In Everyday Mathematics, children develop a broad background by learning concepts and skills in all these six content strands. The first-grade program emphasizes the following content:
Number and Numeration
Counting; reading and writing numbers; investigating place value of whole numbers; exploring fractions and money
Operations and Computation
Learning addition and subtraction facts, fact families, and extended facts; beginning informal work with properties of numbers and problem solving
Data and Chance
Collecting, organizing, and displaying data using tables, charts, and graphs
Measurement and Reference Frames
Using tools to measure length, capacity (quarts, liters), and weight; using clocks, calendars, timelines, thermometers, and ordinal numbers such as fifth and tenth
Geometry
Exploring 2-dimensional shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles) and 3-dimensional shapes (pyramids, cones, prisms)
Patterns, Functions, and Algebra
Exploring attributes, patterns, sequences, relations, and functions; finding missing numbers and rules in problems; studying properties of operations (addition and subtraction)
