Description
Core components of this program include a Teacher Edition and Student Edition, one for each semester. The full-color Teacher Editions include lesson plans, reduced student pages with answers, and instructions for using manipulatives. Full-color, consumable Student Editions include the core of the student learning including step-by-step instructions, examples, and practice pages. The Assessment Guide Teacher Edition provides review and tests for both semesters, as well as corresponding answers. The Homeschool Kit includes the Teacher and Student Editions (Volumes A and B), the Assessment Guide Teacher Edition, and Activity Cards. An optional Math Fact Fluency Book includes varied problems to build math fluency and conceptual understanding. A convenient Manipulative Kit includes most of the manipulatives needed to use with Math in Focus 2020 Grade 1 curriculum. We also offer an Add-On Kit for families who already own kindergarten manipulatives and need the additional items used in Grade 1.
The first-grade level covers numbers to 120, addition and subtraction up to 100 (with and without regrouping), shapes and patterns, money, graphs, calendar and time, and measurements. ~ Gina
