If students continue with this class throughout the year, they will be introduced to all of the first-grade math standards.  By the end of this class student should be able to add and subtract numbers up to 20, complete patterns, tell time to the hour and half hour, count pennies, nickels, and dimes up to $1.00, understand math word problems, interpret and create graphs, measure the length of objects, identify 2D and 3D shapes, and write their numbers up to 120. 

I currently hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education (K-6).  I taught 1st grade for the past five years in the public school setting and 5th grade for two years before that!
