- Included in these packages:
With Horizons Math 1, your children will:
- Count 1-100 with a variety of number sets
- Count by 1's from 100-200
- Learn ordinal and cardinal numbers
- Add vertically and horizontally carrying in 1's column
- Subtract vertically and horizontally without borrowing
- Understand basic fractions, sets, shapes, graphs and units of measure
Horizons Math is designed to help your children understand math from the ground up.
Includes Teacher's Handbook and Student Workbook. For use with additional students, please purchase additional consumables (one for each additional student.)
Using a spiral learning technique, children are first introduced to a concept and then asked to solve related and increasingly difficult problems over the course of several days or weeks. The concept then re-emerges in later exercises for a new concept. This frees up the children's minds and does not overwhelm them with too much information. They feel confident because they get to take steady, measured steps, and as they revisit concepts over time, they continually strengthen and reinforce their existing knowledge base.
Each year's program consists of three pieces:
- Two colorful, well-organized workbooks each with 80 lessons and 8 unit exams
- Teacher's Handbook with daily lesson plans, answer keys, and final exams
- 80 reproducible worksheets included in Teacher's Handbooks

The more we use Horizons in our family, the more I love it--I see the way they are building on concepts early on for my kids future success. I am very happy with my choice to go with Horizons. My son is 5 and instead of starting with K, we started with Year 1. I figured that we could slow down if needed. Things have been going great and he loves it! I do think at times (and in the later years) Horizons gives too much busy work and the worksheets can be a little to cramped. But often times I can see what they are doing and why. They tackle things from multiple angles to make sure your kids really get it! The teachers' guide is invaluable and hands down the most helpful guide I own. Overall, I just love this program. It's been great for both my daughter and my son.

Honestly I can't say enough about 1st grade Horizons!! Way better then anything I've seen....The spiral technique they used was great. Unfortunatley I had to put my child in 2nd grade public school last year....and he had to take an entrance exam...he scored at 2.8 level (which to the school meant he was ready for 2nd grade 8th month in math) going into second grade. The only problem he had...he was constantly getting in trouble telling the teacher the easier way to do math. Ha, Ha! And our school district is rated #1 in the state...Very pleased, very very pleased.

Not our favorite math program. My child seemed a little bit bored. It just was not a fit for our family. In the end we chose Teaching Textbooks and are so pleased with the results.
