Apple Seek and Find Shape Sorting Worksheets

August 12, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Early learners will love practicing shape recognition with these apple shapes worksheets for preschool!
Use these apple shape sorting worksheets to help early learners practice recognizing the four basic shapes with a fun fall theme!

Do you remember how old you were when you first learned how to recognize shapes?

I remember learning about the octagon in particular, because I started looking for STOP signs just so I could say “octagon” and feel really smart.

When you’re teaching preschool, shapes are a critical math skill to cover. The great thing is that learning shapes is a pretty fun activity already, so you don’t have to worry about making it fun.

But if you’d like to add a little more hands-on learning to this objective, these apple-themed shapes worksheets for preschool are a great way to do it!

Easy and Fun Outdoor Math Games for Kids

June 13, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Math is one of those topics that children either love or seem to struggle with a little bit.

It’s no different in our family. I have one child who seems to “get” math concepts right away, but for the others, it takes a little time. (And preferably a lot of movement.)

So that’s why I love using outdoor math games for kids to help my children practice some of their most difficult concepts.

With these outdoor math learning activities, kids get to practice their skills, move around, and even get a little messy. They’ll have so much fun they won’t even notice they’re learning!

Fun Outdoor Math Games for Kids

These fun math games would be perfect for outdoor play over summer break, particularly if you’re trying to avoid the summer slide before school resumes in the fall.

Want more ways to keep learning over the break? Don’t miss our list of 40 summer learning activities for kids!

Try some of these easy outdoor math games for kids to play outside! These are wonderful for learning during summer break!

3 DIY Outdoor Math Games for Kids

Sidewalk Chalk Math

What child doesn’t love drawing on the sidewalk with chalk? The chunkier the chalk and the brighter the colors, the better.

Instead of setting indoors doing math worksheets on plain old paper, why not take your little one outside and do your math on the sidewalk? Your child will love walking (or running) around to answer oversized math problems!

Beanbag Toss

Head outdoors with several beanbags and some plastic buckets. Place the plastic buckets on one end and have your child and the beanbags on the other.

Ask your child a math question or write one on the driveway with chalk and have them then toss the correct amount of beanbags into the plastic bucket.

For example: If the math problem is 2 + 3, they would then need to toss five beanbags into the bucket. 

Counting Treasure Hunt

Setting up a treasure hunt for your child is a perfect way for them to get out and about in nature and have fun with math! Pick 10 different objects and place them around the yard.

Have your child find those objects and bring them back to you, counting as they go. Once they have found all ten items, it’s time for them to hide some objects from you!

Out of the 10 items, tell them to take three or four to hide. You can also practice subtraction by asking them how many objects are left afterwards.

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!

Monster Truck Measurement for First Grade Printables

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.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer Paper
  • Pencils
  • A Ruler

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.)

Money is one of those math topics that kids generally love to learn about. They all want money, so they usually don’t mind learning how to count it. At least mine didn’t.

Since Pooh is in second grade, learning to work with money is one of our main objectives for math this school year. So I’ve started using several money activities for second grade to help him grasp this concept as easily as possible.

Plus, I’m sharing a new printable today that can help your kids learn to work with money too!

Fun Money Activities for Second Grade – Set Up a Store!

What money lesson is complete without a game of “Store”? Usually kids learn about the concept of money when we go shopping.

They ask us for toys and we say “No, we don’t have money for that.” Then they realize: money = the ability to buy toys. 🙂

That’s a great place to start teaching them about money!

Money Activities for Second Grade - Look! We're Learning!

To set up our “store”, I asked the kids to go to their rooms and pick three things each. They came back with their most prized possessions. It was actually pretty cute.

Then I just arbitrarily assigned prices to each item using sticky notes. And our store was complete!

Money Activities for Second Grade - Look! We're Learning!

Now I might skimp on my store “shelves”, but I try to use realistic play money. (Ours is from Learning Resources.) I think it’s important for kids to learn what actual coins look like so they can recognize them in real life.

It’s somewhat ironic to be teaching with dollars and coins when we almost always use cards now, but it’s so important that kids understand how money works.

That’s a much easier lesson to learn with coins than cards. I mean, you can swipe cards all day without actually realizing how much money you spend. (Ask me how I know…lol.)

Money Activities for Second Grade - Look! We're Learning!

When we make “purchases” in our store, we add up the total using a calculator, count out our money, and we’re off!

Another way we like to teach money in second grade is by playing Monopoly Junior. It’s a fun and easy way for younger kids to learn about concepts such as buying and selling, property, and budgeting.

Help your student learn how to count money with these fun money activities for second grade!

Fun Money Activities for Second Grade – Learning about Money Printables

Want even more practice with learning about money? We have a new set of learning printables to add to our list of fun money activities for second grade and other early elementary grade levels!

Spanish Worksheets for Kids: Spanish Telling Time Worksheets

November 19, 2018 by Selena Robinson 2 Comments

Pick up this Spanish Telling Time Worksheets Pack to help kids learn to tell time in Spanish!

We’ve had some extremely cold weather (for us) recently and we’ve all been stuck indoors. So it’s an excellent time to share a brand new set of Spanish worksheets for kids with all of you! Yay!

This is a super resource if you’re teaching Spanish to your kids in grades PK-Grade 3. It’s a Spanish Telling Time Worksheets bundle – over 40 pages of help to learn how to tell time in Spanish!

Printable Spanish Telling Time Worksheets for Students

Read on to learn how to get yours!

And for more Spanish learning fun, check out our Spanish Family Words Worksheets!

Teach children how to tell time to the hour in Spanish with these printable Spanish telling time worksheets for kids!

Spanish Worksheets for Kids: Spanish Telling Time Worksheets

To use this set of Spanish telling time worksheets, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Scissors
  • Laminator (for the flashcards)
  • Pencils

Printable Spanish Telling Time Lesson

This bundle of Spanish activities is great for kids from preschool to grade 3 and it includes help to learn how to say common Spanish telling time phrases.

Spanish Telling Time Worksheets for Kids

The product features printed English and Spanish time phrases, along with tracing sentences and a bonus set of Spanish telling time flashcards! A pronunciation guide for saying the Spanish phrases correctly is also included.

Printable Spanish Telling Time Worksheets for Kids

As you’ll see, the Spanish way of telling time is fairly simple. In English, we use “o’ clock” to identify time based on the numbers on the clock face.

Printable Spanish Telling Time Worksheets

In Spanish, though, people just refer to the number of hours. So instead of 1 o’clock, in Spanish you’d say “Es la una“, which literally means “It is one.” No “o’clock” needed!

After 1 o’clock, Spanish time phrases include “Son las dos” (It is two.), “Son las tres” (It is three), and so on.
