Michigan 1st Grade Math: What Students Learn

Michigan 1st grade math covers a wide range of foundational skills under the Michigan Mathematics Standards. Students develop fluency with addition and subtraction, explore place value in two-digit numbers, measure lengths, tell time, and identify shapes. These skills are essential for success in 2nd grade and beyond.

Addition and Subtraction Within 20

A major focus of Michigan 1st grade math is adding and subtracting within 20. Students solve word problems, add three whole numbers, and work toward fluency with facts within 10. They also learn to use properties of operations — like the commutative property — as strategies to make solving problems easier.

  • Solve word problems using addition and subtraction within 20
  • Add three whole numbers with sums up to 20
  • Apply properties of operations as strategies
  • Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem
  • Relate counting to addition and subtraction

Place Value and Two-Digit Numbers

Michigan 1st graders learn that two-digit numbers are made of tens and ones. They count to 120, compare two-digit numbers using >, =, and < symbols, and practice adding within 100. Mental math skills like finding 10 more or 10 less are introduced at this level.

  • Count to 120 starting at any number
  • Understand tens and ones in two-digit numbers
  • Compare two-digit numbers with >, =, and <
  • Add within 100 including two-digit and one-digit numbers
  • Mentally find 10 more or 10 less than a number
  • Subtract multiples of 10 from multiples of 10

Measurement and Data

Students in Michigan 1st grade begin measuring objects by ordering them by length and expressing lengths in whole number units. They also learn to tell time in hours and half-hours using both analog and digital clocks, and to organize data into up to three categories.

Geometry

1st grade geometry introduces students to defining and non-defining attributes of shapes. Students build and draw two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, compose shapes to make new ones, and partition circles and rectangles into equal shares.
