  2. Curriculum

  3. Methodology • Spiral curriculum • Topics are introduced and revisited later • Beginning, developing and secure skills

  4. Whole Number Concepts • Numbers through 100 (22 is benchmark) (read, count forward and backwards, write, order, pattern) • Skip counting (2’s, 5’s, 10’s) • Number patterns using grids and tools (function machines, frames and arrows)

  5. Whole Number Concepts, cont. • Odd and Even • Ordinals • Greater than/less than • Understand place value for tens and ones and hundreds

  6. Number Operations/Mental Math • Basic addition and subtraction • horizontally • vertically • add/subtract with zero • adding three numbers • using doubles (i.e. 4+4=8 or 10-5=5) • missing addend • Add/subtract two-digit numbers using tools

  7. Estimation and Data • Identify purpose of estimation • Estimate quantities • Collect and organize data • Pictorial, real object, and bar graphs • Record outcomes using tallies • Interpret data on graphs • More than and less than comparisons • Make predictions

  8. Plane shapes circles triangles squares rectangles Solids cubes spheres cylinders cones prisms Classify by attributes Symmetry Geometry

  9. Fraction Concepts • Identify and show basic fractions • Fair shares • Compare fractional parts • Equivalent fractions

  10. Measurement • Non-standard and standard units • non-standard units of measure: cubes, links, crayons, paper clips, everyday materials • standard units of measure: • length: inches, centimeters, feet • temperature: Fahrenheit, Celsius • Rounding measurements • Using a thermometer

  11. Time and Money • Time • Calendar • Tell time to the nearest half hour and quarter hour • Money • Identify coins and their value: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters • Show and count values using coins • Exchanging coins

  12. Cross-Content Math Skills • Problem solving • Using reasoning skills • Real world applications of math skills • Story problems • Reading and writing in mathematics • Communicating with mathematics • Connecting math to other content areas • language arts (writing, “journaling”, literature connections) • science (organisms, air and weather, sunshine and shadows)

  13. Instruction “Nothing is in the mind that is not first in the hand.” - John Dewey

  14. Instruction • Concrete to abstract • Hands-on • Manipulatives • types • appropriate use • Mathematical games • Understanding and utilization of the facts

  15. Effective instruction is a combination of: whole group activities small homogeneous and heterogeneous group activities individual activities cooperative group discoveries and applications Meeting individual needs: remediation practice enrichment Meeting the Needs of All: Differentiating Instruction A successful partnership between students, teachers, and parents makes the process work.

  16. Computation and Problem Solving We believe that students should be comfortable and proficient with multiple methods of computation and problem solving including: • use of various manipulatives • basic computation • mental computation • estimation • use of a calculator

  17. Math Journal Manipulatives Toolkits Math Messages Other resources Software Millie’s Math House Money Town Math Blaster Numbers Undercover Kid Pix Mighty Math Zoo Zillions OHES site links Materials and Resources

  18. Homework • Rule of Thumb: • 15 Minutes (all subjects combined) per night in first grade • Add 10 minutes per grade level • Linking math to your child’s world • See newsletter for activities to do with your children

  19. Communication • Newsletter and Family letters • Back to School Night • Initiate communication with teacher - send a note, phone call, email directory (www.mtsd.k12.nj.us) • Teacher initiated communication • Conferences

  20. Questions?

  21. Thank you, good night, and see you next year
