Let’s start building numbers! Just as building skyscrapers is a visual representation of mathematics, students will use the visual representation of base-ten blocks to add—or build—onto a two-digit number.

As students re-read nonfiction texts, have them classify visual features and record learnings from the captions.

What's your favorite fruit? In this lesson, your students will practice important skills by learning to interpret and present data in a visual form.

Sometimes students struggle with comprehension, and it can be difficult to pinpoint where the breakdown occurs. Help your students make visual summaries on sticky notes in this lesson!

Have students “cook” the right blends to make a fantastic word dish with beginning, middle, and ending letter sounds. In this lesson, your students will practice recognizing common CVC words.

How big is a foot? Students find out to explore how to measure in feet by comparing their own feet to rulers. Then they set off to measure the length and width of the classroom!

Double-digit trouble? No problem! Your students will practice their decomposing and regrouping skills in this lesson.

Your students will “eat up” this salad of sight words! In this lesson, your students will practice recognizing words that are tricky to spell.

Let’s get reading and writing! In this lesson, students learn to form and recognize regular plural nouns. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Students will work with counting collections to write sentences about the objects they count.

Students will get to explore three-digit numbers through base-ten blocks and written form. Students will get plenty of practice identifying the place values of a number both individually and with the class.

Use this lesson to review three-digit addition strategies including base-ten drawings, number lines, and the standard algorithm.

When reading, we all encounter unknown words at times. But how do we figure them out? In this lesson, students learn how to become a “human dictionary” by using a variety of strategies to figure out the meaning of unknown words.

Build words with this fun lesson for emergent readers. Using beads and pipe cleaners, your students will enjoy working with manipulatives to create three- and four-letter words!

In this lesson, students will learn how to add a one-digit number to a two-digit number. This will help students build upon the skills needed for regrouping larger numbers.

Use this lesson to introduce composing and decomposing as part of your students’ addition and subtraction toolkits.

Learning from others is a huge part of getting better at something, including writing! In this lesson, students will study works by nonfiction authors to enhance their own nonfiction writing.

This lesson will help students build an understanding of multiples as they learn how to subtract from multiples of 100!

Help your students use rulers in the classroom with this lesson! Encourage them to measure items around them using centimeters to understand shapes and sizes.

Help students use a 100 chart while discovering patterns of one more. This fun lesson will help students find connects between numbers and gain fluency with numbers within 100.

What exactly does the number 97 mean? How about 454? In this lesson, students explore how two-digit numbers are made up of tens and ones. Then they use this understanding to subtract numbers within 1000.

Help your students' understand the English language with this lesson that teaches them that there are word "twins" that look and sound the same but have different meanings.

Ready, set, bingo! Students will use a fun, fast-paced game of word bingo to practice reading and spelling grade-level sight words.

Practice finding unknown numbers in addition equations using fun and silly word problems.

Get out the measuring tape and head outside! In this lesson, students gather measurement data and build a model of the school playground.

Now that your first graders are able to count consecutively, introduce them to the tens and ones place values. Using tens and ones blocks will make math easy and fun for everyone!

Five, ten, fifteen... Help your students practice their multiplication skills by teaching them to skip count by fives. In this lesson, they will use dice to practice math!

In this lesson, your students will use the background knowledge that they have about counting and sorting to graph data. They will practice answering questions about the graph!

In this lesson, students will make bar graphs and interpret data using real-life data from other students. They will get practice writing and answering survey questions.

With this activity, students will identify shapes, build 3-D shapes, and practice describing shapes with a partner.

It's all about me! In this lesson, students will identify character traits in a story and decide if they have the same traits. This lesson incorporates literature, writing, comparison skills, and social skills.
