AB Grade 1 Math Curriculum
Give your child the support they need to keep up with Alberta's Grade 1 math curriculum. StudyPug covers every strand your child's class works through, from counting and number operations to shapes and data.
About Grade 1 Alberta math
Alberta's Grade 1 math follows the Alberta Programs of Study, organized around number sense, patterns, measurement, geometry, and data. Students work on counting to 100, addition and subtraction within 20, fractions (one-half), two- and three-dimensional shapes, length and capacity, repeating patterns and cycles, time, and concrete graphing. StudyPug provides step-by-step lessons and practice problems for every one of these strands, so your child always has somewhere to turn when classwork gets tricky.
- Strands covered: Number, Addition and Subtraction, Fractions, Geometry, Measurement, Patterns and Cycles, Time, and Data
- Step-by-step lessons and worked examples for every Grade 1 topic
- Practice problems with instant feedback aligned to the Alberta Programs of Study
- Learn at your own pace on any device, any time

- Addition and Subtraction: Composing and decomposing numbers between 10 and 20; modeling addition and subtraction within 20; exploring inverse operations.
- Fractions: Identifying one-half in familiar situations; partitioning sets and shapes into two equal groups or pieces.
- Geometry: Identifying and modeling two-dimensional shapes; sorting shapes by attribute; composing and decomposing composite shapes; investigating symmetry.
- Measurement: Comparing and ordering objects by length, area, or capacity; describing distance in everyday contexts.
- Patterns and Cycles: Identifying pattern cores up to four elements; finding missing elements; creating and extending repeating patterns; connecting cycles to First Nations, Metis, or Inuit practices.
- Time: Describing cycles of time in daily routines and nature; relating seasons to Indigenous practices; reading a calendar.
- Data: Gathering data by asking questions; constructing concrete graphs and pictographs from data collected in the classroom.
How StudyPug Helps AB Grade 1 Math Students
When your child gets stuck on a concept like skip counting or building addition strategies, they can find a focused lesson on that exact topic and work through practice problems at their own pace. Our grade 1 math help is organized so families can quickly jump to the strand their child is working on in class.
Looking to check what your child already knows? A grade 1 math practice test is a straightforward way to spot gaps before they become bigger problems. Each question links back to the relevant lesson, so follow-up review is simple.
Aligned to AB Grade 1 Math Curriculum
Every lesson and practice problem on StudyPug is built around the Alberta Programs of Study for Grade 1 math, covering the same strands and learning outcomes your child's teacher is working through in class. If your child is just starting out, you can also explore the AB kindergarten math curriculum to review any earlier concepts they may need to revisit.
