Curriculum Framework

1st Grade · Math · TEKS

4 lessons

Recognizing Individual U.S. Coins

Identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters by their distinctive physical features such as color, size, and pictures.

8 lessons

Identifying and Sorting Mixed Coins

Distinguish between pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters when presented together, and sort them by type and physical properties.

8 lessons

Understanding Coin Value Relationships

Understand equivalencies among coins (e.g., 5 pennies = 1 nickel) and compare and order coins by value.

7 lessons

Writing Individual Coin Values with the Cent Symbol

Learn what the cent symbol (¢) means and write the value of each individual coin (penny, nickel, dime, quarter) using that symbol.

5 lessons

Working with Cent Values in Context

Apply knowledge of the cent symbol to write totals for coin groups, read and compare prices, and explain the meaning of the ¢ symbol.

8 lessons

Skip-Counting Forward by Twos, Fives, and Tens

Build foundational skip-counting fluency by counting forward by twos, fives, and tens from zero and from any starting number.

6 lessons

Modeling Skip-Counting With Tools and Objects

Use hundred charts, number lines, and grouped objects to visualize and practice skip-counting by twos, fives, and tens.

8 lessons

Skip-Counting Backwards, Patterns, and Fluency

Count backwards by twos, fives, and tens, identify digit patterns, and build mixed skip-counting fluency for real-world use.

4 lessons

Skip-Counting Single Coin Types

Use skip-counting to find the total value of a group of the same coin type (pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters).

6 lessons

Skip-Counting Mixed Coin Collections

Use skip-counting to find the total value of collections containing two or more different coin types.

5 lessons

Strategies for Counting Coins

Apply strategies such as ordering coins by value, using a hundred chart, counting on, and tracking a running total to count coin collections efficiently and accurately.

9 lessons

Representing and Applying Coin Values

Write total coin values using the cent symbol, build and compare coin combinations for target amounts, estimate coin collections, and explain counting strategies.

7 lessons

Money Word Problem Foundations

Build general word problem-solving skills and apply them to basic money problems involving single and multiple purchases.

5 lessons

Strategies for Solving Money Problems

Develop and evaluate multiple strategies — drawings, equations, and mental math — for solving money word problems, and learn to communicate solutions clearly.

6 lessons

Money Problems in Everyday Contexts

Apply money problem-solving skills across diverse real-world settings including stores, homes, and school, and connect coin-counting to daily life.

4 lessons

Advanced Money Problem Solving

Solve multi-step money problems using addition and subtraction, and find efficient coin combinations for given amounts.

7 lessons

Introducing Equal Groups and Repeated Addition

Build a conceptual understanding of equal groups and connect them to repeated addition sentences.

6 lessons

Applying Equal Groups in Problems

Use drawings, objects, and skip-counting to solve story problems involving equal groups in real-world contexts.

8 lessons

Equal Groups with Twos, Fives, and Tens

Create, count, and compare equal groups of specific sizes (2, 5, 10) and solve repeated addition problems with those group sizes.

7 lessons

Representing Two-Digit Numbers with Base-Ten Blocks

Use base-ten blocks to represent, identify, and build two-digit numbers by understanding the value of tens and ones.

4 lessons

Grouping and Trading Ones and Tens

Group loose objects into tens, count efficiently using groups of ten, and understand that ten ones can be traded for one ten.

7 lessons

Number Patterns on a Hundred Chart

Identify and describe visual and digit patterns on a hundred chart, including skip-counting patterns, even and odd numbers, and missing numbers.

4 lessons

Two-Digit Number Fluency with Blocks and Charts

Build and decompose two-digit numbers with base-ten blocks and count forward and backward on a hundred chart to strengthen number fluency.
