Grade 1

Introduction

In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and  (4) reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking 

Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.

Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Add and subtract within 20.

Work with addition and subtraction equations.

1.OA

Number and Operations in Base Ten

Extend the counting sequence.

Understand place value.

a. 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”

b. The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

c. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

1.NBT

Measurement and Data

Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.

Tell and write time.

Represent and interpret data.

1.MD

Geometry

Reason with shapes and their attributes.

1.G

[1] Students should apply the principle of transitivity of measurement to make indirect comparisons, but they need not use this technical term.

[2] Students need not use formal terms for these properties.

[3] Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”
