Building Blocks of 1st Grade Math

How many ways can you make 10? In Building Blocks of 1st Grade Math, kids practice whatever their class is learning right now, from adding and subtracting within 20 to tens and ones, measurement, shapes and telling time, solving problems alongside a live instructor and answering questions as they go. Every class helps your child make basic facts a little more automatic, so there's more room to think about the new idea in front of them. For kids who are ready to move from counting on their fingers to seeing how numbers fit together!

Make the Basics Automatic When a student is still working hard on an earlier skill, like counting to 100 or adding and subtracting within 10, there's little attention left for the new idea that builds on it. We revisit those foundations until they're automatic, so students' brainpower goes where it's needed most.

Lock In This Year's Learning The school year moves fast, and students are often just on the cusp of getting a topic when the next unit begins. We circle back to key 1st grade concepts from earlier in the year, like adding and subtracting within 20 or understanding tens and ones, that later units depend on.

Tackle What's in Front of You Whatever unit your class is in right now, from addition and subtraction to measurement and shapes, students get guided practice and clear strategies for the kinds of problems they're seeing in school this month.

Preview What's Next Wouldn't we all love a sneak peek at our next challenge before the clock starts ticking and the points start counting? We preview upcoming concepts, like comparing two-digit numbers or telling time, so new topics feel familiar instead of intimidating.
