Teach This Math Activities for First Grade

Supplemental Math Activities for First Grade Skills

When you begin a new math topic with your class, sometimes the textbook or curriculum is just not enough.

You might want a few more stations, practice pages, homework options, or engaging lesson ideas to help students really understand the skill.

That is exactly why we created the Teach This math series.

These first grade math sets provide supplemental math activities for specific skills so teachers can easily extend lessons without spending hours searching for extra materials.

Each set includes a balanced collection of activities that support learning throughout the week without overwhelming teachers or students. No more searching for the perfect mix of supplemental activities each time the math topic changes.

Instead of hundreds of pages you will never use, you get the right mix of activities to support a full week of teaching that skill.

Teach This math sets are designed to support teachers when they begin a specific math concept.

When you start a new topic like addition, place value, or measurement, these sets provide ready to use materials that help students practice the skill in meaningful ways.

Inside each set you will find a variety of activities that can be used for

Teachers love having a small collection of high quality math activities that reinforce a concept without needing to prep dozens of separate resources.
