FREE Woodland Animal Patterning Activity

Hi there! Just wanted to share a few ideas for teaching patterns and my latest freebie I made for my kiddos this week! Understanding patterns is an important mathematical concept. Provide your students with plenty of patterning practice and you will establish a strong foundation for learning more advanced math concepts later. Here is my collection of ideas for teaching patterns: 1. Manipulatives (Unifix cubes, counting bears) 2. Toys (cars or other small toys) 3. Dot Markers 4. Stamps 5. Coins 6. Stickers 7. Lego Duplo 8. Beads (let them make bracelets) 9. Pom poms 10. Seeds 11. Fruit 12. Bottle caps 13. Make a sound pattern (clap, snap your fingers, clap, snap your fingers) 14. Create a movement pattern (jump, jump, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, jump, jump, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle) 15. Solve a problem e.g. I have five gummy bears. The first gummy bear is yellow, the second gummy bear is orange, the third gummy bear is green. If

Activities for b and d Reversals

Hi there! Just wanted to share a bit about one of my favorite products in my store Activities for b and d Reversals. When you think about it, b and d are the same letters, they’re just turned in different directions. Letter reversals, such as confusing b, d are common among young learners. The vast majority of children will grow out of this stage on their own. There may be a need for some concern if a child continues with letter reversals into and beyond the 3rd grade.   Day after day I've noticed that my little girl struggles with this concept. Since repeated errors only reinforce reversals, I decided to create  a set of worksheets and activities  to help her with B-D reversals. She had fun practicing with this set. She loves it and that makes me happy! Included in this packet are 7 different activities to help correct letter reversals: - WORD SORT with 30 word cards and 4 answer sheets. (pages 4-8) Print the word cards and the answer sheets, laminate then cut out the
