Math Activities and Teaching Resources for 1st Grade
First graders can do way more than just count by the end of the year, they can add and subtract in their heads, put two triangles together to make a square, and even tell you (give or take an hour) what time it is.
First grade math standards throughout the country build on early number sense work, addition and subtraction with small numbers, place value understanding, simple measurement and time, and spatial reasoning, to lay a strong foundation for more complex work in years to come.
Enjoy this sampling of instructional videos, games, number sense, and fluency activities for your 1st grade classroom!
