*Parents, please set a timer on the practice timed test and record the amount of time it takes your child to complete the practice test.
Time and Money can be a hard skill for some to master in first grade. Please practice and help your child with these concepts as you can. One of the best ways is to simply talk to your child about telling time in everyday discussions and having them count random amounts of coins to practice mixed combinations up to $1.00.
