FREE beginning subtraction worksheets

Anonymous — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:24:00 GMT

It's an exciting time when children are ready to begin learning about more advanced math concepts like addition and subtraction. They just worked so hard to gain a mastery of numbers and become accurate counters, so addition and subtraction are the next logical step. To make subtraction fun (and not confusing or scary!), I created a set of colorful and playful subtraction worksheets. Plus, I set the worksheets up so that children could physically cross out items as they subtract them, so the worksheets will be easy for young children to complete successfully.

Head over to my blog and grab your free set of these worksheets and also check out my blog post for tips on helping all children become successful with subtraction. If your child is not ready for subtraction, I also have more basic kindergarten math worksheets (counting with one-to-one correspondence, learning the numbers, etc.) so you can start with those and progress up to the subtraction worksheets.

Have a great day, everyone!

FREE sight word sentences

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:54:00 GMT

If you follow my blog, you probably know that I believe in teaching children sight words. I think it helps them to become fast, confident readers. I use the Dolch sight words list to create Dolch sight words flashcards but, of course, I don't stop there! To help make learning sight words fun, I like to create corresponding sight word sentences that are filled with sight words so that children can begin reading full sentences after learning only a few sight words.

Head over to my blog to get the sight word flashcards and the sight word sentences. As with everything on my site, it's all totally free. So far I have them for the preschool, kindergarten, and first grade Dolch sight words lists -- I just added the first grade ones today!

Enjoy! Renee

Free shades of colors worksheets

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:40:00 GMT

I always find that kids have trouble learning the concept of "shades of colors." They think each color means one thing and are always amazed to learn there is light blue, dark blue, royal blue, etc. And they are all "blue!" To help kids practice identifying different shades of the same color, I created some fun shades of colors worksheets.

At the bottom of each worksheet is a related activity suggestion you can try in the classroom (or at home) to keep the fun going.

And speaking of fun, I also made some matching colors memory games! Check those out too! Each game has 16 cards (8 matching sets) so you can play them individually or play all 32 cards at once for a really memory challenge.
