Introducing Rhythm: Half-, Quarter-, and Eighth Notes

How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...

Young mathematicians may not love fractions, but do they love sandwiches? How about cake? Use this visual fractions activity to represent fractions in a relatable way. Scholars start by coloring segmented shapes to indicate halves and...

Is it half? There are three sections to this introductory fractions learning exercise focusing on halves. First graders begin by coloring half of five basic shapes, each of which already is divided into two parts. Next, they examine four...

Down on the Farm is the theme of this series of ESL lessons designed to support reading, speaking, and listening skills. Over three weeks, your learners will have the opportunity to sing songs, play guessing games, create masks, role...

Telling time is an important skill. Beginners to this concept determine the time to the nearest half hour using both digital and analog clocks. There are two examples here demonstrating the form scholars should use when recording each...

Young learners read 2 examples of how to write fractions to show how much of a rectangle is shaded. Then students look at  9 diagrams of rectangles that have shaded areas. They write the fractional equivalent. Then they shade 3...

Whether used to introduce learners to fractions or as a comprehension assessment, this two-part, cross-curricular learning exercise will give readers a chance to test their understanding of fractions.

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

The perception of rhythms by reading and the ability to auditorily discriminate these rhythm patterns by listening to them performed by the teacher is practiced here. your students will work to create an eight-beat long rhythm pattern.

Early learners work with whole, half, and quarter circles. They first work with paper circles and keep two circles whole, cut one in half and one in quarters. They glue these on paper to form a bunny shape as they identify the...
