Christmas Number Puzzles, Counting to 10

Christmas Number Puzzles, Counting to 10

(0)
This Christmas themed activity is a great way for your students to work on their math, number, counting, fine motor and problem solving skills. As well as all these skills, this activity will provide your students with the opportunity to look at images of Christmas and use these as a talking point. The puzzles come in 3 different difficulty levels; • Level 1 - 0-3 • Level 2 - 0-5 • Level 3 - 0-10 There is a range of ways that these can be used in your classroom such as; • Print out the b/w puzzles, cut them up and hand them out to your students. Have your students put the puzzles together, sticking them onto a piece of paper/into their work book, then colour them in. • Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle. • Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (i recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle. Laminate the puzzle pieces. Have your students match the individual pieces onto the completed puzzle. This provides a lower ability option for students struggling. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual task cards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their ten frame counting skills. Comes in both b/w and col option for your printing preference.

Frog Matching, Colour Recognition, Color Recognition

(0)
This frog themed activity is a great way for your students to work on their colour sorting / color sorting skills. This resource can either be used as a simple colour matching activity where students have to match the same colour frog to the lily pad, or you can use the instruction task cards included. The instruction task cards contain a small instruction (with symbol support) for students to read/listen to and then follow. For example ‘put 3 blue frogs on the green lily pad.’ The task cards are a great way to see if your students are not only able to read the instruction, but to also take meaning and understanding from it and know what to do next. The vocabulary is suitable for American or British classrooms. (Color, Colour etc.) Instructions • Print out the lily pad pages and laminate them. • Print out the frogs, cut them out individually and laminate them. • Print out the task cards if using and laminate them. • Students can then either match the colour frogs to the matching lily pad or use the instruction task cards to complete the activity.

Guy Fawkes Ten Frame Task Cards, Bonfire Night

(0)
This download includes task cards with ten frames 0 - 10. Students have to count how many stars are in the ten frame and then select the correct answer out of 3 choices on the bottom of the task card. Come in color/colour or black and white option. Instructions are included on the first page of PDF file. 2 task cards come on each page. I recommend cutting and laminating each task card individually, by laminating the task cards you will find they are stronger and longer lasting. This means you can use them year in, year out for your students, just pulling them out of the cupboard and you can wipe them clean after your students have finished with them! Great for number/counting practice especially for Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night.
