First Grade is Making Strides in Math

In the latest chapter of their math journey, first-grade students are diving into Unit 7 of the Reveal Math curriculum, a key section that brings fresh and exciting challenges. Unit 7 focuses on understanding the fundamentals of addition and subtraction within 20, helping students strengthen their fluency in basic math skills.

Throughout the unit, children are learning to apply strategies like counting on, making ten, and using number bonds to solve equations. The lessons are designed to foster a deeper understanding of math, encouraging students to think critically and solve problems independently.

“Unit 7 builds a strong foundation for mathematical reasoning,” says one teacher, Mr. Humphreys. “The interactive, hands-on activities help students connect real-world situations with mathematical concepts, making learning both fun and meaningful.”

As students’ progress through the unit, they will tackle word problems, build their number sense, and practice mental math strategies—all while strengthening their ability to work with numbers confidently. The focus on engaging visuals and interactive tools within the curriculum helps support diverse learning styles, ensuring every student’s success.

The unit also provides students with a chance to work collaboratively, strengthening their communication skills as they share ideas and solve problems together.

Unit 7 promises to be a pivotal moment in the first-grade math journey, setting the stage for continued growth in math proficiency throughout the school year.
