Build Your Own Clock! No-Prep Hands-On Activity for Learning to Tell Time
This no-prep hands-on activity gives students the chance to build their very own clock with working hands! The student compares their work with a real clock in the classroom to determine where to paste each number and which hand is the minutes or hour hand. Then, using a brad (and maybe a bit of help from the teacher!) they can attach their clock hands to the clock face and use this tool to begin to make their own times. My students LOVED quizzing each other with these and getting to make it the

Sudoku One-Pager
My kids love doing sudoku, but often times, I'm the one introducing them to the game. I usually go over how to do it as a class and give a few examples of my approach, but it can be a lot of information at once. It can be rough to sit down and help each child work through a puzzle on their own. I made this one-pager as a reference sheet when kids are just learning how. The goal was to explain my rationale for solving a puzzle as well as find a way to make it more visual, hence the color-coding.
