Grade 1. Students compare and order objects according to their attributes. They identify the appropriate measurement tool for a given situation, measure in standard and nonstandard units, and explore time, money, and temperature.
Materials used include thermometers, containers, balances, collections of objects, rulers, unit tiles, clocks, calendars, and money sets. Writing is an integral part of the lessons.
