How this course is shaped

Introduction

This is the Grade 1 Mathematics course (Ages 6–7). It is written so a child can learn with a teacher, a parent, or a careful older sibling. Every lesson tells you what will happen, why it matters, how to try it, and how to know you understood. The PlusOne / HBC teacher’s guide PDF sits beside the lessons so you can open the original pages when you want the full book.

What you will learn

You will grow in Mathematics through these units: Number; Counting; Ordering; Numerical order; Construction; Ordinal numbers; Approximation and estimation; Comparisons; Addition of whole numbers with sum up to; Subtraction of whole numbers within the range 0-50 and 7 more units. By the end you should be able to talk about each idea, try a task, and connect it to home and Zimbabwe.

How we learn

We learn in tiny steps. We look, we say, we do, we praise. If the child looks away, we pause. Short, happy lessons beat long, hard ones.

What you need

Crayons, paper, and something to count or hold. An adult nearby to help. Counters such as bottle tops, stones or beans. A ruler if you have one.
