Do you struggle to get students to practice addition facts?

Falling Leaves! Leaf Identification Flashcards and Matching Activity

September 8, 2020 by Selena Robinson 37 Comments

Fall is nearly here!

I love summer, but fall is a close runner-up for my favorite time of year.

The leaves change colors, the weather gets cool, plus we get to start baking and knitting!

So I thought I’d share a set of printable leaf identification flashcards!

These are perfect for fall learning, but you can really use them anytime of the year.

They’d also be great for a spring unit, since that’s when plants begin to flower again.

I hope you and your students enjoy them as well!

Plus, keep reading to see how to get a set of expanded leaf identification activity cards for your class too!

Feathered Friends! Printable Bird Identification Flashcards

February 13, 2020 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

The air is getting warmer and we’ve started noticing flocks of birds flying in a “V” formation around our town. Even Piglet shouts “All those birds, Mama!” when she sees them.

They’re returning here after the winter. Soon we’ll be hearing them sing in the mornings again!

So I thought our next set of printable flashcards should be a set of bird identification flashcards!

These are so simple for a spring science activity. They’re also a wonderful fit for a fall unit, particularly if you’re studying migration.

Read on to see how to get your set. And, for more about our feathered friends, don’t miss our list of beautiful children’s books about birds!

Printable Bird Identification Flashcards

To use these printable bird identification flashcards, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Printer paper
Scissors
Laminator (if you want the flashcards to last for a while)

In this set of flashcards, you’ll find identification cards for 12 different kinds of birds, including:

Sea Gull
Finch
Osprey
Toucan
Pigeon
Hoopoe
Cardinal
Owl
Hummingbird
Puffin
Pelican
And Quail!

Let the kids try guessing which animals match up with the species you see in your neighborhood!

How to Use Printable Bird Identification Flashcards

One of the simplest ways to use these bird species identification cards is to memorize birds by their pictures and then quiz students as a review.

Since one set of the cards has pictures of the birds only, make the picture cards into a “Guess Who?” game!

These would also be wonderful for a spring or fall nature walk!

Use a hole puncher to put a hole in the top left corner of each card and place all of them on a ring.

Then take the flashcards with you as the kids try to see how many species they can spot in your area!

Printable Fall Memory Game for Kids

September 5, 2019 by Selena Robinson 3 Comments

Fall is in the air!

For us down here in the Deep South, that usually means high temperatures in the mid-80s. But I’ll take that over the high 90s anyday!

While the temperatures don’t drop too much, we do sense that the air is drier and cooler, which is a huge relief after a sweltering summer.

So I thought it was a great time to share this printable fall memory game so that the kids can start getting ready for autumn…when it finally shows up here.

This is such an easy, low-prep activity! You just print the product, cut out the cards, and you’re good to go. Plus, it would make a fantastic busy bag.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

August 13, 2015 by Selena Robinson 9 Comments

One of Pooh’s objectives this year is to learn to work with arrays.

When I was in school, we weren’t using arrays. We were memorizing addition and multiplication facts back then.

Now, though, arrays are an important (and helpful) way to understand adding and multiplying.

So I put together a math product: Apple Arrays! – A fun, apple-themed way to have array practice for second grade!

By the way, be sure to check out our Apple Orchard Playdough Counting Mat for your toddlers and preschoolers!

Need to practice visual discrimination? Don’t miss our Apple Alike! Same or Different Worksheets!

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

To use these printables, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are included in this post. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

This product includes 16 worksheets that include both addition and multiplication for numbers 1-5.

If your students are still working on addition fluency, the first ten worksheets are all about adding numbers 1-5.

A full answer key is provided, so the kids can check their work.

This is a great activity for practicing addition facts.

But if your students are ready for a quick introduction to multiplication, the last six worksheets are perfect for showing them the relationship between adding and the times tables!

How to Use Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

I have to admit that when Pooh saw that there were multiplication problems on the sheet, his reaction was “TIMES TABLES????”

It was a dramatic moment, for sure.

But I used the first few pages to introduce him to using arrays with addition.

And then we talked about how addition with arrays is the same as multiplication.

This product focuses just on working with 5’s from 5+0 to 5+5+5, so you can use it to introduce times tables from 5×1 to 5×5.

The first set of pages contains apple arrays and written addition and multiplication problems.

Pooh and I looked at each row and column in the arrays to understand why we write those particular addition and multiplication equations to represent them.

Count out the number of apples in each row to find your first addend.

Then count the number of rows to find the second. Simple!

After he went through and solved the first set of problems, we used the second set of pages.

These pages have the apple arrays and addition/multiplication problems, but kids have to read the array correctly to fill in the addends/multiplicand/multiplier.

Which he did on his own!

He was so excited to grasp how to read arrays and relate them to multiplying that as soon as Jay came in the door, he said “Dad! I learned how to do times today!”

Another one of those homeschooling gifts I’m thrilled to share with them this year.
