First Grade Math Textbooks

Video Transcript

"Once your child has learned and mastered all of these skills presented in the reading, writing, literacy and math series for kindergarten and 1st grade, your child will be fully ready for 2nd grade and in some schools maybe even 3rd or higher. It depends. But these are the most basic and important skills. Now there are other little things here and there that you might feel that your child should learn. Feel free to add them in. And as you progress in to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th grade math, if you continue to want to home school your child or tutor your child after school to provide extra learning, you can pick up some of the other strategies that go in to the higher level math by getting a regular text book. You can get and activities book fairly cheap. You can look on line. You can get a used text book. You could get a text book from someone else who's using it. From a neighbor and just copy ideas or strategies. What I've found is, if you're going to get an actual text book for yourself, the older ones are better. And I say that simply because they are simpler. They don't have all the cartoons. They don't have all the craziness. Sometimes the directions are just plain easier for you to understand. And, so try to find an older text book if you can. If you can't, look on line. Basically all you need to know is what are the strategies that go on in the later grades. And you can pick those up with math and with reading, with grammar and make your own work sheets. Continue to teach your child. Nobody can do it as good as you if you're dedicated. And nothing compares to one on one education."
