This is a collection of 33 different Cuisenaire Rod "Truck Puzzles" that you can print, laminate and set up as math stations: they can be printed in groups of three to a page or individually. Degree of difficulty ranges from 2 to 3 to 4 rods to make a solution. Beautifully designed, fun to use with those Cuisenaire rods that are probably sitting around with no place to go and nothing to do.

Ah yes, nice to see you back again. This is a number comparison activity I developed for my first grade teacher, but I've also used it with my kindergarteners and pre-k. It's cute, but not cutesy. Students take a number tile and place it on the game sheet at the top. They then take additional number tiles and decide whether it is an "elephant" (bigger than the number at the top) or "mouse" (smaller than the number at the top) and paste the correct stamp in the second column. A second version i

The Bump Game (& Variations) is an activity where kindergarten students learn how to count up and count down from a given number and then practice that skill using "bump up" and "bump down" cards. There are supersized cards that you can use to demonstrate the activity with the class, as well as individual games that students can play in pairs. As a bonus, I've included "DIY" games that you or students can make on their own. Enjoy! Customer Tips: How to get TPT credit to use on future purchase
