Fractions
Represent fractions visually using shape models. Scholars color in two sets of shapes to represent specific fractions: 2/3 and 3/4. The shapes are segmented into equivalent fractions for most of these, so scholars need to understand this...

Patterns of 2, 5, and 10
Give your young counters practice with skip counting and colors as they shade in number grids by 2s, 5s, and 10s. The three grids reach 50, and the first one is partially completed to give scholars an example. They follow directions by...

Draw the Other Half
How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...
