From the workbook

A real page of Math · Grade 1

Fair Shares Pizza Party

The child will tell shapes apart by their defining attributes, build shapes from other shapes, and split circles and rectangles into two or four equal shares, describing them as halves, fourths or quarters. · 40 min

Warm-up — say this

“Let's warm up! Tell me the name of each shape and how many sides it has.”

Worked example

A sandwich is cut into 2 equal pieces. What is each piece called?

Answer: One half. There are 2 equal shares, so each one is a half. Two halves make the whole sandwich.

A mistake students make

Any shape cut into 2 pieces is cut into halves, even if the pieces are different sizes.

How the book fixes it

Stack the two pieces. If one is bigger, they are not halves. Halves must be equal shares.

Note to the parent

Use the words half, fourth and quarter during meals and snacks. Grade 1 does not write fractions like 1/2; focus on naming equal shares and seeing that more shares means smaller pieces.

That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.

Practice is not teaching. Math · Grade 1 is the part that teaches.

These questions check a skill your student has already met. They do not explain anything, and they are not meant to — that is what the workbook is for, and it is the whole difference between the two.

It teaches.Each topic is a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, in order: a five-minute warm-up, twelve minutes of teaching, ten minutes guided, ten minutes on their own, three minutes to close. Written for a parent who has never taught.
It explains.Two worked examples per topic, and the two mistakes students actually make on that exact skill — named, with how to correct each one. When a student is stuck, the book already knows why.
It reviews.Every answer comes with a short explanation, not just a key. And every topic has its own question bank, so a student who needs another go gets different questions rather than the same page again.
It is a plan, not a pile.Every topic names the standard it addresses, in teaching order, so you can see the whole year before you start.

Why this exists

I was spending thousands a month on tutors, and when I asked about enrolling a second or third child the answer was the same everywhere: that will be double. So I built the thing I could not find — nine subjects, kindergarten through grade 5, every topic in the order a student should actually meet it.

Questions parents ask

Are these math worksheets really free?

Yes. All 25 questions and their answers are on this page, free to print and free to photocopy for your own students. There is no account, no email address and no card.

Can a teacher or a tutor use these with a class?

Yes. Print and photocopy them for the students you teach. The only thing we ask is that you do not republish them as your own or sell them.

Where are the answers?

Marked beside each question on this page, so it prints as its own answer key. If you want a clean copy for a student, print it and cover the answer column, or use the sample workbook instead.

What grade are these for?

Grade 1. Every other grade from kindergarten to grade 5 has its own page, linked at the foot of this one. If your student finds these hard, try the grade below — that is normal and it is not a problem.

What do the paid workbooks add?

These questions check a skill. The workbook teaches it: a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, two worked examples, the two mistakes students actually make on that skill and how to correct each one, and an explanation beside every answer rather than a bare key.
