Give your child a superpower called math
Math Sprouts turns numbers, clocks, and coins into everyday adventures your first grader will actually beg to do — building every core skill they need before second grade, one fun discovery at a time.
Every child who walks away loving math started with one moment where it finally felt like a game — and I'm here to make sure your child gets that moment.— Diving Deeper Academy

The curriculum
What's inside your school
6 modules · 18 lessons
Numbers All Around Us
Students build a rock-solid number foundation before any operations begin. They first master counting and representing numbers to 20, then stretch to 100, and finally learn to compare quantities — establishing the prerequisite number sense that all later addition, subtraction, time, and money work depends on.
- 1.1Counting to 20 with ConfidenceIncluded
- 1.2Counting to 100 by Ones, Fives, and TensIncluded
- 1.3Greater Than, Less Than, and Equal ToIncluded
Addition Adventures
With strong number sense in place, students are formally introduced to addition. They build conceptual understanding first (joining groups), then learn efficient mental strategies, and finally apply their skills to numbers up to 20 in real-world contexts — following a concrete-to-abstract progression.
- 2.1What Is Addition? Joining Groups TogetherIncluded
- 2.2Addition Strategies: Counting On and Using a Ten-FrameIncluded
- 2.3Adding Within 20: Word Problems and Real LifeIncluded
Subtraction Station
Building directly on addition, students learn subtraction as the inverse operation — taking away, finding the difference, and comparing. Fact families are introduced to reinforce the addition-subtraction relationship, and word problems deepen flexibility before the curriculum moves to new topic areas.
- 3.1What Is Subtraction? Taking Away and Finding What's LeftIncluded
- 3.2Subtraction Strategies: Counting Back and Fact FamiliesIncluded
- 3.3Subtraction Within 20: Word Problems and Mixed PracticeIncluded
Tick-Tock: Time and the Calendar
Students shift to measurement and data, learning to tell time on both analog and digital clocks and to navigate a calendar. Analog clocks are taught before digital so students understand the underlying meaning of hours and minutes rather than simply reading digits. Calendar work develops sequencing and real-world math language.
- 4.1Hours and Half-Hours on Analog ClocksIncluded
- 4.2Digital Clocks and Connecting Both FormatsIncluded
- 4.3Reading and Using a CalendarIncluded
Coin Collectors: Money Sense
Students identify, value, and combine U.S. coins. The module follows a deliberate sequence: name and value recognition first, then same-coin counting (applying skip-counting skills), then mixed coins (applying addition skills). A brief introduction to the dollar is added so students understand coins exist within a larger money system — a natural extension that prevents a common conceptual gap.
- 5.1Meet the Coins: Names, Faces, and ValuesIncluded
- 5.2Counting Coins: Same-Coin CollectionsIncluded
- 5.3Mixed Coins and Buying ThingsIncluded
Math Sprouts Graduation: Putting It All Together
The capstone module consolidates every skill from the curriculum through cumulative review, cross-topic problem solving, and a celebratory graduation project. Students demonstrate mastery by applying skills together — solving problems that blend time, money, addition, and number comparison — mirroring how math works in real life.
- 6.1Review Round-Up: Numbers, Addition, and SubtractionIncluded
- 6.2Review Round-Up: Time and MoneyIncluded
- 6.3Math Sprouts Graduation CelebrationIncluded

Diving Deeper Academy
Hey there, math-growing family! 👋
If your little one has ever looked at a page of numbers and said "I can't do this" — I want you to know something important: that moment isn't a sign that math is hard for your child. It's a sign that math hasn't been made fun yet. And that's exactly why Math Sprouts exists.
I built this course because I believe deeply that the way a child first meets math changes everything. When a 6-year-old discovers that subtraction is just "sharing cookies and seeing how many are left," or that counting by fives is basically the world's easiest skip-jump game — something clicks. Not just in their head, but in their heart. They stop seeing math as something that happens to them and start seeing it as something they're genuinely good at. That confidence? It follows them into second grade, third grade, and way beyond.
Math Sprouts walks your child through all six pillars of first-grade math — numbers and counting, addition, subtraction, time, the calendar, and money — in exactly the order that makes sense to a 5-, 6-, or 7-year-old brain. We start with what they already know (counting!) and build each new idea on top of the last, one small, totally-doable step at a time. By the time we get to mixing coins or reading an analog clock, your child won't feel nervous. They'll feel ready.
Here's what I really want you to hear: you don't need to be a math person to make this work. Every lesson is designed so that you can sit beside your child, follow along together, and be their biggest cheerleader — not their teacher. The course does the teaching. You get to do the celebrating. And there is so much to celebrate.
Whether your child is starting kindergarten math fresh, catching up on first-grade skills, or just needs a boost of confidence before a new school year, Math Sprouts meets them exactly where they are — and walks them, step by playful step, all the way to graduation. I cannot wait to see your little sprout grow. 🌱
