Two Step Word Problems

This has been on my to do list for a long time.....to put a new product in my TPT store.  My orginal goal was to break even with selling and buying TPT products.  OK that will never happen.  I am loving all the wonderful products that other creative teachers are making.  I just do not know where they find the time however I do appreciate their efforts.

This week my class and I put together some two step word problems for Christmas.  I thought I would share with everyone.

They are simple enough and most of my students could read them.  The names were a bit hard for them to decode.  There is no assemble required.  You just need to print and teach.

Merry Christmas!

Penguin Story Problems

Addition and Subtraction Word Problems

What was left of this week I have been reviewing with my class word problems.  It is the end of the quarter and it is time to assess.  We are reading lots of penguin stories.  My favorite penguin story is 365 Penguins.

 It is a very cute story.  We also read Tacky the Penguin. 

My first graders are so excited to realize they can now read it themselves. 

Anyways they finished their math a few minutes early today so I had them write their own word problems.  I promised them we would do them tomorrow for math class.  Here are some of the problems they came up with. 

I typed them up and I thought maybe you would like to share them with me.  Here are s a couple of the pages.

My first graders were so excited about their problems becoming tomorrow's work that a couple of my students wrote "Bonus" problems to challenge each other.

Common Core Math Lesson

Numbers & Operations in Base Ten

This week my little guys are working on the bundling and grouping things in tens and ones.  I went into my junk collection from kindergarten and found some great stuff:  pumpkins counters, fall counters, apple counters, ladybug counters, koosh balls, ghost erasers, colorful stones and their favorite plastic spiders.  I put them in some bags and then baskets so they do not spill them all around the room.  I put nine cups in a basket.

My little guys worked so hard.  As I  walk around I help them work as a group and reminded them to take turns.  However they loved counting the objects.  They were taking turns and helping one another. They were so excited to do their math.

It was amazing.  The lesson was so easy to create.  I just made a simple table on word and a cute graphic from kpm doodles.
