1st Grade Math

A self-paced online Math course for 1st grade: 32 lessons across 8 units. A short placement quiz finds the right starting point, practice adapts as your child answers, and every lesson is marked automatically with progress reported to you.

• Every lesson has at least two different question styles, with hints and step-by-step worked solutions.
• Struggling triggers a gentler re-teach and a warm-up on the missing building block — never a visible drop in score.
• Work this course at its own level: a child can take 1st Grade Math alongside a different grade in Language Arts.
