This Alpha Omega Horizons Math 1st grade homeschool curriculum provides challenging academics with emphasis on hands-on activities. The 1st Grade Math Boxed Set includes all student and teacher materials but does not include the math manipulatives. The math manipulatives may be purchased separately. The Boxed Set includes the following:

Basic skills like counting, addition/subtraction, and time are developed as more advanced concepts like time, fractions, and graphs are learned. Student Book 1 topics include Counting, Place Value, Addition, Calendar, Money, and Time. Student Book 2 topics include Subtraction, Shapes, Measurement, and Graphs. The Teacher's Guide contains worksheets, answer keys, and ideas for activities that will help teachers make the most of the curriculum. Math manipulatives used in Horizons Math 1 are available as a set, which includes a geoboard, platform scale, 2 teaching clocks, folding meter stick, 3-D shapes, color tiles and much more, all in a convenient plastic storage tub.

Horizons offers a balanced and well-organized approach to primary math composed of analytical reasoning, manipulatives (hands-on learning), memorization and drill. Brightly illustrated lessons are designed for visual learners. Every concept, from addition and subtraction to graphs and estimation, follows a deliberate pattern of introduction and gradual development to ensure student success. Fundamental concepts previously obtained in earlier units are reviewed in subsequent grade levels for true mastery.

Analytical reasoning skills are used in daily decision making. Beginning with an introduction to each concept, Horizons reinforces thinking skills to help ensure a thorough understanding of all material. Students obtain reasoning skills from the principles taught in Horizons lessons and learn to apply these skills to real-life situations. The teacher's materials make it easy to chart your student's progress. Parent/student interaction is an integral part of the program.
