Well It's back
to school time and as an educator it can be a bittersweet feeling. While it's an
exciting time for our kids and in many ways for teachers, it can get overwhelming! As
most teachers know the feeling of waiting to get your keys
to get into your classroom, the journey begins of working furiously to
organize, decorate, throw out, and file - all at the same time. Then if you have any energy left comes the
meat of the whole process of preparing for school! THE PLANNING!
So I’m here to offer some back to school resources to simplify your
life!

Before moving on to learning other math concepts, a crucial math skill is to recognize and understand number relationships. Developing a deep understanding of numbers is the basis in which all other math skills can be applied. While you’re running guided reading groups, young student’s attention span is short and will need to be creating and doing hands on activities. So why not cut, color, and glue large numbers? At the same time they are reinforcing number words, ten frames, tally marks and domino relationships. I use these pages as independent practice during the time that I need to run guided reading and math groups. It also makes a great math center as well as seatwork for early finishers or homework. This packet is designed to engage our youngest learners in hands on math art work that requires others skills such as fine motor skills. It will work for pre-k and K as well as other early primary grades where students need remediation.
These challenging task cards are designed to review language
concepts such as top, middle, bottom, left, right, over, under, in front, and
behind. The teaching and reinforcing of these concepts not only strengthen
language skills but will also gain a stronger understanding of math concepts.
The activities are also geared to improve students listening skills by
listening to clues and following multi-step directions. These concepts are
listed in the Common Core Language Standards for both Kindergarten and First
grade. The activities can be used as a morning warm up, seat work during
language time, warm-up to math activities, or at the end of the day. Linking
cubes will be required to use for the activities or the students may color and
cut the cubes that are included. Response sheets, journal prompts, and answer
key included.
