MATHEMATICS
I'm slowly working on reorganizing the Math sections so things are easier to find based on concept. So things may move to a new math drop down menu, but it will still be here! If you are using Go Math, check out the NEW Standards Based Grading assessments under the Go Math drop down menu!
FACEBOOK There is a Facebook group called "First Grade Go Math" that has files, helps, ideas, and a place to ask questions with teachers across the country. There are 5e lesson plans, Power Points, Kahoot game links, center plans, Practice Test questions, Data Tracker, and Journal Prompts for each lesson/chapter. It's run by a teacher in Florida - ToNya Kipe. Log on and get new ideas today! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1195466863829819/

Practice Standards
|
Simple 8.5x11 posters of each math practice standard in 1st grade language! I kept some of the vocabulary terms like 'precise' and 'persevere' since those are the terms used in the practice standard verbiage in the core. 1st graders can easily understand those terms when it is explicitly taught and used. I hang these above my white board so I can easily refer to them throughout my lessons.

Just remember to use the acronym CUBES. This poster will help!

Number Sense & Operations
Several cards of each number 0 - 9. Use in many different games or activities to build numbers. One set should have at least 4 of each number 0-9. The OA drop down menu has a file with several more games to play than what is listed here.
Top It / War: Each partner draws a card. The person with the greatest (or you could play least) number gets both cards. Repeat until all cards have been used. 2 Digit Top It: Each partner draws 2 cards and tries to make the largest possible number. The partner who has made the largest 2-digit number gets all four cards. Repeat until all cards have been used.

This has totally changed how I teach 10 frames! And the kids love it! It uses the idea of a bus with 10 seats and the others have to wait at the bus stop since there is not enough room on the bus. The bus board itself is great to use to introduce the ten frame, add 10 plus more, and to make a 10 to find the sum. This game can be played in partners to help students understand and practice the 10 frame concepts. Directions are included in the file along with response sheets and script cards.

Match the ice cream scoops to the cone with the correct number. Includes practice for number words, tallies, base 10 blocks, tens and ones, and addition. Cone numbers are 0-20 then by tens from 30 - 110. Also includes blank scoops to add your own practice skills.
(Could also use in language arts for alphabetizing words in spelling, vocabulary, etc. by writing the words on the scoops then putting them in order from 1 to however many scoops you are using.)
Four different ways of looking at the "Part, Part, Whole" relationships of addition and subtraction. I use these when we are trying to find an unknown addend, sum, different, or subtrahend in a problem so students can see visually what the numbers represent.
Copy cards on cardstock and cut.
Whole Class Play: 2/3 of the class gets a number card and 1/3 gets a < or > card. Students then make a group of 3 to make a true sentence using their 2 number cards and a greater or less than card. If you copy two sets of numbers, you could also include equal to. Partner Play: Copy a set for each partnership. First player places two number cards on the table and the second player places the < or > between the numbers. Students record their results. |
Students write a number in the center column. (Students could draw a number card from the 1 - 120 deck, draw two single digit cards and put them together to make a number, pick any number from the 100 grid, or the numbers could even be written in the center column previous to handing out the worksheet to have them practice needed numbers.) Students then write the number that comes before in each of the 2 columns at the beginning and the 2 numbers that come after in the columns after the center number so they are in counting order from right to left when they are finished with the line. Or the Make Ten More version is the number that is 10 before and 10 after the number in the middle.
I place these posters at the front of my room and refer to them every time we do a story problem. They have key words students can use as clues to know if it's add or subtract. A great tool for ELL students! As we come across new terms, we add them to the chart.

Place Value
Taken from TeacherTipster.com. Great ideas there if you haven't checked it out!
A list of five activities students can do at home.
This is a set of cards with base 10 blocks representing the numbers 0-35. Played like Number Top It (War) listed above. Cards are all placed in a pile upside down. Each player draws a card and counts the number of base 10 blocks. The person with the greatest (or least) number gets all the cards for that round. Each player draws again and continues play until the cards are gone.

Students roll a 0-9 cube and have to decide in which place value to put the digit in order to build the greatest (or least) number. Can be played whole group or with partners. I have my students do it in crayon so they can't go back and change the numbers around after another number is rolled. After each line I also have them decide what the greatest (or least) possible number could have been. If that was the number they made, they can put a star or smiley face next to the number. There is a tens and ones, hundreds, and thousands place value chart to choose from.

These base 10 cards show tens and ones from 0 to 35. You can use these to play war (top it) where students each pick a card and the one who has the highest number wins everyone's cards that round. You could also use them along with the number cards to match the base 10 cards to the numeral.

Measurement & Graphing
Have students fill in the bar graph with data they have collected as a class or on their own!
Students collect their own data, create a bar graph, then use the same information to create a tally chart.
Find the missing letter for each of the given coordinates to discover the secret Dr. Seuss message.
|
Have students fill in the tally chart using class data or data they collect themselves.
Review length, time (clock & calendar), weight, and temperature. Then play the measurement game. Follow it up with a game of Hollywood Squares to review the concepts and which tool is appropriate to use.

I use these with our calendar routine each day. Even though money is no longer a part of the 1st grade curriculum, exposure to it will help them grasp the concepts much more easily in 2nd grade. We add a penny each day on our calendar and trade as necessary. We recite the money poem for whichever coins we are using that day. I also have the daily helper count the coins using the hundred chart. (It's a great way to practice the 1st grade skill of adding tens by going down one square and then counting on.) Once we reach around $1.20, I let the daily helper draw a shopping card and add on the hundred chart while the class decides which coins to add in order to purchase that item.
