When it comes to teaching first-grade students the common core standards of mathematics, theres no better way to practice than with worksheets geared toward repeatedly applying the same basic concepts such as counting, adding and subtracting without carrying, word problems, telling time, and calculating currency.As young mathematicians progress through their early education, they will be expected to demonstrate comprehension of these basic skills, so its important for teachers to be able to gauge their students aptitudes in the subject by administering quizzes, working one on one with each student, and by sending them home with worksheets like the ones below to practice on their own or with their parent.However, in some cases, students may require additional attention or explanation beyond what worksheets alone can offer—for this reason, teachers should also prepare demonstrations in class to help guide students through the coursework.When working with first-grade students, its important to start from where they understand and work your way up, ensuring that each students masters each concept individually before moving on to the next topic. Click on the links in the rest of the article to discover worksheets for each of the topics addressed. One of the first things first graders have to master is the concept of counting to 20, which will help them quickly count beyond those basic numbers and begin to understand the 100s and 1000s by the time they reach the second grade. Assigning worksheets like Order the Numbers to 50 will help teachers assess whether or not a student fully grasps the number line.Additionally, students will be expected to recognize number patterns and should practice their skills in counting by 2s, counting by 5s, and counting by 10s and identifying whether a number is greater than or less than to 20, and be able to parse out mathematical equations from word problems like these, which may include ordinal numbers up to 10In terms of practical math skills, the first grade is also an important time to ensure students understand how to tell time on a clock face and how to count U.S. coins up to 50 cents. These skills will be essential as students begin to apply two-digit addition and subtraction in the second grade. First-grade math students will be introduced to basic addition and subtraction, oftentimes in the form of word problems, over the course of the year, meaning they will be expected to add up to 20 and subtract numbers below fifteen, both of which wont require the students to re-group or carry the one.These concepts are easiest understood through tactile demonstration such as number blocks or tiles or through illustration or example such as showing the class a pile of 15 bananas and taking away four of them, then asking the students to calculate then count the remaining bananas. This simple display of subtraction will help guide students through the process of early arithmetic, which can be additionally aided by these subtraction facts to 10.Students will also be expected to demonstrate a comprehension of addition, through completing word problems that feature addition sentences up to 10, and worksheets like Adding to 10, Adding to 15, and Adding to 20 will help teachers gauge students comprehension of the basics of simple addition. First-grade teachers may also introduce their students to a base-level knowledge of fractions, geometric shapes, and mathematical patterns, though none of them are required course material until the second and third grades.

It is also important to focus on thinking concepts. For instance, think about this word problem: A man has 10 balloons and the wind blew 4 away. How many are left?Heres another way to ask the question: A man was holding some balloons and the wind blew 4 away. He only has 6 balloons left, how many did he start with? Too often we ask questions where the unknown is at the end of the question, but the unknown can also be put at the beginning of the question.Explore more concepts in these extra worksheets:Hoping to help your seventh-grader with math skills? Here are some basic tips that experts suggest.Think through new material togetherAs their assignments become more complicated, you might start to feel that your childs math homework is outpacing your comfort level. Continue to review math materials with their before class and to supervise their homework, regardless of your confidence in your own skills. Instead of trying to explain new concepts, have them explain themselves to you. If you are both confused, read the material and do your best to think it through and discuss it together. Go online to sites like Khan Academy, IXL, or XtraMath for extra assistance.Highlight career options that require mathMastering the math theyre studying now will mean more options in the future for college major and career choices, so encourage them to enjoy the challenge of math. Help them become aware of the range of career paths and disciplines that incorporate math, such as engineering or economics or weather forecasting. One way to do this is by watching movies that highlight math and help your child understand how math can be put to use in the real world, such as Apollo 13 or Jurassic Park.Encourage persistenceSuccess in math has a lot to do with taking the time to understand a problem, thinking about different ways of solving it, and persevering if initial attempts to solve it fail. Encourage your seventh-grader to stick it out with math that they find challenging and to seek help if your child needs it.Foster effective study strategiesHelp your seventh-grader learn how to study effectively for math tests. This means working through problems, not just reading through them or skimming the review sheet. The more problems they practice, the more they will internalize the various components. This increases speed and understanding so your child can be better prepared to adjust the steps when required.Encourage savvy spendingShopping continues to be one of the best opportunities for your child to practice the math concepts they are learning. They can practice percentages and subtraction by calculating the exact amount youll save when something goes on sale and the final cost of discounted items. Have their help you calculate the tip when you eat in a restaurant. If they have a cell phone, familiarize them with the details of the cell phone bill and how much the charge is per text or per minute of usage, so that they can learn to keep track of how much they are spending.Discuss the newsAs you watch the news together keep track of how often statistics are cited. Discuss the details of any polls that are mentioned. Talk about how these concepts are being used and the points they are being used to support or refute.Calculate the oddsIf your school is holding a raffle, discuss the details with your child. Have them find out how many tickets will be sold and how many prizes will be awarded. Then have them determine your probability of winning if you buy a ticket -- or 10 or 20.Do home improvement projects togetherInvolve your seventh-grader in big projects at home. Theyre building math skills that can be put to practical use, and by having them help out you reinforce what theyre learning. If youre wallpapering or carpeting, for example, have them calculate wall or floor areas and figure out the total cost of various materials.Encourage math appreciation through sportsSports provide an engaging way of exploring a host of mathematical concepts. Any hard-core baseball fan knows that the game cant truly be appreciated without an understanding of some essential statistics, like a players batting average and runs batted in. Football is also full of statistics, such as the percentage of passes a quarterback completed. If your child is passionate about a sport, encourage them to explore it through math.Play gamesPlay family games that help foster math skills. These include card games like Go Fish, which requires counting and sorting cards into sets, or board games like Monopoly.To find out what your seventh-grader will be learning in math class, check out our seventh grade math skills page.Parent Toolkit resources were developed by NBC News Learn with the help of subject-matter experts, including Joyce Epstein, Director, Center on School, Family and Community Partnerships, Johns Hopkins University; Pamela Mason, Program DirectorLecturer on Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education; and Denise Walston, Director of Mathematics, Council of the Great City Schools, and align with the Common Core State Standards.
