Fall Favorites PLUS a FREEBIE!


 Fall is my favorite time of year, which is why it is no surprise that I had SO  MUCH FUN creating these autumn math packs! 

Cornucopia of Coins:


Students practice matching coin pictures to the written values in these fun puzzles! Can make a great center for independent practice. It also includes worksheets for continued practice and review!


   

Pumpkin Place Value Puzzles:


Students match standard, expanded, and written form with place value blocks!


Turkey Time Riddles:


This is one of my favorites for practicing time around thanksgiving. This multi-step process helps students practice time to the hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, and 5-minutes while solving silly riddles. (Let's be honest...who doesn't love corny jokes!?)



Fun Fall Freebie!

September FLEW by without us having a chance to break out the watercolors. I know how much students love painting, so I set out to find a quick and easy way to incorporate watercolors into our Friday "Smart Art" time. I found this simple poem to use for shared reading: 


To incorporate a little Science, we read the book, Why do Leaves Change Color? by Betsy Maestro.


Then, it was time to paint! Students traced cardstock cutouts for leaves. You could also search for leaves outside to trace for added fun!
