Grade 1 Mathematics: Building Foundations in Numeracy

The Grade 1 Mathematics course is designed to introduce young learners to the world of numbers and basic mathematical concepts. Following the Canadian curriculum standards, this course emphasizes the development of numeracy skills, including counting, simple addition and subtraction, recognizing patterns, and identifying shapes. Students will engage in hands-on activities and interactive lessons that make learning math fun and accessible.

Throughout the course, students will explore numbers up to 100, learn to perform basic operations, and understand the concept of place value. They will also investigate patterns and relationships in numbers, which are crucial for developing problem-solving skills. The course includes a variety of learning experiences, such as games, puzzles, and real-life scenarios, to help students apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

In addition to number sense, students will be introduced to geometric shapes and their properties. They will learn to identify, sort, and classify shapes, enhancing their spatial awareness and reasoning abilities. The course also incorporates measurement concepts, allowing students to compare and order objects based on length, weight, and capacity.

By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in basic mathematics, preparing them for more advanced topics in Grade 2. The skills acquired in this course will not only support their academic growth but also their everyday problem-solving abilities.
