learning goals

Math

• The First-grade child has learned to count and write numbers up to 20.
• They have learned to identify and compare shapes such as squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles.
• The child has learned basic addition and subtraction within 10.
• They have also learned to recognize and extend simple patterns.

For continued development in math, encourage the child to practice counting and writing numbers beyond 20, introduce more complex shapes like hexagons and pentagons, practice addition and subtraction with larger numbers, and explore more challenging patterns.
