Your "big kids" will LOVE revealing the hidden pictures by plotting the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane.

NO PREP REQUIRED!! This activity is ready to download and give to your students.

Get your students excited to work on math skills by showing them how they apply in the real world! Each student will plan a Thanksgiving menu for six with a $100 budget. They'll have to compare prices to find the best unit rates to stick to their budgets. Then, they'll make their shopping lists and figure out their totals.

Use this poster to help your students learn how to identify if a word problem is calling for addition or subtraction. Print the chart as a poster to use as an interactive anchor chart with the large size word, or print as an independent worksheet with the smaller words. Use with my Word Problem task cards to expand the lesson and see their new skills in action by letting them sort the task cards! Clip art from Busy Bee Studio.

Students will color leaves red and yellow, glue them to their tree trunks, and construct a single digit math problem using the visuals!

Based on ability level, students can use the single tens frame and the number cards to represent a given number using manipulatives. Students who are ready for more of a challenge can roll dice to create an addition problem and use the tens frames to represent and solve the addition problem using manipulatives.

Encourage true understanding of area and perimeter with these no-prep digital and printable task cards.

Based on ability level, students can use the single tens frame and the number cards to represent a given number using manipulatives. Students who are ready for more of a challenge can roll dice to create an addition problem and use the tens frames to represent and solve the addition problem using manipulatives.

Get your students up and moving with this fun Hopscotch Math activity! Digital and printable version are included.

Draw a hopscotch board on the sidewalk. Toss bean bags (a folded pair of socks works too!) on to two numbers. Write the numbers in the boxes and solve the equation. Then hop to the numbers to get the bean bags and begin again!

For the digital version, type the numbers into the text boxes.

If you do not have sidewalk chalk, they can pick two numbers from the hopscotch image included on the worksheets. Alternatively, they can use a pack of playing cards (numbers only) to draw numbers.

8 math activity mats and graphic organizers for early math standards.

Your kindergarten and first grade students will love these activity mats to make math learning and practice more hands on! They are perfect for students in special education, as well.

Roll it Mats: Use dice and manipulatives to roll, make, and write numbers and simple addition problems

Part-Part-Whole Mats: Use with manipulatives to create simple addition problems

Number Tracing: Students will trace numbers 1-10 on the top and then try their own writing to write the numbers on the bottom.

Roll-a-Problem: Use dice to create simple addition problems. Students can draw the dots of the dice or write the number in the boxes provided.

How Many?: For use with counting collections

*Updated to include single digit addition cards for use with the Part-Part-Whole mats.*

These fall activities will get your class in the seasonal spirit! Apples, pumpkins, and leaves team up to help your students practice skills such as counting, single digit addition, graphing, and even sequencing events. From no-prep to low-prep, these ELA and math activities are the perfect addition to your classroom.

I have created a digital self-checking 15-question quiz template in Excel and Google Sheets.

With this template, you will be able to insert 15 questions as well as insert an answer key into this conditionally formatted template that will do the grading for you automatically. If a student answers a question correctly, the answer will turn green and if they answer incorrectly, the answer will turn red. You will be able to use this template for multiple quizzes in multiple subjects - all you have to do is change the questions and change the answer key.

This template will be a lifesaver and you will be sure to keep handy for every day to weekly use.

I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you for your support,
