Scott Foresman Reading Street © 2007 is an all-new reading program for
Grades PreK–6. Reading
Street is designed to help teachers build
readers through motivating and engaging literature, scientifically
research-based instruction, and a wealth of reliable teaching tools. The
program takes the guesswork out of differentiating instruction with a
strong emphasis on ongoing progress-monitoring and an explicit plan to
help with managing small groups of students. In addition, Reading Street
prioritizes skill instruction at each grade level, so teachers can be
assured they will focus on the right skill, at the right time, and for
every student.

Mathematics
|
Throughout mathematics in Grade
1, students build a foundation of basic understandings in number,
operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and
algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; measurement; and
probability and statistics. Within a well-balanced mathematics
curriculum, the primary focal points at Grade 1 are adding and subtracting
whole numbers and organizing and analyzing data. Students use numbers in
ordering whole numbers (through 99), labeling, and expressing quantities
and relationships to solve problems and translate informal language into
mathematical symbols (>, <, =) using sets of concrete objects.
Students use patterns to describe objects, express relationships, make
predictions, and solve problems as they build an understanding of number,
operation, shape, and space. They learn to model and create addition and
subtraction problem situations using concrete models (sums to 18) as well
as use informal language and observation of geometric properties to
describe shapes, solids, and locations in the physical world. They also
begin to develop measurement concepts as they identify and compare
attributes of objects and situations. Students collect, organize, and
display data and use information from graphs to answer questions, make
summary statements, and make informal predictions based on their
experiences.
Problem solving, language and communication, connections within and
outside mathematics, and formal and informal reasoning underlie all
content areas in mathematics. Throughout mathematics in Grade 1, students
use these processes, together with technology and other mathematical
tools, such as manipulative materials, to develop conceptual
understanding and solve problems as they do mathematics.
