Math educator Kate Snow gives parents the tools they need to teach math with confidence. This scripted, open-and-go program leads parents and instructors step-by-step through teaching all the concepts first-graders need to master:

• counting, comparing, and writing numbers to 100
• addition and subtraction facts to 20
• addition and subtraction word problems
• beginning place-value and mental math
• shapes, money, time, and measurement.

Short, lively lessons will hold a child's attention by incorporating movement, games, and real-life situations. Straightforward, colorful worksheets give students practice with new concepts and review previously-learned material. Snow makes math fun by including optional enrichment lessons, with suggestions for wonderful math picture books to enjoy together and application activities to make math come alive.

Beyond just telling parents what to do, First Grade Math with Confidence also helps them understand why the lessons are designed the way they are, giving them the knowledge and confidence to help their children learn.

Using First Grade Math with Confidence will allow parents to build a strong math foundation for their children.
