Grade 1 Unit 7 The Wonder of Skip Counting
The Wonder of Skip Counting unit is comprehensive, engaging and meticulously crafted to spark curiosity and foster a deep understanding of skip counting. Through nature stories, interactive activities, and real-world connections, the unit's carefully designed lessons will captivate young learners, making them eager to explore the patterns, multiplication, and number relationships inherent in skip counting.
Your child is learning through their sense impressions of the world; this unit encourages you to spend time outside every day before your lesson begins to observe what is happening around you. Elements from these outdoor experiences will form the basis for daily math activities that support the deepening of foundation skills with the four processes. Ideas and concepts are brought through story, art, and play, which are the pathways to the heart.
Join us on this educational journey and watch your child develop essential skills and a love for mathematics that will last a lifetime.
This purchase includes one digital curriculum unit with 15 days of lesson plans and 5 days of flexible projects. This unit will inspire you with beautiful images, clear instructions and exciting project ideas.
And that's not all. You will also gain access to the Wonder Hub, which includes supporting documents, videos, resources, and community.

Concept 1: Numbers to 20 represent quantities that can be decomposed into 10s and 1s.
Connection: Your child will practice addition, subtraction, and grouping with numbers up to 30 daily.
Concept 2: Addition and subtraction with numbers to 10 can be modelled concretely, pictorially, and symbolically to develop computational fluency.
Connection: Your child will review the qualities of the four processes and build a picture of those processes with numbers up to 30.
Concept 3: Repeating elements in patterns can be identified.
Connection: Your child will practice skip counting daily to highlight patterns in times tables.
Science:
Concept: Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment.
Connection: Your child will use time outside to explore how the plants and creatures find their way forth in the Spring. These plants and creatures will form the base of the living picture for math stories.
