Curated OER
Measuring Lengths Using Rulers
A visual measuring exercise that lends itself nicely to an all-class warm up, especially as it doesn't provide room for scholars to write in answers on the sheet itself. They examine 10 rulers and determine the length in either inches,...
Curated OER
Match the Shapes
Match the shapes! There are multiple potential objectives here as young scholars match shapes using different colored lines. There are four starter shapes and learners draw lines connecting them to matching shapes from a larger group....
Curated OER
In the Right Order
What comes first? Practice order of events with this sequencing activity. Learners examine two sets of pictures and write 1st, 2nd, and 3rd beneath the corresponding pictures. Encourage them to explain their reasoning, as there may be...
Curated OER
Adding Dice
Roll the dice! These addition number sentences are for beginning mathematicians, and each addend is displayed on a die. Learners add up two or three single-digit addends to find eight sums in the first half of this worksheet. Next, they...
Curated OER
Addition Grid
Which of these numbers add up to 20? Scholars find various addend pairs in a grid, circling those that add up to 20. There are many pairs they can find here, and the answer sheet offers some excellent kinesthetic practice ideas for...
Curated OER
Color the Pattern
This geometric pattern will appeal to learners' artistic sides as they color various shapes based on a guide: they color circles blue, triangles red, squares green, and rectangles yellow. What does this finished design remind scholars...
Curated OER
Comparing
Practice the comparison words lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, smaller, and bigger using this visual chart. For each set of three objects, pupils order them according to one of these terms. The six terms are illustrated...
Curated OER
Extending Geometric Patterns
Which square comes next? Each of these sequences is made up of patterned squares in a continuing order. Learners examine more squares to choose which one(s) would correctly continue the pattern. None of these have very complex sequences;...
Curated OER
Patterns
Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....
Curated OER
Coordinate Graphs
As you introduce coordinate graphs to scholars, be sure to use guided worksheets like this one. Using an example for guidance, they write the coordinates of five points on a graph, each distinguished as a shape symbol. Next, scholars do...
Curated OER
Coordinates
For beginning point plotters, these graphs give a good introduction. They examine a graph with shapes drawn onto it and each vertex labeled. There are 20 total, and scholars write the coordinates of each labeled point. All of these are...

Draw the Shape ~ Counting Rectangles
It's all about rectangles here, and young geometers begin by following a dotted outline to trace the shape, then print one of their own. Next, they examine three pictures to count the rectangles in each. Learners practice writing...
Curated OER
Do You Know?: Days, Months, Minutes, and Hours
It's all about time as scholars focus on years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds to practice these concepts. First they put all 12 months back in order, numbering them 1st, 2nd, etc. Two are done for them. Next, there are...
Curated OER
Decimal Place Value
What is the place value of the digit 5? Explore decimals to the ten-thousandths place with these place value identification problems. For the first eight, pupils write down the place of a specific digit in various numbers. Next, scholars...

3 Fewer Than
How fun! Beginning counters practice with subtraction concepts as they draw apples onto trees and focus on the term fewer. The first tree pictured here has nine apples, and they count and record the number. On the next tree (which...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
This engaging coordinate pairs activity will have scholars intrigued; they mark 13 points on a grid and then connect them to create a capital block letter. Which one will it be? The grid has whole numbers 0-10 along both axes, so...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write the...
Curated OER
Hopping by 2s, part 2
Explore skip counting by twos with young mathematicians as they complete these engaging activities. First, they color in squares to represent counting by twos in an even sequence and an odd sequence. Next, they connect dots (by twos) to...
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
Find the pattern! Eighteen number sequences challenge scholars to identify and complete the pattern, adding at least four digits to the given numbers. All the sequences here involve skip counting by various single-digit numbers,...
Curated OER
Problems with Measures
Yards or inches? Understanding measurements has a lot to do with units, so give scholars some scenarios and have them choose the appropriate unit. There are six labeled images here requiring weight, distance, length, and capacity. They...
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
Although this fractions exercise may seem difficult at first, it's really quite simple and intended for beginners to mixed numbers. Scholars complete 15 number sequences by adding two or three mixed numbers or decimal numbers. However,...

Learning 2 - Write the Word
Focus on the number two with beginning counters as they review its word form, number form, and value. First, learners practice printing the word two, tracing it before writing it once on their own. Next, they draw two bunnies and...

Learning 9 - Write the Number
As novice counters learn numbers 0-10, use this exercise to focus on the number nine. They begin by tracing and printing the numeral several times. Next, learners count sets of stars and record the totals, all of which are nine....
