Use these balance scale handouts to help students: -understand the meaning of the equal sign -work with addition equations -work with addition equations relating two and three whole numbers -demonstrate fluency for addition within 10 (making 10) Use these for Common Core State Standards for Mathematics 1.OA.6 & 1.OA.7 & 1.OA.8

Students bring in their favorite color apple and graph the results. Included in this attachment is a ready-made parent letter and a ready-to-use graph for students to graph the class results. Use this lesson in the fall (September 26th is Johnny Appleseed's birthday) to introducing graphs and math language like "more than," "less than," "equal," etc.

This book contains a fun 100 "fill in the blank" sentence for children to get creative with. This book allows students to draw/write 100 things that they would like to have, would NOT like to have, would like to smell, would NOT like to smell, etc.

Here are a few basic subtraction word problems using numbers up to 20. Students read the story, use the pictures to help, and create a subtraction number sentence.

Students choose their favorite color Easter Egg (and decorate it too!). Students will collect data using tally marks, then they will organize the data into a representational bar graph. There are simple questions to answer to assess how they analyze the data. Included: Lesson outline, egg pattern, tally boxes, bar graph, questions. CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.C.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how

These small posters show the number parts of numbers 5-10. Instead of a + sign, they are presented with the word "and" in each number sentence. Once students have firmed up the meaning of "and," you may transition to the + sign easily (and eventually the = sign). I send home these posters so that students can practice with parents/guardians. I laminate them and use them in math centers/stations as well. They may be enlarged and hung in the classroom as well.

These small posters list the number parts of 5 through 20 using the + sign. it also uses the language "the same as" so that children can easily transition to the = sign later on. Use these handouts as take home practice, laminate them to use in centers, or post them in your classroom.

Survey the class giving them 2 options. (ie: Are you right-handed or left-handed? Do you like Winter or Summer better? Do you like white chocolate or milk chocolate better?). Use tally marks to record each student's response. Transfer that data to this ready-made graph. Students write a title and labels, analyze the class data to create a bar graph, then answer simple questions. The graph is generic enough to use with any 2 choice survey question, but detailed enough to be effective. (There are

Each calling card has a simple math problem to solve. Once students solve the problem, they mark the number on their LUCKY card. Math includes: tallies, doubles, basic addition, place value, etc.
