Stratford Elementary School

Math is another foundational skill students learn in 1st grade. Your child learns how to represent numbers in multiple ways- pictures, equations, and words. They practice basic addition and subtraction but learn that there are many ways to go about solving equations. They even get into word problems and having to write their own equations from the story. Among many other skills! Math facts are a huge part of your child's success in math. Like reading, math facts are something that need to be practiced, practiced, practiced!
