Grade 1 Math with Special Education Support, Semester 2

This self-paced , online course is designed to introduce first-grade students to essential math concepts through engaging and interactive lessons. Students will develop number sense by learning to count, compare, and order numbers up to 100. They will explore basic addition and subtraction, solve simple word problems, and begin to recognize patterns and shapes. The curriculum emphasizes building a strong mathematical foundation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, while fostering enthusiasm and confidence in math. Using visual aids, games, and real-life examples, the course makes math meaningful and accessible within a flexible learning environment. Beyond the student curriculum, parents are supported through a dedicated online platform that provides access to resources and expert guidance. Parents will gain a clear understanding of their child’s diagnosis, whether it be autism, dyslexia, intellectual disability, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learn practical strategies tailored to their child’s unique learning style—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. The platform offers tools and activities to help parents strengthen their child’s fine and gross motor skills at home, which are essential for writing, cutting, buttoning, and foundational for reading and math success. Parents will also learn respectful, adapted strategies to support their child’s reading and writing processes, boosting spatial awareness crucial for organization, following instructions, and understanding math concepts. Additionally, the platform introduces accessible educational tools and technologies, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), to adapt learning to each child’s abilities. Along with downloadable resources, parents have access to a supportive community to share experiences and receive ongoing professional guidance to ensure a successful learning journey for their child. This course includes 6 months of access to all materials and resources.
