Creating a substitute folder each year is always difficult. I never want to use the sheets I will need later for a lesson. This is why I created this packet. It is for when I am out for a day or two and have to have a substitute in a emergency situation. This packet works well for most grade levels 2nd grade and up. It allows students to use creativity and flexibility in their thinking while the teacher is out. There are 5 different activities that include art, writing, mathematics, and cre
This worksheet helps students to identify the difference between point, line, plane and solid. It begins by having the students draw and label a picture of each geometric element. The next step is to indicate how many dimensions a point, line, plane or solid exists upon. Finally, there is a fill-in-the-blank activity. Can be used with geometry nomenclature cards.
Really hone in on understanding all pieces to our 3D shapes with this activity. Students will use the worksheet to record their counts after creating 3D shapes with clay and toothpicks. As a challenge, have your early finishers use those shapes to create a castle. My students love this activity, and it's amazing to hear 2nd graders using such vocabulary correctly.
