What math looks like in 1st grade

First grade math takes the counting from Kindergarten and turns it into arithmetic. Addition and subtraction within 20 become fluent, place value starts making tens visible, and measurement moves to real units.

First grade converts recognition into fluency. Children who could identify letters now decode, and children who could count now add. Expect a wide spread in one room.
