Description

Build essential mathematical foundations with Horizons 1st Grade Math Student Book 1, a proven curriculum that makes first-grade math concepts engaging and accessible through colorful, interactive lessons. This comprehensive workbook features 80 expertly designed lessons (1-80) that introduce fundamental skills including counting by 1s, 5s, and 10s to 100, ordinal numbers, place values, time and calendar concepts, number lines, and word problems. Perfect for homeschooling families seeking a structured yet engaging approach to elementary mathematics, this curriculum uses the proven spiral-learning method to ensure deep understanding and long-term retention.

Unlike programs that drill students on repetitive problems, Horizons includes multiple different activities within each lesson to maintain interest and prevent boredom—a common complaint from parents using other first-grade math curricula. Each lesson provides just the right amount of practice without overwhelming young learners, while the spiral approach continuously reviews previously learned concepts alongside new material. Parents consistently report that children who struggled with other math programs find success with Horizons’ engaging, colorful format that makes abstract mathematical concepts concrete and understandable.

Designed specifically for parent-led homeschool instruction, this consumable workbook features perforated pages for easy removal and includes 8 review tests strategically placed after every 10 lessons to ensure mastery before progression. The curriculum correlates seamlessly with the Teacher’s Guide (sold separately), which provides step-by-step lesson plans, manipulative suggestions using common household items, and teaching tips that make instruction manageable even for parents new to homeschooling.

The advanced scope ensures students are well-prepared for second grade and beyond, often covering concepts typically introduced later in other curricula. Whether your child is naturally gifted in mathematics or needs extra support with number concepts, Horizons 1st Grade Math Student Book 1 provides the structured foundation essential for future mathematical success while keeping learning fun and engaging through its award-winning, colorful approach.
