sure there are no questions before we proceed.

I have 3 different first grade classes listed for semester 1. They are all different formats (per requests from parents) but cover the exact same 10 lessons. You may choose which format works best for your learner. They are as follows:

Fun With First Grade Math: Semester 1 (Camp) - meets twice/week for 5 weeks
Fun With First Grade Math: Semester 1 - meets once/week for 10 weeks
Ongoing First Grade Math: Semester 1 - meets weekly and rotates through the 10 lessons (each lesson is standalone so you may join at any time)

The topics for this semester cover:

Week 1: Numbers to 50 (count, read, write)
Week 2: Understanding place value (ones, tens, bundles)
Week 3: Understanding the properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction
              (commutative property, associative property, identity property of zero)
Week 4: Math fact families (numbers to 10) - relationship between addition and subtraction
Week 5: Skip counting to 50 (by 2s, 5s, 10s)
Week 6: Addition/subtraction within 20 (objects, pictures, number line, counting on)
Week 7: Measurement and data (compare lengths, represent and interpret data)
Week 8: Time (analog and digital – hour, half hour)
Week 9: Money (coins - value, equivalent values)
Week 10: Geometry (2D shapes, compose new shapes, halves, quarters, whole)

I may send out a worksheet before class. This may include a homework sheet, or a chart/template for the learner to follow along in class. Each week there will be a worksheet that the learner can do at home for homework. It can be completed and uploaded to the classroom or sent to me via email. I may also suggest "extra practice". This work is not required but will give your learner some extra activities for home. We will start each lesson reviewing the homework from the prior week.
