Everyday Literacy Math Grade 1

Introduce your first graders to standards-aligned math concepts such as measurement, fractions, and algebraic patterns, while developing important oral language skills.

Days 2, 3, and 4: Discuss the Day 1 story and concept, and practice or extend the concept through the days activity page. Day 5: Reinforce the weeks math concept with a fun hands-on math activity. Send home the HomeSchool connection activity page. Everyday Literacy: Math provides 20 weeks of math skills that are aligned to state standards and Common Core State Standards.
