What your child will practice
The workbook has 8 tip sheets, one for each big 1st grade topic. Every question on the daily pages shows the number of the tip sheet that explains it, so your child always knows where to look.
- Tip 1: Tens and onesA rod is 1 ten. A small cube is 1 one. To read a number, count the tens first, then the ones.
- Tip 2: Adding two-digit numbersAdd the ones to the ones and the tens to the tens. When the ones make 10 or more, make a new ten.
- Tip 3: Subtracting and missing numbersSubtraction is a missing addition. To find 13 − 5, ask: 5 plus what makes 13?
- Tip 4: Facts to 20Use what you know. Make a 10 and use doubles. Facts you know by heart make every other page easier.
- Tip 5: Comparing numbersTo compare two numbers, look at the tens first. If the tens are the same, look at the ones.
- Tip 6: Telling timeThe short hand shows the hour. When the long hand points to 12, it is o'clock. When it points to 6, it is half past.
- Tip 7: Shapes, measuring and graphsCount sides and corners to name shapes. Measure by lining up cubes with no gaps. Read a bar graph at the top of each bar.
- Tip 8: Solving word problemsRead the story with a grown-up. Is something being put together (add) or taken away (subtract)? Then write the number sentence.
