Cut-and-Glue First Grade Math (and a FREEBIE!)

Click on the picture to see this item on Teacher's Notebook.
Click HERE to find it in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. 

Take a look at this set!  It covers ALL of the Common Core Standards for first grade math. As you know, I love activities that combine more than one subject or activity.  In this case, it's MATH AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS.  My students can always use more fine motor and gluing  practice.  How about yours?   

This 53-page set has a cowboy/cowgirl theme, so it CAN BE USED AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.  Plus, since I'm not sure which concepts you are covering when, everything from counting to subtraction is covered.  

This set addresses the following concepts for first grade math . . .

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION (within 20, two-digits +/- one-digit, two-digit +/- a multiple of ten)

NUMBERS TO 120

PLACE VALUE (adding multiples of 10, plus and minus 10, the teens)

ORDER, COMPARE, AND MEASURE OBJECTS BY LENGTH

TIME TO THE HOUR AND HALF-HOUR

REPRESENT DATA WITH UP TO 3 CATEGORIES

BUILD, DRAW, AND DISTINGUISH SHAPES

PARTITION RECTANGLES AND CIRCLES 

and more!  

THIS IS A GREAT, GO-TO SET FOR SEVERAL REASONS. . .

1.  Once you have finished the entire set, your students have covered ALL of the Common Core Standards for first grade math.

2.  The pages make easy assessments. 

3.  It's easy to keep track of which pages have been completed or sent home.  You could even put them into a workbook for each student!

4.  This workbook also makes an engaging math center activity.  Once students have finished a few of the pages, they understand the basic directions.  Many students can complete the pages on their own with minimal help. 

5.  Morning Work!

6.  These pages are great time-fillers in a pinch!  Just have a set handy in case another project/subject is finished early.

7.  Which brings us to the "early finishers" board!   

8.  These are also wonderful, straight-forward homework pages!

9.  The pages can even be added to math journals.

10. Since there is cutting, gluing, and coloring, students have FUN with this set! 

PLUS . . .

There are 6 First Grade Cut-and-Glue Math sets available!

Hands-On Kindergarten Math

I love hands-on, make-a-mess activities!  My students usually do, too!  I also love activities that combine more than one subject or activity.  In this case, it's MATH AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS.  My kinders can ALWAYS use more fine motor and gluing  practice!  

This 52-page set has a zoo theme, so it CAN BE USED AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.  Plus, since I'm not sure which pages you will need at what point during the year, everything from counting to subtraction is covered.  

This set addresses the following kindergarten math skills. . .

COUNTING OBJECTS

WRITING NUMBERS

NUMBERS TO 100

TENS AND ONES (MAKING THE TEENS)

COMPARING NUMBERS

ADDITION WITHIN 5

SUBTRACTION WITHIN 5

A HUGE Science Book Set and a GIVEAWAY!!!

Click on the picture to see this product on Teachers Notebook.
CLICK HERE to find it on Teachers Pay Teachers. 

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be able to FINALLY post this product!  I have been working on it since the end of the last school year.  A couple of the books were finished, but I wanted to wait until I had at least 25 before posting the product.  Here it is!  I found myself always needing more materials to go with our science curriculum.  Plus, I love it when I can integrate science and reading, sending a mini-book home with each student for further reading practice and reflection on our science topic.  My goal is to have books for every topic that we cover.  Here's a picture with all of the books this set contains so far:  

Here's a list of all 27 books that you will find in this set:

1. The Life Cycle of the Butterfly
2. The Life Cycle of the Chicken
3. The Frog Life Cycle
4. The Plant Life Cycle
5. The Life Cycle of the Pumpkin
6. The Life Cycle of the Apple Tree
7. The Five Senses
8. My Body
9. All About Insects
10. All About Amphibians
11. All About Reptiles
12. What is a Mammal?
13. All About Fish
14. All About Birds
15. All About Penguins
16. All About Hibernation
17. Forest Animals
18. Desert Animals
19. Arctic Animals
20. Ocean Animals
21. Rainforest Animals
22. Float and Sink
23. The Weather
24. The Water Cycle
25. The States of Matter
26. That is Gravity!
27. All About Magnets                              AND STILL COUNTING!

Each book comes in 2 versions.  Version A has shorter sentences and easier language/more sight words when possible.  You have no idea how difficult this is for science topics!  So, here's my disclaimer:  I tried my best to make Version A as simple as I could while still covering the material.  Version B has longer sentences, more specific science vocabulary, and a little more information about the topic.  Even with my kinders, I found that some of my students needed more of a challenge.  They were ready to read science books with more detail.  So, I made sure to create 2 versions of books.  

If you simply love this set (like I do!), then you can grab it on sale for 50% off (only $6!!!) thru midnight CST on Friday, July 18th.  Click here to see it on Teacher's Notebook.  Click here to see it on Teachers Pay Teachers.  THIS WILL INCLUDE ALL FUTURE BOOKS THAT ARE ADDED TO THIS SET!  My intention is to keep adding books until either the file gets too large to upload or it reaches 50 books.  Then, I might start a second set!
