Teaching Dragons

This little freebie is for my kinders to better understand that numbers can be made in several different ways. We have been working on the numbers 0-5 so far this year, and this activity allows them to work in partners using 5 double-sided counters to spill out and form a number sentence (4+1=5) and then search for that number sentence on the game board's grid. Once they find it, they can color it in with a designated color. Then it is their partner's turn and the process repeats. When all o

This is a packet of ten-frames designed around turkey clipart images. There are a total of four sets of work mats, with 6 in each set. On each work mat is a box with a polka-dot border. There are sets of cards with matching borders that should be used with those ten-frames. One set of cards has the digit and a set of dots, another set has just digits, and the third set has just sets of dots. Using candy corn or counters, they will pick a card and fill their ten-frame to match that number.

***I blogged about this here!!*** This packet includes 11 different activities with a panda bear theme.

Activities Included Are: Counting Pandas 1-20 ~ counting sets Ten and Some More Pandas ~ creating teen numbers Panda Pairs Color Memory ~ matching color to color word Pack of Pandas Easy Reader ~ focuses on counting pandas & writi

This activity was designed to help my kinders with learning their partners of 5 and 10 (also called fact families). There are four different pet-themed scenes with the equations hidden somewhere in them. My littles will use a magnifying glass to hunt for the equations and then write them down on the recording sheets. Great for a center/station or small group. This file includes: ~two mats for the partners of 5 (w/answer keys) ~two mats for the partners of 10 (w/answer keys) ~two differentiat

This activity was designed to help my students recognize and understand that two numbers can be put together to make a larger number. Since I have so many different levels of ability in my room, I wanted an activity that could be easily differentiated. Students will need double-sided counters and BINGO dotters to complete this activity. They will use their sorting mats to help make the number sentence, and then find it on the recording sheet and dot it. I hope you littles enjoy this activity!

This snowy activity is to help students identify the partners of 5. Students use double-sided counters (or the make the counters in the packet) to create the number partners of 5 and then find those partners on a recording sheet and dot them with a BINGO dotter. My students really enjoyed playing this game, and I hope yours do too!! Enjoy, Erin

This activity was created to help my littles with mastering their addition facts up to 10. It is designed to be put at a center, used in small group, or with an RTI group. Students sort various equations based on their sum. This packet includes: ~igloo sorting mats 1-10 ~Arctic-themed cards with all addition equations for numbers 1-10 ~two differentiated assessment sheets Please leave me a comment and let me know how you used this in your classroom! If you notice any typos/etc. with this pr

This is a simple card game that will help students to find the sum and/or difference of two sets of numbers. Students work in partners and each turn over a card. The student with the highest number has to find either the sum of the two cards or the difference between them. Included are two sets of cards, one set with only a numeral from 1-10 and the other with a numeral and a set to match. There is also a very simple counting mat which students can use to help them find the sum or difference
