FREE MATH LESSON - “FREE Geometry Review PowerPoint”

by Katie Smith
3rd - 5th Grade


I'm using this Power Point as a warm up to review geometry concepts with my third grade class. Print out 6 or 9 slide/page handouts for students to create their own geometry dictionaries. Use it to refresh that geometry vocabulary as testing season gets into full gear!

Covered in this Power Point:
Quadrilaterals
Other Polygons: pentagon, hexagon, octagon
Lines, rays, points, line segments
Types of angles
Types of triangles
Perimeter
Area
3-D Shapes

Hope you enjoy!

*Updated February 26th -- The Zip file includes a PDF copy of the Power Point (click on "View" then "Full Screen" to show to students) and the original Power Point document. If you care about the fonts (like me!) use the PDF version. If you're having trouble viewing the PDF, you can use the original.*

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Rocket Letters and Numbers: Handwriting Fluency FREE”

by Deedee Wills
Kindergarten - 1st Grade


We all know that fluent letter and numeral formation is so important in primary students. Students must be able to form these symbols quickly and automatically.
This is a daily routine that is well loved in my kindergarten classroom. This activity takes only minutes with minimal teacher prep. 
This is a great way to monitor your students progress and can be adapted to meet your students’ needs.
Enjoy!

FREE MISC. LESSON - “10 Misconceptions About Spanish Language and Its Speakers”

by spanishplans
5th - 12th Grade


This 12 slide powerpoint features 10 statements which ask students to decide if they are true or false. Click ahead, and it will tell you the answer and also give an explanation.

These are 10 things that a lot of students don't know, but they definitely should. Features common misconceptions about the Spanish language worldwide and in the US as well as about the people who speak Spanish.

This powerpoint should last a 50 minute class period. Some slides also include additional links in the "notes" section for more information.

Great lesson to talk about stereotypes and perceptions. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a person is called "Spanish" because they speak Spanish, which is something I hear a lot, not just from children, but from adults as well. The goal of this lesson is to put an end to ignorance and inform people about what reality is.

FREE MATH LESSON - “FREE Names for Numbers, Grade 1, March Match Math, PDF”

by Wise Owl Factory
1st Grade


The Everyday math program has many pages of math boxes where children have to write more names for numbers. These games will help children understand more about this concept. A name for the numeral 2 may be 1+1, 4-3, or 10-1 for instance. Provide some hands-on practice for students who may need some motivation and fun working with math. Names for a person are presented on two of the pages (boy, cousin, baseball player and so on) to help children understand one person can have many names. Extend this idea to numbers with this game. The ANSWER KEY is the original document, but you will be cutting apart the cards printed for the matching game. There are some cards with just a number to provide differentiation (some children will be able to match one number and one number name). These materials may be used in various ways in the classroom. 26 pages, PDF

Test Prep Tournaments For Any Grade and Any Subject
by Victoria Leon



Revised version now has 12 test prep tournaments. Students will have fun reviewing for your state's standardized tests, district tests, and classroom tests. The 72 pages include football, baseball, and tic-tac-toe game boards & specific directions for 12 tournaments.

The tournaments may be used for any grade and any subject, but you need to supply the questions you want your students to study. Go to the Internet to access your state's released questions of past standardized tests. Use questions from test prep booklets or your classroom textbooks. Write your own questions to review the skills you want your students to learn.

Students may review spelling words, vocabulary definitions, and important events in social studies in whole class tournaments or at a learning center. Students may work in cooperative groups to solve computation problems or word problems.

These tournaments work! My students took the 2009 California Standards Test. When comparing my students' California Standards Test scores with me and how they had done the year before, one student went from Far Below Basic in second grade to Below Basic to Basic to Proficient with me in third grade and went up three levels. Three of my students went up two levels. Nine of my students went up one level. Three students stayed in their same level from second grade to third grade (one student was Proficient and stayed Proficient & two students were Advanced and stayed Advanced.) The final student in my class last year did not have a second grade test score, but scored Advanced in my class. I receive similar test scores each year.

FREE MATH LESSON - “Dots Fun FREE Primary Grades Resource (Using Dominoes)”

by Scipi
1st - 3rd Grade


The FREE Dots Fun primary resource is an 11 page booklet containing four different activities and one game that uses dominoes. The activities range from adding, to problem solving, to Topsy Turvy subtraction problems. Since the students do not write on the pages, they can be copied and laminated for use from year to year. Students solve the Dots Fun Activities by arranging dominoes. You may use a commercial set of 28 dominoes or copy the domino blackline that is included on the last page of this handout. Each activity is on a single page, and varies in difficulty. Since the students have the freedom to move the dominoes around, they are more engaged and more willing to attempt multiple methods to find the solution.

These activities are appropriate for the visual and/or kinesthetic learner. They are suitable for a math center, for differentiated instruction, as well as for introducing or reviewing a math concept.
