This is a collection of 10 blackline masters, including a set of elapsed time problems for use with time. There are masters that can be used as writing prompts and journal entries as well as graphic organizers and tolls for supporting students work with time. This resource is good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. Please take a moment to review this resource.

Primary mathematicians first model “put together” and “take apart” situations using concrete objects, drawings, etc. These concepts are then expanded to composing and decomposing numbers additively. A connection to students’ prior work with building sets is important as students are developing fluencies with their addition and subtractions facts. Children need many opportunities to experience these situations. Incorporating seasonal manipulatives allows children to practice these mathematical ideas in a contextual setting. To effectively facilitate these activities, be sure to cover the common addition and subtraction situations found in Table 1, CCSSM, page 88. Color masters are provided for both activities, the seasonal objects as well as the counters. Hyperlinks are also provided for manipulatives when applicable.

One Duck Stuck, by Phyllis Root, is a beloved children’s book. Not only does the story engage children it can also serve as a foundation for many mathematical investigations for primary mathematicians. These lessons draw from the counting and cardinality standards. Children love playing with dominoes. These two sets of dominoes offer children a chance to practice their subitizing skills as well as strengthening their sense of number. Dominoes are great for young children because they are so simple to use. Questions are provided that can be used during the development of the activity to determine the desired focus of the lesson. It is very important that young mathematicians understand that numbers are quantities represented by numerals, pictures, numerals, etc. Materials are listed for each of the activities. The 42 pages include both black line masters as well as color masters have been provided. Suggestions for preparing the materials have been noted as well to facilitate making classroom sets for long term use. 36 pages of blackline and color masters 4 pages of facilitation notes, extensions, and sample questions This resource is good for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

Dominoes are one of the older and more versatile of manipulatives. Dominoes serve as a concrete representation for many mathematical concepts. The use of dominoes can serve as a bridge for many students to the more abstract understandings that need to be developed. Using dominoes to generate fractions, equations, and expressions engages students in a way that just working on a typical worksheet does not. Also, dominoes can be used to differentiate for diverse student levels as well as diverse problem sets. Having students select dominoes to generate a set of problems provides opportunities for students to thoughtfully think about the components of the problem as they are creating it. This collection of activities for secondary mathematicians offers a variety of experiences using dominoes. Activity pages including unknowns and comparisons, domino equations, and domino ratios are provided. Multiple charts per page are provided as well as blank charts for extensions. The two per page and four per page will fit nicely into the Mathematician’s Notebook. This resource is great for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

Literacy and art connections, as well as geometric connections, provide opportunities for students to build understandings as they are working with place value. Several ideas and activities are given as well as a power point are included in this packet. This resource is good for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

By the intermediate grades, students have had many experiences with both 2D and 3D geometric objects. Their studies become more sophisticated as they are describing and classifying shapes based upon their attributes. They are also working with perimeter, area, and volume. Student reasoning, discussion, writing, and argumentation should be expected to show this more sophisticated level of understanding. However, some students may still need some review on the basic geometric figures and their attributes. Geometry in the intermediate grades should be just as experiential as it was in the primary years. Students are better able to articulate their findings and justifications for their spatial reasoning investigations. These five activities offer literacy connections, opportunities for writing, extensions and adaptations for diverse learners, money connections, and suggestions for the Art teacher in supporting mathematics. The sorting mat is also given separately to print 11X17 inches. This resource is good for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

The study of geometry and the world around us begins before primary mathematicians start school. Beginning mathematics should be able to identify shapes and solids, with a focus on their properties and relationship for developing abstract thinking and making conjectures. Primary students describe, represent, and investigate relationships within a geometric system. Children verbally describe two and three-dimensional objects and give examples as well as draw representations of both. These four activities are suitable for both large group and small group as well as centers or learning stations. They can be extended and differentiated to meet the needs of diverse students. Literacy and writing connections are also given. The sorting mat is also given separately to print 11X17 inches for primary mathematicians to use.
