Encourage reading for information with a text about United States geography. Kids read a short passage about the landforms in the United States, including mountain ranges and natural resources, and answer five reading comprehension...

Why do some places in the world have more people living there than other places? Learn about the ways the countries have formed around natural resources with a reading comprehension activity. After kids read a short...

Stories are passed down orally in many cultures. Learn about the ways that storytelling can shape a society with a reading passage about Native American folklore and myths. After they finish reading, kids complete five reading...

See how bias operates firsthand. Half of the class reads one article while the other half reads another article on the same event. The obvious differences emerge when the two sides talk about their observations though. Several handouts...

Get your kids moving on the first day of school! This action verb activity doesn't have to be used as an ice breaker, but it sure will work as one. Simply place pairs of cards face-side down on the carpet, each with an action verb...

It's all things multiplication in this fifteen-page packet! Learners switch off between problem-solving and math puzzles, increasing in difficulty as they move through the packet. Helpful examples precede all the problem-solving...

Scholars use a T-chart and puzzle pieces to practice saying and recognizing the medial sound in a series of words. Peers take turns choosing a puzzle piece, saying its name and medial sound, then placing it on their side of the chart. 

Young scholars practice reading high-frequency words by playing word checkers. They use the provided checker mat and checkers to read their way to the other side of the mat, making a less stressful way to provide necessary practice.

Matching number sentences to their visual equivalents may seem easy, but there is a trick here to keep your learners thinking about math properties. As they examine the numerical forms of six addition problems, they must...

Match the shapes! There are multiple potential objectives here as young scholars match shapes using different colored lines. There are four starter shapes and learners draw lines connecting them to matching shapes from a larger group....

Shape poems can be fun! Give your writers this example of a poem shaped like a fir tree, then give them the chance to try one of their own. This can be a fun poetry-style exercise to let visual learners experience a new side of poetry.

Give your beginning printers some kid-friendly practice with the letters p and b that will ignite their artistic side. They connect the dots to trace the lowercase letters before copying them in the space provided. There...

Here is some kid-friendly practice with the letters r and n that will ignite your scholars' artistic sides. They connect the dots to trace the lowercase letters before copying them in the space provided. There are two...

Move to the end of the alphabet with some kid-friendly practice focused on the letters x and z that will inspire your scholars' artistic side. They connect the dots to trace the lowercase letters before copying them in the space...

Where is the vertex? Each of these three-dimensional figures is drawn so learners can see all sides and corners. They examine an example before trying six on their own. Some of these will be tricky, so be sure kids have covered this...

Turn your first graders into adding machines! This is a fun way to practice single-digit addition, and scholars complete 25 equations. Each machine has a function; five numbers go into the machine, are added to, and emerge on the other...

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...

Before your scholars know how to multiply side lengths to find an area, give them some practice in simply counting units. They examine shapes that have already been segmented into units, counting them to get the area. There are three...

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,...

Master bigger, smaller, and shape names with an all-inclusive kindergarten worksheet. Young learners study the shapes on the left side (circle, rectangle, triangle, and square), and draw bigger versions of each. They then color their new...

For each of these eight rectangles, scholars write out the multiplication sentence to find the area given the side measurements. They use an example for reference and must remember to include square feet in their answer. All measurements...

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...

These symmetrical shapes are only half-completed, so scholars finish them by drawing the other side of the line of symmetry. Because your class won't recognize these abstract shapes, they will get authentic practice with this objective....

Can your kindergartners recognize shapes? What about when they are in different orientations? Youngsters study groups of shapes to determine which have the same shape and size. Two of the groups have triangles and ovals, and the other...
