Introduction
The focus of First-Grade Math Minutes is math fluency—teaching students to
solve problems effortlessly and rapidly. The problems in this book provide
students with practice in key areas of first-grade math instruction, including
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
counting
basic addition and subtraction facts
money
graphing
patterning
place value
measurement
fractions
time
calendar
flat and solid shapes
First-Grade Math Minutes features 100 “Minutes.” Each Minute consists of ten
classroom-tested problems for students to try to complete in one minute.
Most of the problems in each Minute are grouped in pairs or clusters to give
students adequate practice with each new skill. Because each Minute includes
questions of varying degrees of difficulty, the amount of time students need to
complete each Minute will vary at first.
Use this comprehensive resource to improve your students’ overall math
fluency, which will promote greater self-confidence in their math skills as well
as provide the everyday practice necessary to succeed in a testing situation.
With practice, students will improve their own fluency in a manageable,
nonthreatening format. The quick format combined with instant feedback
makes this a challenging and motivational assignment students will look
forward to each day. Students become active learners as they discover
mathematical relationships and apply acquired understanding to the
solution of grade-appropriate problems in each Minute.

How to Use This Book
First-Grade Math Minutes is designed to be implemented in numerical order. Students
who need the most support will find the order of skills as introduced most helpful
in building and retaining confidence and success. For example, the first time basic
subtraction facts are introduced, number lines for counting back are provided.
Eventually, students are asked to compute subtraction facts without the support of a
number line.
The Minutes can be used in a variety of ways.
•
•
•
•
•
Use a Minute once for teaching or reviewing a concept and a second time for
students to complete on their own within a given a time limit.
Call out time by the minute as students work on the problems, and have
students write on their paper the time called when they finish the Minute.
Work on a Minute together as a whole-class activity.
Have students work on a Minute in sections, and establish a time limit based on
the type of problems.
Use a Minute a day for warm-up activities, bell-work, review, assessment, or
homework.
Keep in mind that students will get the most benefit from their daily Minute if
they receive immediate feedback. If you assign the Minute as homework, correct it
in class at the beginning of the day. If you use a Minute as a timed activity, place
the paper facedown on the students’ desks, or display it as a transparency. Use a
clock or kitchen timer to measure one minute. Encourage students to concentrate
on completing each problem successfully and not to dwell on problems they cannot
complete. At the end of the minute, have students stop working. Then, read the
answers from the answer key (pages 108–112), or display them on a transparency.
Have students correct their own work and record their score on the Minute Journal
reproducible (page 6). Then, have the class go over each problem together to discuss
the solution. Spend more time on problems that were clearly challenging for most
of the class. Tell students that difficult problems will appear on future Minutes and
that they will have other opportunities for success.

Initially, most first graders will need longer than a minute to complete a page.
To assist those students who have difficulties in math, provide multiple choice or
true/false answers for long calculation problems. Also, teach students strategies
for improving their scores, especially if you time their work on each Minute. Tell
students to
•
•
•
•
•
move quickly down the page and answer any problems they know
work on the more difficult problems as time permits
come back to problems they are unsure of after they have completed all
other problems
make educated guesses when they encounter problems they are not
familiar with
rewrite word problems as number problems
The Minutes are designed to improve math fluency and should not be included
as part of a student’s overall math grade. However, the Minutes provide an
excellent opportunity for you to see which skills the class as a whole needs to
practice or review. This knowledge will help you plan the content of future math
lessons. A class that consistently has difficulty with counting money, for example,
may make excellent use of your lesson in that area, especially if they know they
will have other opportunities to achieve success in this area on future Minutes.
Have students file their Math Journal and Minutes for that week in a location
accessible to you both. Class discussions of the problems will help you identify
which math skills to review. However, you may find it useful to review the
Minutes on a weekly basis before sending them home with students at the end
of the week.
While you will not include student Minute scores in your formal grading, you
may wish to recognize improvements by awarding additional privileges or
offering a reward if the entire class scores above a certain level for a week or
more. Showing students that you recognize their efforts provides additional
motivation to succeed!
