Questions for students to answer after having sorted shells (can be adapted). Also includes some general sorting questions.

Lesson plan for sorting sequins, resources also uploaded.

Various fruits that children can decide on sorting categories, then cut and stick accordingly

Three simple circles to sort stars, leaves adn other shapes (can alter depending what sequins you have)

Three circles with two interlocking sections to sort sequins silver, circle, star...can of course change headings. Sorting sequins is a lovely activity that the students really enjoy.

Students will use venn diagram to sort sequins given to them. They will sort based on shape and color.

A set of questions for an independent group to find the difference between two numbers. (single and double digit numbers). Aligned with Common Core Standard: 2.OA.1, 2.OA.2, Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction; 2.NBT.5 Number and Operations in Base Ten: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Simple Handout. 6 questions easy to adapt. Children to split dots into two circles and then write how many dots are in one circle. BA - numbers 2-12 A - numbers 8 - 20. Children to draw their own dots in and then split AA - numbers 24 - 40

Differentiated problems.BA - simple picture additionA - - and + problems AA - very challenging measurement problems (working with support). Names in problems can easily be changed - change them to names of children in your class, always creates some giggl

Estimating volume - to start having a think about capacity. Jug measuring - For top ability group with support, thinking about measuring in ml and counting in 100s and 1000s. Challenging - good scaffold for relevant vocab use. Measuring out into cups - Used for my BA group to do with support. Some time will be needed to collect resources but if you put a note in the staffroom or ask parents these things can be collected faster (then keep them for next time) As said on sheet adding food colouring and sequins makes it that bit more exciting! Thank you :)

Simple two large circles for children to sort characters into two groups...circles can easily be overlapped to make a venn diagram. Ignites good discussion about different groups as most children are familiar with the characters.Hope it's useful! :)

Simple graph that can be used as a pictograph or block graph if edited slightly. We did a class survey on eye color and then drew the data onto the graph.If you have found this resource useful please favorite and rate! :)
