October: What is Grade 1 studying?
ELA:
Module Summary: In this module, students build their literacy and citizenship skills as they engage in a study of tools and work. Students first learn about how tools help to do a job. They then extend their understanding of what it takes to do a job when they learn how the “habits of character” of initiative, collaboration, perseverance, and responsibility help them do work.
Unit Tasks:
- Students are introduced to hand tools through a series of “tool challenges.” In each challenge, students are presented with a challenge and the question, “Which tool is best for the job?” Students will write an informational piece describing tools and how they work.
- Students engage in close read-alouds, which focus on the study of characters in literary texts. Through these texts, students will consider the habits of character that help them make work easier and solve dilemmas.

Module 1: Sums and Differences to 10
Students will...…
- analyze & describe embedded numbers
- see and describe numbers of objects using 1 more
- count on from embedded numbers
- represent put together situations with number bonds
Common Core Learning Standards:
- NY-1.OA.5 Relate counting to addition and subtraction. e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2
- NY-1.OA.6a Add and subtract within 20. Use strategies such as:
• counting on;
• making ten;
• decomposing a number leading to a ten;
• using the relationship between addition and subtraction; and
• creating equivalent but easier or known sums.
- NY-1.OA.6b Fluently add and subtract within 10. Note: Fluency involves a mixture of just knowing some answers, knowing some answers from patterns, and knowing some answers from the use of strategies. Work with addition and subtraction equations.
- NY-1.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve one-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and/or comparing, with unknowns in all positions. Note: Problems should be represented using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number. Problems should be solved using objects or drawings, and equations.
- NY-1.OA.3 Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract. e.g., • If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) • To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.) Note: Students need not use formal terms for these properties.
- NY-1.OA.7 Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. e.g., Which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6 7 = 8 – 1 5 + 2 = 2 + 5 4 + 1 = 5 + 2
- NY-1.OA.8 Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation with the unknown in all positions. e.g., Determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11 ＿ – 3 = 5 6 + 6 = □
- NY-1.OA.4 Understand subtraction as an unknown addend problem within 20. e.g., subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.
