Evan-Moor Daily Fundamentals, Grade 1 - Teacher's Edition (EMC3241)

The daily practice and review prepares students for success on assessments and state testing. Full-page daily activities provide practice of grade-level language, math, and reading skills, focusing on one skill in each subject area. The daily lessons progress in difficulty as students move through Day 1 to Day 5, and the weekly units progress in difficulty throughout the year. The 30 weeks of first grade skill practice covers: language (grammar, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary), math (operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base 10, measurement and data, time, money, and geometry), and reading (main idea and details, sequence, fantasy and reality, fact or opinion, character, authors purpose, and compare and contrast). Daily activities often include open-ended questions that require higher-order thinking skills. These types of questions can be used to promote peer-to-peer discussions as students share and discuss answers, while also fostering critical thinking skills.
