A Quick Math Warm Up and Hands On Engaging Math Printables

Would you like to get your students interested and engaged from the first day of school?  

Here is a quick addition warm up. Give each child an individual wipe off board and marker.   

Play beat the teacher.  Call out an addition fact and see how many students can write the answer correctly on their white boards before the teacher writes the answer on her white board. Be sure that the students win enough that they don't lose interest.

Students will love practicing addition facts within 10 with these fun no prep printables.
For each page students will solve the addition facts, cut out the addition facts, sort the addition facts by sums and glue them into the correct place on the worksheet.

There are three types of worksheets. The first type has the students sort sums between a given number and any number that is not the given number.
The second type has the students sort sums between two given numbers.
The third type has the students sort sums between three given numbers.

These printables work well for math centers and math stations as well as early finishers.

The sorting, cutting, and gluing keep the students engaged in the activities while developing fine motor skills and sorting abilities as well as math fact knowledge.
A color copy of the file is provided in case you would like to use some of the sheets for demonstrations.

What is the Missing Number? A Fun Kindergarten Resource

Are you looking for resources to use with Google Drive™ or Google Classroom™? Do you want to build a library of high quality materials?  Do you want to find what you need quickly and easily?  
Look at Learning Harbor® Resources for Teachers. Look back often. We are frequently adding new materials to use with Google Drive™ and Google Classroom™

I recommend playing this game with the whole group on an interactive white board or in small groups with any device that will operate Google. After students are familiar with the game they will be able to use it during 1 to 1 time or in pairs.  This is a great way to improve the students computer skills while they develop math skills.

We have just added a kindergarten level game for counting and ordering numbers with a little gold miner theme.  In this resource for Google Classroom™ or Google Drive™, students find the missing number in a sequence of 3 numbers. Each slide will have a sequence of 3 numbers using the numbers 1 through 10.The missing number may be the first, second, or third number in the counting sequence. This self correcting interactive Google Classroom™ activity is a fun way to practice the counting sequence. This activity is self paced. You may want to give the students ten counters to use while playing this game. 

Students will click on a symbol on the home page and be taken to a slide with a three number counting sequence. Students will find the missing answer, record their answer, and check their work by touching or clicking their answer. If the student clicks on a correct answer, a slide with “Way to Go!” will pop up. If the student clicks on an incorrect answer a slide with “Try Again, You’ll Get It Next Time” will pop up.
