Zearn’s enhanced digital lessons for Kindergarten help every student build understanding of Kindergarten math — on a platform tailored for young learners. If you have completed instruction for all six Kindergarten Missions, here are a few things to keep in mind before transitioning students to Zearn Math for 1st grade.
Consider repeating digital lessons:
We find that, as many teachers work through the teacher materials for all six Missions, they allow students to repeat digital lessons. The extra practice helps to strengthen students’ fluency and math foundations for later learning. Our Help Center has step-by-step instructions for changing student assignments in the digital sequence.
Transition students to 1st grade as a group:
If you and your students have finished Zearn Math for Kindergarten, a group of students should make the shift to 1st grade at the same time to support Collaborative Concept Exploration, which allows students to engage in thoughtful mathematical discussions with peers.
Learn about 1st-grade reading prompts:
Every problem in the Kindergarten digital lesson is automatically read aloud. In 1st grade digital lessons, written prompts are designed for 1st grade reading comprehension for Kindergarten students who are still developing language and reading skills. Teachers can model how to use the audio supports in 1st grade digital lessons to help Kindergarten students engage with 1st grade math learning.
