In AIS (“Academic Intervention Service”) Math we meet in small groups to work on strategies and skills that will help build proficiency in mathematics. AIS Math aims to targets the foundational math concepts necessary for success in the classroom. We use an array of hands-on methods and manipulatives.
Students are selected based on a combination of factors including teacher recommendation and assessments. Our assessments are ongoing, therefore our math groups may change throughout the school year.
Grade 1 Overview
In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on three areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2) developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; and (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and measuring lengths as iterating length units.
