Today I want to share with you some math activities that I used while I was teaching 1st grade. It’s a little bit hard to believe that I’ve been out of the classroom for 3 years. I am still a teacher, but I no longer have a whole classroom of kids, at least, not all at the same time. I work with 25+ kids, in small groups of 3-4.
Moving out of the classroom was a difficult decision but for my family and I it has been one of the best decision. I LOVE what I do. The level of connection that I have with my students is on a different level and I truly feel like I am able to give them each what they need while they are with me.
My own kids are little and I love being a mom, so not spending so many hours at work is such a blessing. I needed a job where I would still be teach, but at the same time be able to be there for my family a little more.
I also now have more time to share my passion, which is creating! I created this Winter Smartboard Activity when I was teaching 1st grade and it was such a great whole group and math workshop activity.
When I was in the classroom, I loved my Smartboard! It let’s our students interact with their learning in such an engaging way. I used my Smartboard for my morning routines, for workshop times and pretty much anything I could! It is such and amazing resource and if you’re anything like me you love finding activites that you can use year after year.
I created this Smartboard activity to give my students more practice on the skills we were working on. Each activity is linked to the CCSS and are stated below. I hope that you are able to spend a little more time with your family because I’ve already done the work for you.
Activities:
*Ordering numbers from smallest to biggest and biggest to smallest
*Numbers that come before and after
*Writing numbers 11-50
*Addition and graphing
*Telling time to the half hour
*Missing addend
*Rote Counting
*Greater than, Less than, and equal to
*Adding 3 numbers and then double checking
*Teen numbers shown with a 10 and some 1’s
*Numbers in the twenties shown with two 10’s and some 1’s
*Number bonds
