This template will give your students a fun way to model numbers and determine if they are even or odd. Using crayons, markers, or counters, students can show a number on the ladybug. Students will know that it is an even number if there are the same number of dots on each wing of the ladybug. Students will know it is an odd number if there are not the same number of dots on each wing the ladybug. This activity can also be laminated to be used with counters and dry erase markers in a math center

This AI and AY word sort is a great phonics activity. This sort includes two sets of words to differentiate the activity. This is a great independent activity, partner activity, or phonics center activity!
