Fifi's 1st Grade Curriculum- Math

This years Math we will be focusing on Counting by Multiples, Patterns, Money, Time, Fractions, Place Values, Measuring and some Geometry. When breaking her curriculum down into 38 weeks of lesson plans, I realizes we would have to cover two topics a week. This may change depending on her ability to keep up. Being that its May, August is still a long way off...

We are using the Comprehensive Guide to 1st Grade (CC), Scholastic Math Workbook (SMW), Counting by Multiples by the Learning Line (CM), Learning about Money by Learning Line, and a bunch of Adventures in Learning workbooks (Dora's Subtraction, Lion Kings Addition, Belle's Beginning Fractions, Snow White's Shapes...) The Adventure in Learning Books are approximately 12 to 15 pages long and a nice supplement into what I am teaching. I bought the Adventure in Learning Books at The Dollar Store. I buy the Learning Line, Scholastic and CCs on Amazon for very very little. (This year, for all 16 workbooks Fifi will be using in ALL classes was less then $30)

To work with Money we also have a few games we play, "field trips" to Walmart (the girls that work there are SOO willing to help me with teaching). Even playing grocery store at home lets her count money, add money, make change...
We also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Dollar Stores for things like foam shapes, flashcards, and educational posters (we have the fractions, money and telling time ones already). Fifi also loves Connect the Dots, but rather then the traditional 1, 2, 3, 4... we do connect the dots with the 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's tables. I have a website for them but I cant seem to find it right now. We do connect the dots almost everyday.
