Name Date Unit 1: Family Letter Introduction toFirst Grade Everyday Mathematics Welcome to First Grade Everyday Mathematics.It is part of an elementary school mathematics curriculum developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP). Everyday Mathematicsoffers children a broad background in mathematics. Several features of the program are described below to help familiarize you with Everyday Mathematics. A problem-solving approach based on everyday situationsBy making connections between their own knowledge and experiences, children learn basic skills in meaningful contexts so that mathematics becomes “real.” A variety of formats for frequent practice of basic skillsInstead of practice presented only in a tedious drill format, children practice basic skills in a variety of engaging ways. In addition to completing daily mixed practice pages, finding patterns on the number grid, and working with addition and subtraction fact families, children will play games designed to develop basic skills. An instructional approach that revisits concepts regularlyTo enhance the development of basic skills and concepts, children revisit previously learned concepts and practice skills encountered earlier. The lessons take advantage of previously learned concepts and skills and build on them throughout the year. A curriculum that explores mathematical content beyond basic arithmeticMathematics standards in the United States, as well as around the world, indicate that basic arithmetic skills are only the beginning of the mathematical knowledge children will need. In addition to basic arithmetic, First Grade Everyday Mathematicsemphasizes the topics discussed on the following page. 2 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill HOME LINK 11

 Number and NumerationCounting; reading and writing numbers; investigating place value of whole numbers; exploring fractions and money  Operations and ComputationLearning addition and subtraction facts, fact families, and extended facts; beginning informal work with properties of numbers and problem solving  Data and ChanceCollecting, organizing, and displaying data using tables, charts, and graphs  Measurement and Reference FramesUsing tools to measure length, capacity (quarts, liters), and weight; using clocks, calendars, timelines, thermometers, and ordinal numbers such as fifth and tenth  GeometryExploring 2-dimensional shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles) and 3-dimensional shapes (pyramids, cones, prisms)  Patterns, Functions, and AlgebraExploring attributes, patterns, sequences, relations, and functions; finding missing numbers and rules in problems; studying properties of operations (addition and subtraction) Everyday Mathematicswill provide you with ample opportunities to monitor your child’s progress and to participate in your child’s mathematics experiences. Throughout the year, you will receive Family Letters to keep you informed of the mathematical content your child will be studying in each unit. You will enjoy seeing your child’s confidence and comprehension soar as he or she connects mathematics to everyday life. We look forward to an exciting year!

Name Date Unit 1: Family Letter Unit 1: Establishing Routines One purpose of this first unit is to help children become comfortable with a cooperative-learning environment in which they work together to build mathematical concepts. Another purpose is to introduce and establish routines that will be used this year and in the grades to come. This unit also reviews various mathematical concepts introduced in Kindergarten. In Unit 1, children will review counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s. They will have opportunities to count and record numbers of various objects, such as hands, fingers, eyes, and ears. In addition, they will use pennies to count money, practice writing numbers, and begin to use a thermometer. Vocabulary Important terms in Unit 1: Home LinkA suggested follow-up or enrichment activity to be done at home. Each Home Link activity is identified by the following symbol: tally A mark used in a count. Tallies let children represent numbers they can count and say, but cannot yet write. ////\ ///is the tally count for the number 8. temperature How hot or cold something is relative to another object or as measured on a standardized scale such as degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. tool kitA bag or box containing a calculator, measuring tools, and manipulatives often used by children in Everyday Mathematics. 6 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill HOME LINK 12 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 210 200 190 180 170 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 °C °F

Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill 7 Do-Anytime Activities To work with your child on concepts taught in this unit, try these interesting and rewarding activities: 1.Count orally by 2s, 5s, and 10s when doing chores or riding in the car. Occasionally count down, or back; for example: 90, 80, 70, 60, .... 2.Take inventories around the house and while shopping. Have your child keep track of each count using tally marks. For example, count food items and nonfood items bought at the grocery store: ////\ ////\ ////\ / ////\ // food items nonfood items 3.Listen to and discuss weather reports with your child. As You Help Your Child with Homework As your child brings home assignments, you may want to go over the instructions together clarifying them as necessary.

Your child will bring home assignments called “Home Links.” The assignments will not take much time to complete, but most of them involve interaction with an adult or an older child. There are good reasons for including Home Links in the first-grade program:  The assignments encourage children to take initiative and responsibility. As you respond with encouragement and assistance, you help your child build independence and self-confidence.  Home Links reinforce newly learned skills and concepts. They provide thinking and practice time at each child’s own pace.  These assignments relate the mathematics your child is learning to the real world, which is very important in the Everyday Mathematicsprogram.  Home Links will give you a better idea of what mathematics your child is learning. Listen and respond to your child’s comments about mathematics. Point out ways in which you use numbers (time, TV channels, page numbers, telephone numbers, bus routes, shopping lists, and so on). Everyday Mathematicssupports the belief that children who have someone do math with them, learn math. Fun counting and thinking games that you and your child play together are very helpful for such learning. For this first Home Link,your child might look for a newspaper ad for grocery items, a calendar page, or a picture of a clock. The purpose of this activity is to expand your child’s awareness of numbers in the world. Please return this Home Link to school tomorrow.

For example, in problems involving counts of children in the class, the unit box would be as shown on the right. analog clockA clock that shows the time by the positions of the hour and minute hands. digital clockA clock that shows the time with numbers of hours and minutes, usually separated by a colon. Name Date Unit 2: Family Letter Everyday Uses of Numbers In Unit 2, children will learn about three specific uses of numbers in real-world contexts: the use of numbers in telephone numbers, in telling time, and in counting money. Your child will learn how to interpret the various parts of a telephone number, how to tell time on the hour, and how to count collections of nickels and pennies. When learning to tell time, your child will estimate the time on a clock that has no minute hand, only an hour hand. For example, when the hour hand is pointing exactly to the 4, we can say that the time isabout 4 o’clock.When the hour hand is between the 4 and the 5, we can say that the time isafter 4 o’clockor between 4 and 5 o’clock. By focusing on the hour hand, children will avoid the common mistake of giving the wrong hour reading (usually one hour off). about 4 o’clock between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock When learning to count money, it is preferred that your child use real coins. In Unit 2, the focus will be on counting nickels and pennies and on exchanging pennies for nickels. (In Unit 3, children will add dimes to their coin collections. Later, they will add quarters.) Your child will also continue to develop counting skills with the help of a number grid, begin to do simple addition and subtraction problems, and continue to solve number stories. Please keep this letter for reference as your child works through Unit 2. 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 91011 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 91011 16 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill HOME LINK 114 Unit children 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 91011

Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill 17 Unit 2: Family Letter cont. HOME LINK 114 Building Skills through Games In Unit 2, your child will practice numeration and money skills by playing the following games: Rolling for 50 Players roll a die to navigate their way on the number grid. The first player to reach FINISH wins the game! Top-It Each player turns over a card from the deck. Whoever has the higher number card keeps both cards. The winner is the one with more cards when the whole deck has been turned over. Penny Plate Starting with a plate and a specified number of pennies, one player turns the plate upside down, hiding some of the pennies. The other player counts the visible pennies and guesses how many pennies are hidden under the plate. Penny-Nickel Exchange Partners put 20 pennies and 10 nickels in a pile. Each player rolls a die and collects the number of pennies shown on the die. Whenever players have at least 5 pennies, they say “Exchange!” and trade their pennies for a nickel. The game ends when there are no more nickels left. The player with more nickels wins. High Roller Players roll two dice and keep the die with the greater number (the “high roller”). Players roll the other die again and count on from the “high roller” to get the sum of the two dice. high roller 5, 6, 7 The sum is 7. Do-Anytime Activities To work with your child on the concepts taught in this unit and in Unit 2, try these interesting and rewarding activities: 1.Point out common uses of numbers, such as the numbers on clocks, phones, and in house addresses. 2.Help your child estimate the time using only the hour hand on an analog clock. 3.Help your child practice saying the telephone numbers of relatives and friends. 4.Count various sets of nickels and pennies together. Have fun with these and all other mathematics activities!
