First grade is the year math facts start to stick. These 1st grade math lessons cover the Common Core domains that matter most this year: addition and subtraction word problems within 20 (1.OA), tens-and-ones place value (1.NBT), comparing and ordering lengths (1.MD), composing shapes (1.G), and finding unknown numbers in equations (1.OA).

Every lesson is a ready-to-present slide deck with a built-in teaching sequence: warm-up, modeled examples, guided practice, and a quick check for understanding. The word problems use situations six-year-olds recognize, and the place value slides lean on visual models of tens and ones rather than abstract notation.

Present a deck as-is, or open it in Chalkie first and tune it: change the numbers, swap problem contexts for your students' names and interests, or add a challenge slide for early finishers. Adapting an existing deck takes minutes; building one from scratch takes an evening. Start with whichever domain your pacing guide calls for next.
