Massachusetts 1st Grade Math Topics
Massachusetts 1st grade math covers a wide range of foundational skills. Students work on addition and subtraction within 20, develop an understanding of place value with tens and ones, learn to compare two-digit numbers, measure lengths, tell time, and explore two- and three-dimensional shapes. Every topic on StudyPug aligns to the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework.
Addition and Subtraction in 1st Grade
First graders in Massachusetts practice solving word problems using addition and subtraction within 20. They learn to add three whole numbers, apply properties of operations, and understand subtraction as finding an unknown addend. By the end of the year, students build fluency with facts within 10.
Place Value and Number Sense
Students learn that a two-digit number represents tens and ones. They count to 120, compare two-digit numbers using >, =, and < symbols, add within 100, and find 10 more or 10 less mentally. These skills prepare students for 2nd grade math in Massachusetts.
Measurement, Time, and Data
1st graders order objects by length, express lengths in whole number units, tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks, and organize data into up to three categories.
Geometry in 1st Grade
Students identify defining attributes of shapes, compose two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, and partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares — an early introduction to fractions.
