IntroductionThe main topics during first grade are the concepts of addition and subtraction, addition and subtraction facts within 0-10, and place value till 100. Other topics studied are clock to the half hour, measuring length in inches and centimeters, shapes, and coins. When you use these books as your only or main mathematics curriculum, they can be like a "framework", but you still have a lot of liberty in planning your child's studies. While addition and subtraction topics are best studied in the order they are presented, feel free to go through the geometry, clock, and money sections in some different order. This might even be advisable if your child is "stuck" on some concept, or is getting bored. Sometimes the brain "chews the cud" in the background, and the concept she was stuck on can become clear after a break. This 1st grade curriculum aims to concentrate on a few major topics at a time, and study them in depth. This is thus totally opposite to the continually spiraling step-by-step curricula, in which each lesson typically is about a different topic from the previous or next lesson, and includes a lot of review problems from past topics. This does not mean that your child wouldn't need occasional review. However, when each major topic is presented in its own chapter, this gives you more freedom to plan the course of study and choose the review times yourself. The chapter on money (chapter 8) is included in four currencies: US, Canadian, British, and Euro money. You will automatically get all four versions when you buy the Grade 1 Complete Curriculum or the 1-B part. ManipulativesHere is a list of manipulatives that are needed or recommended for grade 1:
Reviews / testimonials concerning grade 1 curriculumHi, big thanks for making the Math Mammoth curriculum! After completing another curriculum and having my daughter not "get" addition, and having math time be akin to torture, she is LOVING Math Mammoth and begs to do more!!!!! Hi there, I have to say, I'm thrilled with the work books! When I pulled my girls out at the end of March, my 6yo couldn't remember any additions, it was all counting on her fingers, now while she still uses manipulatives, some she just remembers. Subtraction was such a foreign concept, it was instant tears. Now, she walks around the house chanting math sentences. She thinks it is FUN! We have been using Mathmammoth for three days so far and my daughter L-O-V-E-S it. We started with book 1A on page 10 or 11. She is in second grade this year. However, last school year her teacher neglected to teacher math AND neglected to tell me that my daughter could not add or subtract. Your math curriculum is truly a blessing from God. She has learned more using this program than she did when we used Saxon and Math-U-See. In addition, it is fun, easy to follow, and easy to teach. We had become so frustrated with math that I stopped teaching it altogether. Now, she is excited and ask when to work on math. THANK YOU!!!!! I just wanted to tell you how HAPPY I am with Math Mammoth! I have two kids who are doing the Light Blue Series 1-A and one child who is in 1-B. They LOVE it! I CANNOT believe how easy and thorough it is for only $30/year!!!! I'm so thankful that I happened to find you on the internet and decided to take a chance and buy the 1-A! If my kids don't quite grasp something it is so easy to just go back a few pages and re-print them. I also love the computer games that you have searched out for me and given the links to. So thank you, thank you, thank you!! All I can say is that I am SO happy we went with this program!! WOW!! We pulled my daughter out of school this year as we were not happy with how things were going for her. She should have been in the second grade. I was not happy with her math skills at all and when she took the math placement test it showed she needed back in first grade, with a 31%. She finished the first grade work today and took the final test and scored a 90%!! What a difference!!! She is so proud of herself!!! Math Mammoth review (Light Blue grade 1) from The Adventures of 3 Guys and A Doll blog TOS Crew: Math Mammoth by Mel Review of Math Mammoth Grade 1 Complete Curriculum from Learning As I Go... blog. I just wanted to tell you how HAPPY I am with Math Mammoth! I have two kids who are doing the Light Blue Series I-A and one child who is in I-B. They LOVE it! I CANNOT believe how easy and thorough it is for only $30/year!!!! I'm so thankful that I happened to find you on the internet and decided to take a chance and buy the 1-A!

So thank you, thank you, thank you!! Three weeks ago, I bought Math Mammoth for grades 1-2, and I've been evaluating it with my 8-year-old since then. I have been homeschooling for 19 years, and I must say this is one of the best elementary math programs I have seen yet. I have used many different curriculums before, and I find that Math Mammoth combines the best of several. It has the built-in review of Saxon, the uncluttered feel of Miquon, and the incremental, step-by-step skill building of Developmental Math. What I like most about it is that, unlike some other programs, the math facts memorization is built into the program. With every program I've used except Developmental Math, I have had to interrupt the study sequence to focus on memorization drill. Math Mammoth accomplishes this key skill with more clarity and ease of use than I've found in Developmental Math.
