Number Ninjas (Level-1 Mathematics)

This is an introductory level to mathematics. We will learn how to write numbers, addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, and telling time. I will be using the Math-U-See Primer level curriculum and manipulatives in class. Students are required to purchase their own Primer student workbook and 1-inch binder and bring them both on the first day of class. Here is the link to purchase the student workbook: Primer Student Workbook - Demme Learning Store

Major concepts that I will be teaching in this class this spring:

➢ Counting objects and developing numeracy
➢ Understanding place value
➢ Recognizing number names and symbols
➢ Reading and writing numerals
➢ Understanding addition and subtraction
➢ Understanding and writing the symbols +, -, =
➢ Addition and subtraction of select numbers
➢ Telling and writing time by hours and minutes
➢ Recognizing and drawing rectangles, squares, and circles
➢ Measuring length by repeating units
➢ Introducing halves and fourths
➢ Counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, 100s.
➢ Reading, writing and interpreting word problems

Students will be given homework in this class. In order to get a better grasp on the concepts taught in class, practice is very important. Homework assignments will be in the form of practice worksheets related to concepts already taught in class.
