What first graders work on in PM Math
A Real Grade 1 Example
See what Grade 1 practice looks like
This is a real PM Math Grade 1 measurement question, aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark MA.1.M.2.1, telling time to the hour and half-hour on analog and digital clocks.
Example Question
What time does the clock show?
Show me how
- The short hour hand points to 4, so the hour is 4.
- The long minute hand points to the 12, which means 00 minutes.
- Write the hour and minutes together as 4:00.
Answer: 4:00
Built for Florida parents
See which Grade 1 skills need practice
Mission Score tracking by strand shows whether gaps are in place value, addition and subtraction, measurement, fractions, or another area.
Build skills throughout the school year
Daily missions and benchmark practice keep first-grade Florida math skills growing from fall through spring, not only around progress-monitoring windows.
Practice Florida-specific standards
Every question maps to a specific Grade 1 Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark (MA.1.*), so practice matches what first graders are expected to learn.
Help your child gain confidence
Age-appropriate visuals, Listen support, walkthroughs, and awards make practice approachable while parents can view progress over time.

Florida FAST Mathematics
What is Florida FAST Math for Grade 1?
Florida first graders participate in FAST Mathematics progress monitoring. For Kindergarten through Grade 2, that program uses Renaissance Star Mathematics during PM1, PM2, and PM3, not the same FAST Mathematics assessment experience used in Grades 3–8.
PM Math is an independent practice tool built around Florida B.E.S.T. Grade 1 standards. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of Education or Renaissance Learning. Students practice the skills those standards describe. They do not take an official Star assessment inside PM Math.

Practice by Florida B.E.S.T. Benchmark
Every PM Math question is tagged with the specific Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark it practices, so students can work on an exact Grade 1 skill instead of a whole grade at once.

Grade 1 Florida Math FAQ
- What math should a Florida first grader know?
- Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for Grade 1 cover six strands: Number Sense and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning, Fractions, Measurement, Geometric Reasoning, and Data Analysis and Probability. See "Built around what Florida first graders learn" above for specifics.
- Does 1st grade take Florida FAST Math?
- Yes. Grade 1 participates in Florida FAST Mathematics progress monitoring. For Kindergarten through Grade 2, FAST Mathematics is administered using Renaissance Star Mathematics during PM1, PM2, and PM3, not the same Grades 3–8 FAST Mathematics testing experience.
- What is Star Mathematics for 1st grade?
- Star Mathematics is the Renaissance tool Florida uses for K–2 FAST Mathematics progress monitoring. PM Math practices Florida B.E.S.T. Grade 1 skills independently. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Renaissance Learning, and it does not claim to be the official Star assessment.
- Is PM Math aligned with Grade 1 Florida B.E.S.T. Standards?
- Yes. Every PM Math Grade 1 question and benchmark is mapped directly to the Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics Standards (MA.1.* for Grade 1).
- Can my child practice individual Grade 1 benchmarks?
- Yes. After creating an account, you can choose a specific Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark, like MA.1.M.2.1 (tell time to the hour and half-hour), for your child to practice, in addition to recommended daily missions.
- Does PM Math include Grade 1 practice exams?
- Yes. Grade 1 students can take mixed-skill PM Math practice checks: an 18-question half exam or a 34-question full practice exam, with a score report and review afterward. These are PM Math practice checks, not official Star Mathematics tests.
