Typewritten Text

Thanks for requesting a sample of our new Common Core Teacher Editions. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you in building successful math students.

This booklet is a sample Common Core Standards Teacher Edition for Grade 1 (Table of Contents and first 10 lessons). We have grade level samples for grades K-6. You can download them from our website: www.excelmath.com/downloads/state_stds.html

Here are some highlights of our new Common Core Teacher Editions:

1. The Table of Contents will indicate Lessons that go further than Common Core (CCS) concepts. There is a star next to lessons that are “an accelerated Excel Math concept that goes beyond Common Core Standards for Grade 1 but may be required by some states.” With this information, teachers can choose to teach the concept, introduce it without expecting mastery or skip it entirely.

2. For each Lesson Plan (each day) we are changing the “Objective” to “Common Core Objective” (see Lesson # 1). On days where a portion of the lesson is not directly related to CCS, we will label that portion of the lesson as “optional.” The Objective on those days will look like this (from Lesson #5):

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will count bundles of 10.

Students will recognize and add dimes.--

The footnote at the bottom of the page will read:

3. Within Guided Practice when a non CCS concept is one of the practice problems, we will indicate it with the star again. (See Answer Key for Lesson #5, Guided Practice Boxes C and D)

4. On Test Days (see Test #2) we indicate with a star non CCS concepts being assessed.

We are continually updating these Common Core Teacher Editions as well as the Student Sheets.

You can find updates plus additional downloads on our website (manipulatives, Mental Math, placement tests in English and Spanish, and lots more): www.excelmath.com/tools.html

Please give us a call at 1-866-866-7026 (between 8:30 - 4:00 Monday through Friday West Coast time)if you have questions about these new Excel Math Common Core Editions.

Cordially,

The Excel Math Team

1st Grade Lesson Plans and Answer Keys

2

Lesson 1

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will recognize the numerals 0 – 9.

PreparationFor the entire class: Put cards up in the front of the room showing the numerals 0 – 9 in order. Each card should also have pictures of various items.

Lesson PlanStart with counting activities. Ask seven students to come to the front of the room. Ask another student to come forward and walk along the line of students, giving each one a “high five” hand clap as they count along with the rest of the class.

We want students to connect numbers with physical objects, so it is important for them to say the numeral and touch each student at the same time.

When they have finished counting, draw the numeral on the board and have the class say the word with you. Repeat this process several times with different numbers of students, books, crayons, pencils, blocks, etc. Include zero.

Move to the number cards in the front of the room. Have the students point to each numeral and trace it in the air with their index finger.

Distribute the Lesson Sheets.

For each problem on the front and back of the lesson, have the students practice counting the pictures. As they say the total number aloud, have them trace the numeral with their finger. Do each problem together with the class.

If these exercises come easily to your class, move on to Lesson 2 or 3.

Activity ObjectiveMany lessons are accompanied by activities. The activities usually do NOT teach the same concept that is being taught on the lesson sheets. They may reinforce a lesson or concept taught a few days before, or teach something that is not easily communicated with pencil and paper work.

PreparationActivities normally involve students moving out of their seats, or creating things from raw materials. They give students a chance to experience another learning mode. You may be asked to have some materials ready or to use a manipulative page from the section in the back of this Teacher Edition.

Activity PlanYou will be given instructions for implementing the activities, but we do not provide a script with the words you should say.

Lesson 2

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will select the correct numeral for a given set of pictures.

PreparationFor each student:• MakeacopyofNumberCards0–9

(master on page M2). Save the number cards for future use.

• 9counterssuch as books, paper clips, bottles, beans, cubes, etc.

Lesson PlanSince printed numerals can look different from hand-drawn numerals, the Lesson Sheet shows several different ways that the numeral can appear. Discuss this subject with the class and explain how you would like them to write each numeral.

Walk around the room, alternating saying “Show me the numeral 8” or “Show me 8 counters”. When you have used each number in both questions, distribute the Lesson Sheets.

Once you have gone over the different ways the numerals can appear, ask students to do the rest of the lesson. In each example they should count the objects pictured, then circle the correct numeral from the three choices given. Do the first 2 or 3 with them. Then ask them to do the rest on their own.

Guided Practice Use the Guided Practice portion of your math lesson to ask students to “explain theirthinking.”CommonCoreStateStandards(CCSS)stresstheimportanceof “students making sense of mathematics by describing their thinking.” Asking

students to explain their work will help you to determine the students’ depth of understanding and will give you a chance to clear up any misconceptions.

Adapt your lesson to the needs of your class. If your students are having difficulty with a concept, take time to practice that concept or reteach it before moving on to the next lesson. Since we constantly review previously taught concepts in Guided Practice, you do not need to look for total mastery for the whole class before moving on to other concepts.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will group and count similar items.

PreparationFor each student: Numbers and Pictures I (master on page M55)

Activity PlanAsk your students to cut off the strip of digits first and set the strip aside.

Show the class how to cut along the longest lines first and then cut off each picture.

Ask the students to group like pictures together. They should count the items in each stack and put the numeral on top of the appropriate stack.

They will have 1 snowman, 2 cars, 3 cats, 4 elephants, 5 kites, 6 boats and 7 dogs.

Cutpiecesofcoloredpaperinfourths.Giveeach student 7 pieces of the paper. Ask them to glue each group of pictures to a piece of paper along with the appropriate digit.

Lesson 3

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will write the correct numerals for a given set.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanWalk around the room and say different numerals. Students should trace the shape of the numeral on the desk with a finger.

Let your students spend more time counting objects and tracing numerals if they are unable to write the numerals 0 – 9. CommonCoreStandardsonlyhavechildrenlearn cardinal numbers, not ordinals other than first, second and third.

Simply stated, cardinal numbers represent a value that you can add or subtract from (one,twothree),whileordinalnumbersrepresent a position in a sequence (first, second,third).

Number theory is something that students must experience - understanding that numbers are more than just a series of words designating order.

Distribute the Lesson Sheets. Have the students trace each numeral and then write each one twice more in the space provided. You are looking for quality, not speed.

The students should count the objects in each box and then write the number in the space provided.

Homework The Homework letter on the student lesson sheet should be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to you. A homework

letter in Spanish is included on page i.16 of this Teacher Edition.

One purpose of Homework in first grade is to teach the students responsibility. Give students a Lesson Sheet at the end of the day and ask them to return with it the next morning after having completed it at home.

Guided Practice When they flip their papers over to work on Guided Practice, point to the numerals in the upper right hand corner. Since you probably have some students who still write numerals incorrectly, these have been provided as a guide.

Show the class that some problems on the Guided Practice portion of their Lesson Sheet are the same ones they did the day before. They count objects, then circle the correct numeral instead of writing it.

Each day they will be given problems on the Lesson Sheets that review previously introduced skills.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will create numerals out of common materials.

PreparationFor the entire class: materials (clay, string, paint,etc.)thatstudentscanformintotheshape of numerals

Activity PlanAsk students to create each numeral with a piece of string or clay. Alternatively you can have them finger paint each numeral or draw it in sand. You want them to physically create each numeral’s shape.

Dear Parents,

You can help your child by getting involved with homework. You may not always have time to help, but just showing an interest may really motivate your child.

Homework is available four nights a week, and will be located on the lesson sheet where this letter appears. Whenever you have the time, please ask to see your child's paper and look over their work.

With your assistance, I look forward to a successful year in mathematics. Please contact me if you need any clarification of our math program.

Sincerely,

I have read this letter and I will do my best to help at home.

Lesson 4

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will continue to write the numerals 0 – 9.

PreparationFor the entire class: write the numerals0 – 9 on the board

For each student: NumeralCards0–9fromLesson 2 (master on page M2)

Lesson PlanArrange the students in pairs. Give each pair a set of number cards. Have them turn over the cards and draw the number shown in the air or on their desks. Ask one of each pair to lay his/her head down on the desk and not look at the board.

Point to one of the numerals on the board. Ask the second student of each pair to draw that numeral on the back of the student whose head is down.

The student whose head is down may now raise his head and hold up the number card showing the numeral that was drawn on his back. Do this several times, with the students trading places.

Distribute the Lesson Sheets. Have the students trace each numeral and then write each one two more times in the space provided. Ask the students to try for quality, not speed.

They should then complete the problems on the front and then the back portion of the Lesson Sheet.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will group and count items based on varying criteria.

PreparationFor each student: Numbers and Pictures II (master on page M56)

Activity PlanAsk your students to cut off the strip of digits first and set the strip aside.

Show them how to cut along the longest lines first and then cut off each picture.

Ask them to group the pictures. They should count the items in each stack and put the numeral on top of the appropriate stack. They should have 2 cars, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 5 boats, 6 houses and 8 trees.

Ask students if they can sort the pictures based on other criteria, for example:•animalvs.notananimal•livingvs.notliving(thiswouldaddthetreestothecatsanddogs)•stationaryvs.moving(dogs,cats,carsand boats in one group, with houses and treesinanother)•thingsassociatedwithwatervs.land

Ask your students to suggest some grouping criteria of their own.

For this kind of sorting it is not necessary to count the number in each group, but they should identify which pictures belong in each group.

Lesson 5

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will fill in the missing number in a series, counting by one from 0 – 9.

PreparationFortheentireclass:oneNumberCard0–9to each of 10 students (masters on page M2 and M4, or use a permanent marker to write large numerals on heavy dinner-size paper plates)

Lesson PlanStudentswithaNumberCardshouldputthecardfaceupontheirdesks.Callfourofthe students with sequential numerals to the front of the room, but do not call them in order. Ask students to hold the numbers in front of them.

Have another student come forward and arrange the students in the correct order. The class should be silent. When the ordering is finished, have the class evaluate the sorting by indicating thumbs up or thumbs down.

Then let the class say the numerals aloud to verify the order. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times. Next use problems #1 – 6 on Lesson 5 as examples, before distributing the Lesson Sheets.

Once the series has been arranged correctly, ask whoever has the next number to come forward. Let the student come up on their own while the rest of the class is silent. You may have 2 or 3 students come up at once. They can stand behind each other. Next, write the series on the board, showing the blank, and have one of the students fill in the blank.

At this point distribute the Lesson Sheets and have the students complete #1 – 10 on their own. When they have finished, they go on to the back side of the Lesson Sheet.

At the bottom of the Lesson Sheet there is space to practice writing numerals 0-9. This can be done in class or as a part of their homework. Students should write each numeral over the dotted line.

Later we will omit the guide numerals. Students should be able to write in the missing ones. If they have trouble forming numerals, they can refer to the examples printed on the back of each Lesson Sheet, above the Guided Practice.

Activity PlanEvery 5th Excel Math Lesson Sheet contains lesson plans that require extra space, such as graphing.

To avoid making the day too busy, there is no Activity or Homework on the 5th day. Instead, you present the lesson and then move to either a Test or a special Exercise. These appear on alternating weeks. If you wish, students can do the Guided Practice at home.

The Exercises are designed to help teach your students valuable concepts that are not easily conveyed in the normal lesson format.

Exercise 1

Common Core Exercise 1This Excel Math curriculum provides a test after each 10 lessons - or every two weeks. In addition, there are quarterly and year-end tests.

In order to keep the pattern of lessons consistent in this Teacher Edition, and to give your students an occasional challenge, the “non-test” day on alternate weeks will have a special exercise.

This builds on the skills students have learned earlier in the year. In essence, this is a non-graded opportunity for students to use what they have learned.

You can use these pages at any time if you feel students need a break or reinforcement of a certain concept, or you may substitute oneoftheCommonCoreActivitiesintheback of this Teacher Edition.

Exercise ObjectiveStudents will use numbers to count fingers and toes.

Exercise PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Exercise PlanCharactersareholdingupdifferentnumbers of fingers. Have students check the hands of the figures, and either draw or cross off fingers so they match the right number.

Because these are cartoon figures, it doesn’t matter how many fingers are on each hand as long as the total is correct.

The back of the page provides room for the students to trace around their feet and number their toes. You may want to have them work in pairs to do the footprint drawings.

Lesson 6

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will count the number of items in a set of 10.

Students will write the number 10.

PreparationFortheentireclass:0–10NumberCardsposted at the front of the room (masters on pages M2 and M4)

Lesson PlanHave ten students come to the front of the room. Have another student come up to count. The whole class should count aloud as the one student gently touches each of the other students. Repeat this using crayons, desks, pencils, books, etc.

Put a card up on the wall with “10” on it. It should go next to the cards that you put up forLesson1(orputup0-9nexttothe10).Have the class count to ten as a student points to the numbers.

Next group the students in pairs. One student puts their head down. Point to oneofthenumbers(0–10).Thenhavethe other student draw that numeral on the back of the student whose head is down. The students who had their heads down would then clap together (without counting)toindicatethenumeralthatwasdrawn on their back. Do this several times, letting the partners trade places.

Distribute the Lesson Sheets. Go through problems #1 – #4 with the class, counting together up to ten.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will recognize, describe and create patterns of sound and motion.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Activity PlanStart clapping and snapping a pattern, for example:

clap, snap, clap, snap, clap, snap ...

Tell the students to join in when they think they know the pattern. Some students may not be able to figure out the pattern. Do not single them out, but let them catch on in their own time.

Ask if any of the students can verbally describe the pattern. Then try a new pattern. Again, have them join in when they think they are able to figure out the pattern. Each time get the class to verbalize the basic pattern you are repeating.

After 3 or 4 patterns, ask the class for suggestions of movements they can make with their bodies when they clap or snap. For example, stand to clap and squat to snap. Try to get as many students as possible to make suggestions. You want them to learn that you are interested in their ideas.

After 3 or 4 times through a pattern with different body motions, change to a new pattern.

Lesson 7

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will match a set of dots with an equal number of items in a given set. Vocabulary: equal

PreparationFor each student: counters such as beans or cubes

You may want to print vocabulary word cards from the link on our website:excelmath.com/downloads/Glossary.html

Lesson PlanCall1–10studentstothefrontoftheroom. Tell the class to silently put out on their desks the number of counters that is equal to the number of students at the front.

Do this 5 or 6 times. Write the word “equal” on the board. Go through Lesson Sheet problems #1 – #4 as follows:

1. Counttheobjectsinthegivenset.2. Write that number next to the set.3. Countthedotsineachgroup.4. Draw a circle around the set that is

equal in number to the given set.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will create shapes using a string.

PreparationFor each student: a piece of string about a foot long

Activity PlanDraw an oval on the board. Tell the students to copy the oval figure on their desktop using the string.

Next draw a circle and have them change their oval to a circle. Ask them what the difference is between the two shapes. Talk about attributes that are the same and different between the two shapes.

Repeat this procedure going from:

Help your students distinguish between defining attributes (triangles are closed andthree-sided)andnondefiningattributesofshapes (such as color, orientation, overall size, placement on the board or paper, etc.).Agreentriangleandaredtriangleare both triangles. A green triangle and a green square are two different shapes.

Lesson 8

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will identify a circle, triangle, rectangle and square.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanDraw several different sizes of circles, triangles, rectangles and squares on the board. Have the class describe attributes of each of the four types of figures using their own words. Do the square last. Ask students why a square is a special type of rectangle? (All four sides are the same length.)

Put on the board four pictures of the 4 shapes with their names written next to them or use the Grade 1 Projectable Lesson CDtoshowtheshapesonawallorboard.

When your students are asked to identify a rectangle, a square will not be one of the choices, even though a square is also a rectangle. When they define each of the shapes, be sure they say the figure is closed.

Have the students point to the figures that you have drawn on the board and draw them in the air with their finger.

Group the students in pairs. One student lays his/her head down. Point to one of the four figures. Next have the other student draw that figure on the back of the student whose head is down. The students who have their heads down are to guess which figure was drawn. Do this several times, with the students trading places.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will use colors and shapes to define attributes of shapes and to compose new shapes.

PreparationFor each student: envelope, copy of the RGB Squares page (master on pages M23), scissors, crayons or colored pencils

Activity PlanAsk the students to color the R squares - red, G - green, and B - blue on the RGB page. Show them how to cut the papers lengthwise and then cut off each square.

They can cut some squares in half to form triangles.

Let the students combine their shapes to compose two-dimensional shapes such as rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, creating composite shapes. They can also form new shapes from the composite shapes.

For example, they could combine the red squares to form a larger red square or combine the blue squares to form a long skinny rectangle. They could use 4 triangles to form a tall rectangle or combine 5 triangles to make a trapezoid. Talk about the attributes of each shape.

Give each student an envelope for storing the shapes pieces. Make sure names are on the envelopes. Keep the shapes to use again in the next lesson.

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will continue to identify attributes of a circle, triangle, rectangle, and square.

Vocabulary: circle, triangle, rectangle, square

PreparationYou may want to print vocabulary word cards from the link on our website:excelmath.com/downloads/Glossary.html

Lesson PlanWrite the words on the board: circle, triangle, rectangle, and square. Have the class say each word several times.

Next draw several circles, squares, triangles and rectangles on the board. Point to each of the figures and then ask the class to tell you which of the 4 figures it is.

Chooseseveralstudentstocometotheboard and draw one of the figures as you name it.

Talk about the various attributes of each shape.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will use colors and shapes to create composite shapes.

PreparationFor each student: RGB squares from the previousactivity(envelopeswithshapes),Shapes page (masters on pages M23 – M24), scissors, envelopes

Activity PlanLet the students cut out the squares, circles and triangles on the Shapes page, leaving them uncolored. Have them cut the circles in half.

Let the students combine their shapes to compose two-dimensional shapes such as rectangles, squares, trapezoids, circles and triangles, creating composite shapes. They can also form new shapes from the composite shapes.

For example they could combine the red squares to form a larger red square or combine the blue squares to form a long skinny rectangle. They could use 4 triangles to form a tall rectangle or combine 5 triangles to make a trapezoid. Talk about the attributes of each shape.

Give each student an envelope for storing the shapes pieces, if he doesn’t already have one. Make sure names are on the envelopes. Keep the shapes to use again in future lessons.

Lesson 10

Common Core Lesson ObjectiveStudents will fill in the missing number in a series counting down from 10 to 0.

PreparationForeachstudent:NumberCards0–9andNumberCards10–19(masters on page M2 and M4)

Lesson PlanGive each student a number between 0 and 10.Callfourstudentsholdingsequentialnumerals, but do not call them in order.

Ask a student to come forward and arrange the students in correct order. The class should be silent. When the student is finished, have the class evaluate using thumbs up or down. Ask the class to say the numbers aloud to verify the work.

The numbers are in order from lesser to greater value. Ask if the students can arrange the numbers from greater to lesser value.

Ask a student to come up and arrange the numerals/students in decreasing value. Again the class should be silent and give the thumbs up or down afterward.

Before you distribute the Lesson Sheets, work through problems #1 – 6. Write a series on the board with an underline drawn for the next numeral. Ask the student with the next number to come forward and fill in the blank.

Ask if the sequence is from greater value tolesservalue(decreasingorder)orfromlessertogreater(increasingorder).

If you decide to skip the probability words, let the students practice addition facts using the egg carton game from Lesson 56.

Back of Test PlanStudents may say it is certain or likely that people see a flag at the ballpark or that the moon is easiest to see at night. Some might even decide that it is likely that an alligator would be a safe pet.

Any of these answers is acceptable if students have considered the 4 choices and evaluated which one suits each sentence.

Ask them to explain or defend their answers if they make unlikely selections.
