Cruising Through Math and Literacy Mini Packet
I had a few requests for a "Cars" themed packet! So I began trying to create something different and something that would be useful to a variety of classrooms.
So I created this Cruising-Through-Math-and-Literacy-Mini-Packet !! This packet contains a variety of skills.
*Fill it up--Even & Odd Numbers Sort
*Expanded Form Number Match
*Doubles Addition Facts
*Sight Word Race
*Speedy Word Sort (Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives)
I've included a place value center that uses expanded form to improve students skills.
I love this center because most centers available now only offer recognizing the actual place, and expanded form is a skill that some students really struggle with.
I hope you will visit my TpT Store and check out my current sale!!
~Till next time :)
