This interactive lesson introduces Kindergarten and first-grade students to the commutative property of addition using 'number flip-flops' to show that changing the order of addends doesn't change the sum.
A mini-mystery centered around a kitchen scene where students use observation and logic to solve a visual puzzle.
A hands-on lesson where students explore visual patterns using picnic-themed items to build early algebraic thinking skills. Students identify, extend, and create their own sequences using fruits, snacks, and picnic gear.
A foundational lesson on clock anatomy, focusing on identifying hour numbers and five-minute increments. Students practice spatial reasoning and number sequencing within a circular layout.
A fun, hands-on activity where students identify numbers 0-20 to reveal a hidden garden critter. Perfect for practicing number recognition and fine motor skills.
A hands-on measurement lesson where students use non-standard units to measure paper plants, fostering number sense and comparison skills through movement-based learning.
A series of math quests where students practice addition and subtraction within 20. Through medieval-themed challenges, students build fluency using ten-frames and number lines.
A series of medieval-themed math challenges focusing on addition and subtraction fluency within 20. Students use visual models like ten-frames and number lines to solve operational problems.
A first-grade lesson focused on partitioning shapes and identifying equal parts as halves and fourths (quarters). Students will practice shading partitioned shapes and completing descriptive sentences using fraction vocabulary.
A K-2 math lesson focusing on solving addition and subtraction word problems using part-part-whole mats, bar models, and number lines, while applying counting on/back and making-a-ten strategies.
This lesson introduces addition within 20 through the 'Make Ten' strategy and Number Bonds. Students progress from using physical counters to visual ten frames and finally to abstract equations.
Targeted practice for identifying numbers 20-40 through rapid-fire visual drills and kinesthetic activities. Focuses on overcoming the 'teen' vs 'ty' confusion and building reliable recall.
A comprehensive introduction to 3D geometric shapes including cubes, spheres, rectangular prisms, cones, pyramids, and cylinders. Students will learn to identify these shapes, count their attributes (faces, edges, vertices), and find them in the real world.
A fun, monster-themed lesson focused on identifying and naming numbers 1-20 through a hands-on 'Roll and Cover' game. Students practice subitizing and number recognition in a playful, low-stakes environment.
A comprehensive math review lesson designed to reinforce key elementary math skills including logical ordering, 2-digit subtraction, geometric attributes, and equal parts/fractions. This lesson uses a repeated "at-bat" structure to build mastery through multiple variations of the same problem format.
A math review packet focusing on basic addition, subtraction, number combinations, and visual representation of groups, including a student worksheet and an answer key.
A 3-day lesson series covering the partitioning of circles and rectangles into equal shares (halves and fourths/quarters) through baking.
