About this resource

What's inside this resource

This Massachusetts 1st grade curriculum map plans a September–June year of ELA, math, science, and history and social science. Every subject has ten monthly plans with a learning sequence and the evidence to collect. First grade math moves from counting and organizing quantities through addition and subtraction, equations, tens, computing within 100, measuring and telling time, and coins. Science covers seasonal patterns, sound and light, signals and living things; history and social science covers leadership, maps, unity and diversity, and economic choices.

A daily foundations page sits alongside the monthly ELA topics, with sound and spelling work, connected reading and checks across ten stages. The Excel workbook holds Year Map, Monthly Plans, Coverage Audit, Foundations, Ongoing and Local, and a Version Register that lists the Massachusetts framework years used. The 13-page PDF is the printable version of the whole year.

  • Grade 1, Massachusetts: four subjects in 40 monthly plans, plus daily foundations
  • 13 PDF pages: calendar, framework versions, two pages per subject, foundations, routines and a coverage page with lines for a local decision
  • Three files: a full-color PDF, a print-friendly black and white PDF and an editable Excel workbook (.xlsx) you can adapt
