Unit 1 reviews addition and subtraction facts through 10 and other skills taught in Grade 1; Unit 2 teaches all the addition and subtraction facts for 11; Unit 3, the 12’s and 13’s and carrying and borrowing; Unit 4, the 14’s and 15’s; and Unit 5, the 16’s-18’s. Continuous review is built into the lessons and simple reading problems are practiced frequently. Speed drills are included in the workbooks. Money, time and measures are reviewed; half dollar, quarter hour, and pounds and ounces are introduced.
A set of blackline masters (optional) provides extra practice for the teacher to copy as needed. Simple multiplication and division are included in the blacklines for those classes that are ready for it in Grade 2.

What homeschoolers say about Rod & Staff Publishing
Rod & Staff Publishing is appreciated by homeschoolers for its traditional, Christian-oriented approach with strong phonics and classical education elements. Many families find the materials straightforward, rigorous, and well-structured, especially in subjects like math and language arts. However, some note that the presentation can feel outdated and less engaging compared to more modern curricula, and the heavy emphasis on religious content may not suit all families. Overall, it is valued for its affordability and thoroughness but may require more parental involvement to keep students motivated.
