Course Description: CC.1.OA Operations and algebraic thinking ; CC 1.NBT Number and
operations in base 10; CC1.MD Measurements and data; CC1.G.1 Geometry
Classroom Instruction:Lessons will include interactive activities, learning games, worksheets,
assessments and reinforcement. The curriculum will rely on a variety of learning tools. It will
cover all the math strands of number sense and operations, algebra, geometry spatial sense,
measurement and data analysis.
Expectations and Rationales for Group Work/Group Projects/Centers/Differentiated
Grouping: Students arerequired to participate in all classroom assignments. Working with the
teacher, peers and classroom assistant is a pivotal part of the learning experience.
Independent center activities will be expected.
Daily Assignments : Class lessons will begin with whole group instruction. Class participation
is an essential component. Independent work ethics will be expected. Small group
assignments will be a part of the learning experience.
Student Assessments: The math curriculum is structured where each unit has daily work
mats. Daily reviews are administered to recap the previous day lesson. Each unit is
completed by giving a reteach for the unit taught. Once the unit is completed and reteaching
has been done, a unit test will be given.
Parent Involvement:Parents are required to assist students with daily math homework
assignments.
Textbook/Supplementary Resources:
Materials used are housed in the classroom. No textbooks for this grade level. Workbooks
are provided for student use.
Classroom Supplies: Each student is expected to bring sharpened pencils to class each day.
Pencils should be standard #2. Novelty pencils are not encouraged. This will eliminate

of improper behavior, students will be put on red and a parent will be called. No student has
the right to stop others from learning.
Assessments/Evaluations: Daily activities will be given and graded. Ten assignments will be
selected for posting in the grade book. Group assignments will be ten percent of the final
grade.
