This worksheet can be used to practice counting nickels and pennies. The math textbook series my first graders use combines nickels and pennies in the addition unit in conjunction with "count on" addition. I tried to use money in a variety of ways to engage students!
These lessons are part of a deep ocean unit. Contains a chart for students to label the different zones of the ocean as well as a chart to keep track of different animal/creature adaptations in different zones.
Also contains an activity for students to create their own imaginary creature designed to live in one specific zone of the ocean based off specific adaptations. Students will then do an "All about _____" writing activity and describe their animal.
Students fold this in half, and cut apart on the dotted lines. In the flaps, I had students write the definition of the different triangle types as well as draw an example.
Intro to penny and nickel. This poem is pretty common for teaching coins. I am going to ask my students to color the coins the appropriate color and then in the chart practice writing the coin value and drawing a simplified picture (a 1 or a 5 in a circle).
I created this lesson for my first grade students for Halloween! I will pass out 10 candy corn "manipulatives" to each student and we will practice being pumpkin dentists! We will line up the candy corn as teeth on the pumpkin and then subtract! The worksheet will go along with the activity for more practice.
This worksheet builds understanding of angle types. Students must first look at the angle and identify it as acute, obtuse or right. They must then write what this means (less than 90 degrees, more than 90, or exactly 90). Students must then measure the angle using a protractor and identify if their measurement makes sense.
Here is a unit I created for my first graders this election season. We are going to read the book "Duck for President" and "My Teacher for President" and make campaign posters for both candidates. We will then talk about the voting process leading up to our classroom election. We will then evaluate the votes and graph the results! Teach your students our civic responsibility in this easy unit that ties in literacy and math.
This game focuses on the short E sound and can be used in any grade. It was designed for my first grade students but could be used at any level where short E skills need practice. Features Angry Birds on all of the cards to help engage students!
Practice reading numbers and determining place value. Also works to practice standard and expanded form. Aligned to 4th grade common core, but could easily be adapted to 2nd and 3rd grade as place value plays a role in both. Students love to play this game and are so excited to choose a "cheese" card or see who has to put all their cards back because of the pesky cat!
This is a code breaking activity that I designed to introduce a lesson on buoyancy. The students then created tin foil boats to try and hold the greatest number of marbles. This code practices grid skills which are important for graphing.
Students will use different colored chips to illustrate addition equations and then write the number values in the boxes. Used for a beginning lesson in first grade on addition and creating addition equations.
I created this activity to discuss the properties of solids and liquids. As an introduction activity, I first had students brainstorm different solids and liquids. We then discussed different properties of their brainstormed list. I then gave students a "recipe" card and we discussed the properties of all of the ingredients in slime. Good activity to reinforce this concept and low mess due to creating slime in individual bags.
