Is My First Grade Math Workbook a workbook or a lesson-based textbook?
It’s a workbook made up of games and activities rather than long lessons. Kids practice skills by solving puzzles, coloring, matching, mazes, and simple word problems.

Does it include addition and subtraction practice?
Yes. There’s a full section on addition, subtraction, and mixed operations with practice problems, games, and classroom-style word problems.
Does it teach place value (tens and ones)?
Yes. Activities like “Place Value Mud Puddles” and “Tens and Ones” focus on identifying tens and ones and matching numbers to place value descriptions.
Does the workbook cover measurement and comparing (bigger/smaller, more/less)?
Yes. The comparing and measuring section includes activities on bigger vs. smaller, greater than/less than/equal, measuring in inches and centimeters, and comparing volume and weight.
Will my child practice telling time and money skills?
Yes. The estimation, time, and money section includes reading clocks, drawing clock hands for given times, time word problems, and identifying and counting coins.
Does it include graphs, data tables, and early fractions?
Yes. Kids work with picture graphs, bar graphs, and data tables, and they practice fractions by identifying halves, thirds, and fourths in shapes.
Is there an answer key included?
Yes. An answer key starts on page 114 and provides solutions for many of the activities (with some answers marked as “Answers will vary” for drawing-based pages).
Can my child work through the activities in any order?
Yes. The Note to Parents encourages letting children choose activities and complete the workbook at their own pace.
Do I need to sit with my child while they use this workbook?
Not necessarily. The book is written with kids in mind and many activities are straightforward, but the Note to Parents mentions the value of giving time and proper instruction when needed.
How can kids track their progress in the workbook?
There’s a “Way to Go!” progress page where kids can color a star after completing each activity to track how much they’ve done.
If my first grader needs extra practice beyond school, will this help?
Yes. The workbook is designed to reinforce first grade classroom concepts through repeated practice in game and activity formats.
