This is the math program for elementary school for the first trimester for kindergarten through fifth grade.

Kindergarten, Trimester 1 Math

At school, students will:

- Count to 10 by ones.

- Count up to 10 objects that have been arranged in a line, circle, or equal rows.

- Compare two groups of objects and determine if the number of objects in one group is greater than, is less than, or is equal to the other.

At home, you can:

- Practice counting to 25 by ones.

- Count objects around the house or at the store.

- Use "is greater than," "is less than" or "is equal to" when comparing groups of items.

First Grade, Trimester 1 Math

- Add and subtract up to 5, using objects, drawings, and equations.

- Solve word problems that require additions of two whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 10.

- Understand the meaning of the equal (=) sign.

Determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false.

- Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers (e.g., 3+__+7=14

At home, you can:

- Practice adding and subtracting within 20.

- Give your child addition and or subtracting sentences with three numbers to solve (e.g., 3+9+6=; 16-5+7=.

- Discuss what the equal (=) sign means.

Second Grade, Trimester 1 Math

At school, students will:

- Mentally add and subtract within 20.

Use addition and subtraction up to 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems.

- Determine whether a group of objects up to 20 has an odd or even amount by pairing objects or counting by twos.

- Recognize and draw shapes having specific attributes, such as the number of angles or a given number of equal faces.

- Divide circles and rectangles into two, three, or four.

At home, you can:

- Give your child addition and subtraction problems to do in his/her head.

- Create word problems and have your child use addition and subtraction to solve them.

- Practice determining whether a group of objects is odd or even.

Third Grade, Trimester 1 Math

At school, students wlll:

- Add and subtract two- and three-digit numbers with and without regrouping.

- lmmediately recall multiplication facts (products up to 81).

- Determine the unknown number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers (e.g., 3x__=24; 72/__=9).

- Use multiplication and division up to 100 to solve word problems.

- Create and solve two-step addition and subtraction

At home, you can:

- Practice adding and subtracting two- and three-digit numbers.

- Practice multiplication facts with products up to 81.

- Practice solving two-step addition and subtraction problems.

Fourth Grade, Trimester 1 Math

At school, students will:

- lmmediately recall and use multiplication and division facts.

- Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule.

- Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplication comparison (e.g., use drawings and equations with a symbol for an unknown number to represent the problem).

- Solve multiplication world problems using all four operations.

At home, you can:

- Practice multiplication and division facts with flash cards.

- Encourage your child to use both drawings and equations when solving problems.

- Encourage your child to find patterns in his/her environment.

Fifth Grade, Trimester 1 Math

At school, students will:

- Recognize the value of the base 10 system.

- Read and write decimals in standard, expanded, and word form. As well as, comparing and ordering decimals.

- Apply rounding and estimation to various real-world situations.

- Solve equations with whole numbers using traditional and alternative strategies.

- Use parenthesis, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions.

At home, you can:

- Ask your child to estimate how much money will be spent before going to the market, then check prices and add mentally.

- Ask your child to relate money to the base 10 system. Then ask your child to connect how decimals are related to money.

- Practice solving equations that include parenthesis brackets, and/or braces.
