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.

Use these practice pages to reinforce letter skills such as identifying beginning sounds, letter formation, and letter identification. Laminate or place in page protector for repeated use.

This super sight word game is a great way to get your little super heroes excited about reading! Game cards include pre-primer, primer, first grade, and second grade Dolch sight words, each marked for easy differentiation based on level. Download, print, laminate, and cut the cards and spinner. Students will spin and land on a number (one or two to practice as many words as possible). Some spaces say "draw 2." That means the student will draw and read two cards. On "action" spaces, you get to choose what the student can do. Use these spaces as an extra turn, lose a turn, or a battle! In a battle, each student can choose a card and attempt to read it. Any card read is kept; cards read incorrectly will return to the pile. Clip art in the game is from Krista Wallden with Creative Clips.

This is a fun, low prep activity that kids will love doing around the holidays! Students will match and sort numbers to number words, lines, and objects. Laminate all parts and attach velcro if desired. Perfect for fast finishers, independent work, RtI, and special education.

This is just one page of my St. Patrick's Day Math Packet! Using this page, students will cut out the pictures and finish the AB and ABB patterns with fun St. Patrick's Day clip art from CK Clipart.

Students can color the pictures, cut the pieces apart, and reassemble them in numerical order on a template. Three designs are available: a soccer ball, monkey, and apple. Templates include those with numbers and those without for differentiation.

Use these mats for small groups or independent practice with one or two dice. Students roll the dice, count the dots, use manipulatives to represent the number, locate the number, and practice writing the number. Print and laminate the sheet or put it in a page protector to use with a dry erase marker for repeated use.

Updated to include a version of the mats with tens frames to help "make" the numbers.

Updated a second time to include a version of the mat with an addition sign for added math skill practice.

This is just one page of my St. Patrick's Day Math Activity Bundle! Students can use the pictures to count the groups and find their combined totals. This is a great way to introduce and practice addition with your young learners or your learners in special education. This worksheet uses fun St. Patrick's Day clipart from CK Clipart.

Students will create a book about how ten snowmen spent their day! Each page shows a way to make ten. Rhyming sentences show how different groups of snowmen do different things, but each time, all ten are together. With three differentiated versions, there is sure to be one to fit the needs of each of your students. Students can draw their own snowmen in the boxes on the pages, color in the correct number of snowmen in each box, or color in an errorless version. Students can also use manipulatives to count out snowmen instead of drawing or match the manipulative to the picture. At the bottom of each page, students will be able to write in the equation that equals ten.

Students will count pictures in a ten frame and in a collection and match them to the corresponding number.

Print and laminate alphabet arc, picture cards, and arrow. Punch a hole where indicated on the alphabet arc and attach the arrow to the arc with a brad. 

Students will draw a picture card, place it in the box under the arc, and match the picture to its beginning sound (with the exception of boX for X) by rotating the spinning arrow to point to the correct letter. Alternately, students could turn over a card and place it in front of them, rotate the arrow to the correct letter, and then write the letter with a dry erase marker in the box below the arc for additional writing practice. Pictures coordinate with the key words from the Phonics First program, but this product is in no way related to Orton-Gillingham or its affiliates.

Students will LOVE this interactive phonics activity where they select the letter that makes the beginning sound of the pictures shown on the card. With fun sound effects, they will know when they have chosen the correct answer.
