RIQN Curriculum for Grade 1

Adding and subtracting within 20, tens and ones, telling time, measuring and shapes.

RIQN covers the full year of Grade 1 math, built around grade-level Common Core State Standards: 12 modules and 48 skills your child practices and masters, plus 12 grade tests (45 minutes, 50 questions each), with Read to Me for early readers.

  • Compose two-dimensional shapes (1.G.A.2)
  • Compose three-dimensional shapes (1.G.A.2)
  • Halves, fourths, and quarters (1.G.A.3)
  • More equal shares make smaller shares (1.G.A.3)

What the Grade 1 tests cover

Every Grade 1 test has 50 questions drawn from all 12 modules, so it covers the whole year, the way end-of-year tests do. It mixes three kinds of questions — solve it, word problems, and check the thinking — at easy, medium and harder levels. Each of the 12 tests uses different questions, and the parent report shows the score for every module and skill.
