Yes!  My daughter was adding/subtracting in the thousands in 1st (she was put in 2nd grade math.)   [b]My daughter is currently in 1st and she is doing adding/subtracting up to 6 this week[/b].  6!!!!!   She learned that in fours preschool.  They also haven't taught them anything about money.  No learning to tell time.   My daughter knows them both but they haven't been in the curriculum.  She also has no spelling words.  I was told at conferences they don't expect kids in 1st to spell.  Just learn how to write phonetically.   :roll:   The have a small set of word wall words they need to know by the end of the year.  My daughter already knowing how to spell them.  So now what?  Nothing.  Bored to tears.  No enrichment. Sad.[/quote]

It's the end of the second marking period. This is what your first-grader was supposed to be doing in math in the second marking period:

Place value and representation: decomposing and composing 2-digit numbers
Meaning of equal sign
Problem-solving strategies: 1- and 2-digit addition and subtraction
Adding three numbers: sums to 20

If your first-grader's class was not doing these things, you need to talk to the principal.
