About 1st Grade Massachusetts math

Massachusetts follows the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Mathematics, organized around operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, measurement and data, and geometry. In 1st grade, students develop fluency with addition and subtraction within 20, build place value understanding with two-digit numbers up to 120, measure lengths, tell time, and explore shapes. StudyPug provides step-by-step lessons and practice problems for every one of these topics.

How StudyPug Helps Massachusetts 1st Grade Math Students

When a student gets stuck on a problem, StudyPug lets them go back to the exact lesson they need. Each topic is covered with a focused video lesson followed by practice problems, so a child can watch the worked example and then try questions at their own pace. You can explore the full set of topics with a grade 1 math practice test to see which areas need more attention.

Parents looking for continuity can also check the MA kindergarten math curriculum to understand what skills carry forward into 1st grade work on place value and early addition.
