Color the Pattern
This geometric pattern will appeal to learners' artistic sides as they color various shapes based on a guide: they color circles blue, triangles red, squares green, and rectangles yellow. What does this finished design remind scholars...

Comparing
Practice the comparison words lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, smaller, and bigger using this visual chart. For each set of three objects, pupils order them according to one of these terms. The six terms are illustrated above for...

Extending Geometric Patterns
Which square comes next? Each of these sequences is made up of patterned squares in a continuing order. Learners examine more squares to choose which one(s) would correctly continue the pattern. None of these have very complex sequences;...
Curated OER
Patterns
Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....

Coordinate Graphs
As you introduce coordinate graphs to scholars, be sure to use guided worksheets like this one. Using an example for guidance, they write the coordinates of five points on a graph, each distinguished as a shape symbol. Next, scholars do...
Curated OER
Coordinates
For beginning point plotters, these graphs give a good introduction. They examine a graph with shapes drawn onto it and each vertex labeled. There are 20 total, and scholars write the coordinates of each labeled point. All of these are...

Draw the Shape ~ Counting Rectangles
It's all about rectangles here, and young geometers begin by following a dotted outline to trace the shape, then print one of their own. Next, they examine three pictures to count the rectangles in each. Learners practice writing...

Do You Know?: Days, Months, Minutes, and Hours
It's all about time as scholars focus on years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds to practice these concepts. First they put all 12 months back in order, numbering them 1st, 2nd, etc. Two are done for them. Next, there are...

Decimal Place Value
What is the place value of the digit 5? Explore decimals to the ten-thousandths place with these place value identification problems. For the first eight, pupils write down the place of a specific digit in various numbers. Next, scholars...

3 Fewer Than
How fun! Beginning counters practice with subtraction concepts as they draw apples onto trees and focus on the term fewer. The first tree pictured here has nine apples, and they count and record the number. On the next tree (which is...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
This engaging coordinate pairs activity will have scholars intrigued; they mark 13 points on a grid and then connect them to create a capital block letter. Which one will it be? The grid has whole numbers 0-10 along both axes, so...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...
Curated OER
Number Pairs
As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write the...

Hopping by 2s, part 2
Explore skip counting by twos with young mathematicians as they complete these engaging activities. First, they color in squares to represent counting by twos in an even sequence and an odd sequence. Next, they connect dots (by twos) to...
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
Find the pattern! Eighteen number sequences challenge scholars to identify and complete the pattern, adding at least four digits to the given numbers. All the sequences here involve skip counting by various single-digit numbers,...

Problems with Measures
Yards or inches? Understanding measurements has a lot to do with units, so give scholars some scenarios and have them choose the appropriate unit. There are six labeled images here requiring weight, distance, length, and capacity. They...
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
Although this fractions exercise may seem difficult at first, it's really quite simple and intended for beginners to mixed numbers. Scholars complete 15 number sequences by adding two or three mixed numbers or decimal numbers. However,...

Learning 2 - Write the Word
Focus on the number two with beginning counters as they review its word form, number form, and value. First, learners practice printing the word two, tracing it before writing it once on their own. Next, they draw two bunnies and then...

Learning 9 - Write the Number
As novice counters learn numbers 0-10, use this exercise to focus on the number nine. They begin by tracing and printing the numeral several times. Next, learners count sets of stars and record the totals, all of which are nine....
Curated OER
Symmetry
Is this the line of symmetry? Scholars analyze 12 images to determine whether or not the dotted line in each reflects symmetry. There are three examples for them to reference before they start, so consider reviewing these together before...
Curated OER
Symmetry
Fold these shapes in half and you'll have perfectly equal sides. Kids explore symmetry by completing 16 abstract shapes which have been cut off at the line of symmetry. They draw the mirror image, using several examples as reference. An...

Lines of Symmetry
Do your learners know that letters of the alphabet have lines of symmetry? Well, some of them do. Scholars examine nine symmetrical letters and draw in the line of symmetry for each (one of them has two!). They also complete six letters...
