I absolutely loved this idea! It might work better with upper grades, since I don’t think younger kids have had enough exposure to memes to get as much out of this activity. This post from Mrs. Orman’s classroom talks about five ways to use memes in the classroom. Here are the five ideas:
- Teach about class rules, expectations and or procedures using memes
- Have kids create memes as ice-breaker activities
- Promote and reinforce your curriculum (such as a meme of George Washington)
- Creative activity
- Open house or new student orientation
Even if you don’t think using memes in your classroom will work well, her examples are HILARIOUS and totally worth the read!
This is one of my spring color by number pages. It uses simple addition and subtraction, so it’d be good for kindergarten or (maybe struggling first graders). The kids color sections of the picture based on the answer to the question.
Learning fraction, decimal and percent equivalents is KILLER! That was by far one of the hardest topics for my kids. I made this sheet to help kids practice fraction-decimal equivalents using a simple number line.
I saw this idea somewhere and fell in love with it! This little house is home to a “fact family.” You could use this for addition/subtraction or for multiplication/division. I’ve made a full page version and a half page version. Sometimes having to complete a half sheet (rather than a full sheet) seems less intimidating to kids even if it’s got the same thing on it. I’ve included a page to use as an example of how to complete the graphic organizer.
Here’s the last of my series of 3 worksheets for double digit addition. This worksheet is appropriate for lower grades.
Still working on learning how to “carry” numbers from the ones place to the tens place? Here’s some more double digit addition practice for lower grades. It’s the 2nd of 3 worksheets.
Learning how to “carry” numbers from the ones place to the tens place is hard for kids. When you’re learning this skill (used in double digit addition), there’s no such thing as too much practice. Here’s one of my series of 3 addition worksheets (for lower grades).
I recently worked with a 4th grader on finding equivalent decimals and fractions. It inspired me to make this St. Patrick’s Day worksheet about it. I tried to use common fractions (1/3, 1/4, 1/2, etc.) This worksheet is appropriate for upper grades. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
