SOM - In-Person - Grade 1 - Campus Name

The Grade 1 curriculum lays the early-years foundation in mathematics with weekly 1.5-hour fast-paced classes. By the end of Grade 1, students gain a solid conceptual understanding in addition, multiplication, division, as well as integers. Through drills, they develop automaticity and fluency with their basic number facts, and they use this within the numeracy unit to build their skills with numbers. Grade one students learn how to work with numbers and their operations, to represent fractions, add fractions, and find equivalent fractions with and without manipulatives. Students at this grade do a research project on famous mathematicians and their mathematical ideas such as Pascal triangle, Venn diagrams and others. Students also learn skip counting, the Cartesian coordinate system, data analysis, exponents, and more. Grade 1 students write tests throughout the year, as well as the Spirit of Math International Contest during class time, with an exam at the end of the year. The overall curriculum engages our Grade 1 students and instills in them a strong interest in mathematics.
