This curriculum guide provides activity ideas that cover ALL the typical math skills taught in First Grade. It also provides some teaching guidance for concepts that may be unfamiliar to parents using the guide. This enables you to have peace of mind that your child is learning the skills needed for their grade level but without relying on repetitive math workbooks or expensive curriculum.  Under each skill, there are multiple ideas on how to learn and practice them outside! A suggested unit pacing guide, sample week plan, and planning sheet are included in the resource section. I also include math picture books and tabletop games recommendations to further support your child's math learning. 
 
Learning outdoors has been proven to increase engagement when learning math. It also is hands-on and relates to real life in a way a textbook cannot. Teach your child in a classroom without walls!
 
This math guide is packed with ideas, games, materials to encourage math play and color photos on how to use what is naturally abundant in your area to learn math! Use pinecones, rocks, or seashells to learn addition and subtraction! Play games with lawn dice and a giant 100 chart. Experiment with a variety of containers to learn about volume and capacity in the mud kitchen.  Use bundles of sticks to learn place value!  Suggested materials and gear for learning outside are included. As well as tips for families learning math outside in more urban areas.
