1st Grade Curriculum is a year of primary education
in schools in the United States and Canada. It is the first school year after kindergarten. Pupils are usually 6 to 7 years
old in this grade level; they are sometimes called first graders. In mathematics students may learn about addition and subtraction
of natural numbers, and about measurement. Basic geometry and graphing may be introduced. Clock and calendar time and money
may also be in the curriculum. In language first graders are taught the fundamentals of literacy, including reading sentences,
writing very simple statements and mastery of the alphabet, building on what the students have learned in k 12 online curriculum
or other forms of pre-school. Although because first grade is the first compulsory level of education in many U.S. states,
the level of literacy in incoming students can vary widely. In the USA, students are also typically introduced to the concept
of social studies with an emphasis on establishing ideas of history or civics in either a personal or in a larger sense. Some
states focus on the basics of USA's history and patriotism is taught, with a focus on the founding fathers and the time
period surrounding the American Revolution; other states require a social studies focus on family relationships in first grade,
leaving community, state, and nation studies to higher grades. Basic geography is also taught in the 1st grade. Focus on the
persons municipal area and culture, along with basic state geography may also be focused in 1st grade, depending on the state.
First grade science usually involves the discussion of matter, the human body, plant and animal science, and weather, depending
on the state. Primary education resources is the largest collection of primary
