Every year when the first week rolls around, I am always scrambling to get my math plans together. I know I want to teach rules and classroom community, but where does math fit into all that? This unit gives you 7 math lessons/activities that are perfect for those first few days of school! You'll be ready to hit the ground running with your little mathematicians!
Included in this unit:
*Activity 1: Let's Talk About Math- students will chart what they know/want to know, class chart labels included
*Activity 2: Math Tools Exploration- a recording sheet that students will use while exploring your math manipulatives!
*Activity 3: Tools or Toys- Students will cut/glue to sort math tools vs toys. Large cards for a classroom chart are also included.
*Activity 4: Silent Puzzles- An activity to introduce cooperative learning!
*Activity 5: Mathematicians Craftivity- Students make a mathematician and write about it (All templates included) ***Please note that the mathematician only comes with boy hair, more of an Einstein inspiration rather than students making a version of themselves!
*Activity 6: Draw and Solve- word problems
*Activity 7: Making Numbers Flapbook- Students cut/glue to sort addition/subtraction sentences under the correct flap

I love these so much and am very excited to use them in my classroom. The toy sort is such a great idea for any grade level and I love the idea about the mathematician! Wonderful and thank you!

Would you be willing to sell just the crafty mathematician activity on its own?

This is just a comment and not a big problem but I noticed when printing the Silent Puzzles that the School House and the Calculator are both numbered Puzzle #4. Just confused me for a second and then I figured out it was just a type. Just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to correct it! I am printing out the puzzles as I type this and am working on putting together my first week activities! Thanks again for your fantastic products!

Thank you for letting me know! Definitely want even minor errors fixed :)

I love your "Let's Get Started (Beginning of the Year Math)" unit! I'm going through deciding how to incorporate the product into my LPs. I was wondering if you have girl version of the mathematician character as well? I just feel bad making my girls use "boy" mathematician. Thanks for letting me know!
August 14, 2012
Amy Lemons (TpT Seller)
I didn't make a girl version... I was going for more of an Einstein version of the craft. Sorry!

Do you teach second? I am new to second this year and I wondered if these were mainly geared to second grade, especially the coop. puzzles.
August 13, 2012
Amy Lemons (TpT Seller)
Yes, I teach 2nd grade. I am using them in my first week plans :)

I will be teaching a 3/4th grade bridge class this year. In your opinion are these activities appropriate for 4th graders? They look like a lot of fun, and I would love your input! Thank you! I love your ideas!
August 13, 2012
Amy Lemons (TpT Seller)
Some of the activities you will be able to use with your 4th graders, but you may not be able to use all of them.
