Subtraction Facts Study Guide 

This page is a study guide to help children learn their subtraction facts. Blow it up and make a poster, give each child a copy in their math folder, and send a copy home.

Choose an Operation 

This page comes from the work of Madeline Hunter. It was originally a post on Teachers.net contributed by Jan Fisher. We saved this excellent little gem in our files and decided to pull it out as a worthy piece to share with other teachers.

Division Notes 

This page can be copied and distributed to students for their math folders for your division unit. The page includes division steps and terms.

Double Trouble Math Booklet

This math booklet can be reproduced and bound so each student may have a copy while working on "doubles" addition facts. Students use words, numbers, and pictures for each of the digits in the book to show their understanding of doubles.

Geo-Squiggles 

Give each student a page, or put the pages together for a book. This creative booklet gives students the opportunity to turn geometric shapes into something real. For example, a student might turn a rectangle into a fish tank or a cone into an ice cream cone.

Graphing Bags 

You can use this file to create a math lab or a math center. Gather a bag of each of the items. Provide students with graph paper and a bag of items to graph. They will create a graph based on the items in the graphing bag.

The Important Book About Shapes 

Here is another book for your students called, "The Important Book About Shapes." Students identify the critical attributes of each shape in order to create their "important book." This activity is based on The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown.

Shapes Book 

This is another Geo-Squiggles book designed for primary grades. Students turn shapes into different objects. It's a creative and fun activity.

Checks 

Make copies of this page so your students can practice writing numbers in money form on checks. You can use these checks for a classroom "banking" program.

Sundae Facts 

Practice those facts! Offer your students an incentive for learning their facts. For each set of facts learned they get to color in the Sundae Facts chart. At the end of a designated period of time, students are rewarded with Sundaes. Of course, if they didn't learn the facts for the spoon they may have a bit of trouble eating their sundae!
