Set of sticks that contain the multiplication times tables from 1-9. Students can use these on their own or whole group.
Students lay the stick with the (X) at the top to the left and match up a number stick on the right, to complete a times table.
This is a template I used for my Living and Non-Living unit. The students had to select one thing that was Living and one thing that was Non-Living, draw a picture of each, then write the name of the things they picked and the vocabulary word.
EX: The boy is living. The car is non-living.
Collect them and bind them for a class book. Or set it up as an independent activity in a science or literacy center with vocabulary words.
This is another wonderful resource for your Ocean Unit. A selection of original clipart paired with vocabulary words and HFW for use in a pocket chart center, or individual word work.

This is a collection of 55 pages of math activities I have used with K-2nd grade students as individual math centers and for guided math. The activities are aligned around Counting, Ordering, Sorting, Numeracy, Ordinal Numbers, Tally Marks, Place Value, Base 10 Blocks, Time to Hour and Half Hour, Graphing, and Number Words.
This is a great experiment (and just in time for HALLOWEEN) to do with younger students that is engaging, fun, and utilizes the Scientific Method with math. Simply put, the students will make a prediction about how many licks it will take them to reach the chocolate center of the Tootsie Pop, and then analyze their answers with their peers.
It's a great starter experiment to the Scientific Method, that introduces about making predictions, documenting our work throughout the experiment, comparing answers to predictions, and looking at additional factors that could have affected the outcome.
It also incorporates different types of math (methods of counting) to document the licks. This allows you to see how each individual child attends to counting, especially up to larger numbers.
**Please note, if a child cannot finish their lollipop or cannot reach the chocolate center, have them stop and record their licks as is.**
Included in this pack are:
A front and back recording sheet for the experiment (print 1 per student)
A set of instruction cards that depict the steps of the experiment
Visual aids for certain steps in the experiment for lower ability students.
Be adventurous and allow students to work on this as a science or math center!
