1st Grade Math Topics in Connecticut
Connecticut 1st grade math covers a wide range of foundational skills that students need to succeed in later grades. The Connecticut Core Standards Math outline exactly what students are expected to learn, from basic addition and subtraction to early geometry and data interpretation.
Addition and Subtraction Within 20
First graders in Connecticut learn to add and subtract within 20, including solving word problems and working with three whole numbers at once. Students also learn key properties of operations and how to use addition to solve subtraction problems. These skills build fluency that students carry into every future math course.
Place Value and Two-Digit Numbers
Understanding that a two-digit number is made up of tens and ones is a major milestone in 1st grade. Connecticut students learn to count to 120, compare two-digit numbers using the symbols >, =, and <, and mentally find 10 more or 10 less than any two-digit number. They also practice adding within 100 and subtracting multiples of 10.
Measurement and Time
1st graders learn to order objects by length, measure using whole number units, and tell time in hours and half-hours on both analog and digital clocks. These practical skills connect math to everyday life and prepare students for more detailed measurement work in 2nd grade.
Geometry and Data
Connecticut 1st grade math introduces students to defining attributes of 2D and 3D shapes, composing shapes to make new shapes, and partitioning circles and rectangles into equal shares. Students also learn to organize and interpret data sorted into up to three categories.
