My child is in the middle of 1st grade and [b]the furthest they have gotten is adding/subtracting up to the sum of 6.[/b]  She did that in preschool.  They have not learned any time, money, fractions or simple geometry yet.  It is all VERY basic adding/subtracting with number lines, groups etc....  It is extremely slow.  My oldest was actually EEK in Sept and at that point they had math levels so she was in K and then moved to math2 in grade 1.  So she was adding/subtracting into the thousands and doing fractions and some geometry.  Time and money was taught in K.  She finished 5th doing Math 7 and moved right to Algebra 1 in 6th grade.  They no longer have those options.  ALL kids learn math at the same pace in MCPS until grade 4-5 when they can possibly go into compact math.

You have posted this at least three times in the last few weeks.

According to the first-grade curriculum guide, she should have been doing the following during the second marking period:

[i]Number and Operations in Base Ten: Place value and representation—decomposing and composing 2–digit numbers.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Meaning of equal sign; problem-solving strategies—1- and 2–digit addition and subtraction; adding three numbers—sums to 20.[/I]

Is she doing this? If she is not doing this, why haven't you talked to the teacher and principal about it?

Time (analog, digital, hour, half hour) is taught in the fourth marking period of first grade. Money is taught in the second marking period of second grade, after hundreds place value in the first marking period.[/quote]

+1 I have a 1st grader as well and the homework at the moment is adding 3 numbers with sums up to 20.  I think PP either isn't looking at her child's work or her child is in a slower math group for some reason (which is FINE). [/quote]
