Aquarium Arithmetic Seek and Find

Help kids practice adding and subtracting with these aquarium-themed arithmetic practice printables!

I am in the small group of people who actually enjoy solving arithmetic problems.

When I was young, I would doodle math problems in my notebook in my spare time.

My kids, though, aren’t big fans of arithmetic, unless I can make it fun.

So instead of just giving them a sheet of problems to solve, I put together a fun aquarium-themed lesson: our Aquarium Arithmetic Seek and Find activity!

These rainbow tally marks worksheets are so fun for spring math learning!

One of the things I love most about spring is waiting for rain showers to end so we can try to spot some rainbows.

You know how you always heard about “the end of the rainbow”? Well, it turns out there is no end.

I just read the other day that the rainbow always changes arc direction depending on your position. So as you travel, it seems to travel too.

Bummer.

They may not be what they appear, but rainbows are still plenty of fun for kids.

And that’s why I thought I’d make some rainbow tally marks worksheets for kids who are working on counting with tally marks!

Counting Crows! Write and Wipe Addition Cards

October 22, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

When my husband and I moved to the suburbs, we started to see something we hadn’t seen before.

Crows.

Our neighborhood didn’t have many trees, but it had lots of telephone lines. And it was an everyday occurrence to see crows gathered up in groups on the lines right outside our window.

In the fall, before the weather turned cold, we’d see lots of them. Then they’d suddenly take off and we wouldn’t see them again until the spring thaw. 

So I thought crows would be a fun fall or spring theme for math center activities and that’s where these counting crows write and wipe addition cards come in!

Fun Counting Crows Addition Fact Cards

These addition fact cards are so handy for reviewing basic sums using addends up to five. Plus, you can use them over and over again, so it’s a prep once and you’re done activity!

Read on to see how to get these for your students! And take a look at this Fall Leaves Count and Match Game for more fall math fun!

These counting crows addition fact cards are so fun for helping students practice addition fluency! Use them with dry erase crayons at math centers!

Each card also shows the number of crows that corresponds to each addend. That way, students can use these objects to count up to the sum, if necessary.

Counting Crows Addition Cards

Use these with dry erase crayons so that students can practice, wipe their answers away, and pass them on to the next learner!

You can even cut each card out, place them on a ring, and use them in morning tubs for quick review.

There is also a set of 28 cards featuring blank addend and sum spaces. Since the number of crows still appears on the cards, students can fill in each space and add as usual.

Pumpkin Pie Parts! Fraction Clip Cards for Kids

October 21, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Fractions are not exactly known for being…the most fun math concept to teach. 

I remember trying to make colorful anchor charts to bring this topic to life as much as possible, but it just fell flat. The kids were not interested in hot pink definitions of fractions on colored chart paper.

The good thing is that fractions lend themselves very well to food. There are so many foods we cut into equal parts, including pumpkin pie.

Which is why these pumpkin pie themed fraction clip cards are a neat way to make learning about fractions fun and easy to understand!

I’m so excited to share these, because they make wonderful fall math center activities! Or you can add them to morning tubs for a quick math review.

Monster Truck Measurement for First Grade Printables

April 1, 2019 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Monster Truck Measurement for First Grade Printables
Monster Truck Measurement

Now that we’re winding down first grade with Roo (yay!), I’ve been looking through the math objectives to make sure we touch on as many topics as possible. One of the major math concepts we still had to discuss was: measurement.

For Roo, though, life begins and ends with movement. So I wanted to make learning about measurement as fun as possible. Time to add in some monster trucks with a fun set of monster truck themed measurement for first grade printables!

Printable Monster Truck Measurement for First Grade Lesson

These are a wonderful way to practice using rulers to measure to the nearest inch, half-inch, and quarter inch, especially if you have active kids who love all things transportation.

Check out our printable Monster Truck Measurement lesson and get a set of your own for FREE! And, for more ways to make math fun, take a look at our outdoor sidewalk chalk math game!

Teach children how to measure to the nearest inch, half-inch, or quarter-inch with these fun monster truck measurement for first grade worksheets!

To use these monster truck measurement for first grade printables, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links included in this post. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printable Measurement Lesson for Kids

All you have to do is print the worksheets and then follow the instructions!

Monster Truck Measurement Lesson for Kids

Kids can choose from measuring to the nearest inch, the nearest half-inch, or the nearest quarter-inch. So these work well for teaching measurement for first grade, but also measuring skills for second grade and rising third grade students.

Printable Monster Truck Measurement for First Grade Worksheets

This product also includes a full answer key, so kids can check their work!

Printable Measurement to the Nearest Inch Lesson for Kids

Monster Truck Measurement for First Grade Printables Lesson

Since it was Roo’s first time working on this topic, we started with learning to measure to the nearest inch.

Using Measurement for First Grade Printables

After we talked about the importance of lining up the first line on the ruler with the start of the object, Roo was off and running!

I encouraged him to draw a line from the start of the object to the point at which it lined up with the ruler, and then the same with the end of the object.

Measurement for First Grade Printables Activity

The instructions say to measure to the nearest inch, so it was also a good time to talk about estimation. After Roo measured each line of trucks, he wrote down the number on the lines. Easy peasy!

Measurement for First Grade Printables Pack

Since Pooh is in second grade, he worked on measuring to the nearest half-inch.

Learning with Measurement for First Grade Printables

And he ended up learning that .5 and 1/2 are the same thing! (We’re already working on third grade objectives, albeit unconsciously…lol.)

Snowflake 2nd Grade Math Factors Craft

January 21, 2016 by Selena Robinson 7 Comments

We actually had a chance of snow flurries in our forecast this week! In Georgia, that’s a huge deal. A chance of snow flurries means a state of emergency.

Turns out that we didn’t actually get any snow, which was disappointing to my kids. But we kept the snowy theme going with a fun paper snowflake craft featuring 2nd grade math factors!

Check out our winter-y math craft below!

Paper Snowflake 2nd Grade Math Factors Craft

Snowflake 2nd Grade Math Factors Craft

Before we could start talking about math factors, though, Pooh needed a quick primer on multiplication. So we talked about making equal groups – one of the ways we can teach multiplication.

Making Equal Groups in Multiplication

First, we started with a simple multiplication fact – 3 groups of 3 equals 9.

Learning 2nd Grade Math Factors

Then we learned that you can also make nine by using 1 group of 9 dots.

Listing 2nd Grade Math Factors

Which means 9 has three factors: 1, 3, 9. All three can be multiplied in different combinations to make 9.

Using Manipulatives for 2nd Grade Math Factors

Time to make our math factor snowflakes! We used our Snowflake Math Factor Printables and a set of Unifix Cubes to help Pooh visualize how to find his multiplication factors.

Making Equal Groups with Unifix Cubes

As we made equal groups of 8, 4, and 2, Pooh discovered the missing math factors that make 24: 3, 6, and 12.

Math Factors for 2nd Grade

As we discovered the missing factors, Pooh filled in his snowflake.

Making Snowflake 2nd Grade Math Factors

Now to cut it out!

Making Shapes with Snowflake Math Factors

Roo was in the kitchen as we worked. He came upon one of the paper scraps and declared it “a great white shark’s tooth”. Alrighty then.

Hanging Snowflake Math Factors for 2nd Grade

We added masking tape to the back and hung our snowflakes on the window.

Snowflake 2nd Grade Math Factors Craft

Ta-da! We got some “snow” after all!

This was a really fun, hands-on activity that also served as a nice way to talk about multiplication without overwhelming my 2nd grader.

2nd Grade Math Factors Snowflake Craft

If you’d like to make this craft at home, grab a set of our free Snowflake Math Factor printables! There are combinations up to 144, so you can easily use this with 2nd to 4th graders. Plus, the answers are included!

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

August 13, 2015 by Selena Robinson 9 Comments

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

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!

Help kids learn to use arrays when adding with these printable apple addition arrays for second grade!

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

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.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Pencils

Printable Apple Arrays Printables for Kids

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

Printable Addition Array Practice for Kids

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

Apple Themed Addition Array Practice for Kids

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!

Apple Math Array Practice for Kids

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.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

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.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

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!

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

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.

Apple Array Practice for Second Grade

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.

Free Snowflake Math Factors Printable Activity

December 19, 2013 by Selena Robinson 3 Comments

Hey everyone! We’re back from a short break this week with a free set of homeschool printables that are perfect for winter learning!

Tigger’s had her struggles with math over the years, so we’ve had to add a little fun to our math work to help her stay focused. This month, we decided to tackle multiplication factors with set of free snowflake math factor printables! Read on to see how to get your copy!

If you like these, don’t miss our ideas on how to use them for a fun snowflake math factor craft!

These free snowflake math factor printables are perfect for helping kids work on multiplication skills!

Free Snowflake Math Factor Printables

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

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Pencil

We designed the activity so that the snowflake arms all show numbers that are factors of the larger number in the center. They work on a diagonal, so there are three numbers already given and the kids have to find the other number that makes a factor pair.

Printing Snowflake Math Factor Printables - Look! We're Learning!
