Class Details:
***No live meetings for this class***
Class Fees are $10 or 100 points per semester.
The big ideas in grade 1 include: developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; developing understanding of whole-number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units; and reasoning about attributes of, and composing and decomposing geometric shapes.
The mathematical work for grade 1 is partitioned into 8 units:
Adding, Subtracting, and Working with Data
Addition and Subtraction Story Problems
Adding and Subtracting within 20
Numbers to 99
Adding within 100
Length Measurements within 120 units
Geometry and Time
Putting it All Together
Materials: dot cubes (dice), 10-frames, counters, inch tiles, colored pencils/crayons, Connecting cubes, base-ten blocks, geoblocks, solid shapes, pattern blocks, access to printer for lessons and extra pages linked in lessons
Students will turn in 8 required assessments per semester. These required assessments alternate between investigating grade level concepts by choosing an assignment from a choice board and turning in a curriculum check in. Each choice board provides both an online and a pencil and paper option. The curriculum check-ins will be graded based on progress in students' individual curriculum. This new aspect of the class will encourage students to make progress through the grade-level class.
Anchor classes are asynchronous, teacher-led classes. Students do NOT have a live meeting. Daily work is provided and the anchor teacher grades the final weekly assignment. Teachers provide biweekly videos and add instructional supports to each day's lesson. For more information about the curriculum and assignments, please see the information on the Braintree website.
