Free Addition from Within 5 to 1 Million Practice Book

 Free Addition Practice for All Elementary Levels

Addition Within 5 to Addition Within 1 Million

It's time for another wonderful math freebie! This one is for ALL elementary levels - a unit combined into 1! Want MORE math freebies? Check out my Math Page Here!

Whether you want some addition pages to show your child's learning in their portfolio, or you'd like to help them practice their addition skills, this unit will be perfect for any elementary-level math student.

Starting with addition within 5, this workbook includes simple pages and manipulative for children who are just beginning to add. (Feel like your kiddo isn't ready for addition yet? Start out with my FREE subitizing unit here!)

The workbook then progresses to addition within 10, then 20. It then begins with regrouping problems within 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000, and 1 million! That covers basic addition standards for all levels in grades 1 through 6 (in the Quebec Education Program - see below)

• In grades 1-2 (Addition within 1000)
• In grades 3-4 (Addition within 100 000)
• In grades 5-6 (Addition within 1 000 000)

I've also included some blank pages for kids to write their own equations, along with some spinners they can use to get numbers. Something my own kids love to do is use an online dice roller on my mobile phone - it brings a bit of digital fun to our math time!

You could also add dice, darts, or just let kids make up their own equations. Another fun idea is to let kids write the equations, then have you solve them, while they correct them.

Free Addition Regrouping Unit for All Elementary Learners

 

Free Addition Regrouping Unit for All Elementary Learners

Want more free math resources? Check out my math resource page!

For some kids, math concepts come pretty easily. Most of us were taught to add numbers with regrouping using the standard algorithm - carry the tens (or hundreds or thousands) and add. For some people however, understanding this concept can be tricky. For MANY kids, understanding WHY we are carrying numbers over to other columns can seem downright confusing. This is where I found myself a few weeks ago with my youngest kiddo.

While she could certainly solve a problem using regrouping, she just wasn't understanding WHY we need to regroup when we add. In so many curriculums, especially homeschool curriculums it seems, the explanations just don't go far enough for some kids.

That where I hope this unit can help!

Obviously, we all want our kids and learners to be able to add using the standing algorithm ... eventually. So while I love the technique of showing kids how regrouping is done with place value blocks and other tools, there's a big bridge to gap between this and writing and solving an actual equation on paper.

While it definitely will benefit younger kids to spend more time with hands-on activities, I made this unit in hopes that it can be a middle ground between math concepts. It starts off very simple - by explaining what a digit is and how it is a single symbol.

Next, it goes into breaking numbers down into tens and ones. Examples are given with both equations, charts, and place value blocks. 

Finally, the unit dives into adding with regrouping by asking kids to think about what happens if we add 1 to 19 when adding vertically?

The unit then gives plenty of examples and "together work" (whole group) and some individual practice too. I have also included blank pages and manipulatives that can be used during the lessons.

The unit is 50 pages long and can be divided up into a few days or a few weeks of work, depending on where your kid(s) is in their learning journey. It is an open-and-go type unit in a workbook format that can be printed out and either spiraled together or put into a binder.

It even has a fun cover page that your kids can decorate!

If you'd like to take a look at the unit, be my guest - it is absolutely free! You can download it by clicking on the link under the image below. I do plan on creating a subtraction unit in the coming weeks too for when we (my kids and I) get to that! Hopefully before the new year.

Free Yoga Math Practice Cards - Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division

A surprise freebie to start your week?

I came up with these cards today while trying to think of some creative ways to get my very active 8-year-old to practice her basic math facts. She loves yoga and loves to move, so I figured why not combine the two!

These precious cards include 12 different yoga poses and all four operations - addition within 20, subtraction within 20, multiplication tables to 12 and division tables to division by 12.

The art is precious too (by an artist named Tanya Kart) and I've set them on a lovely watercolour background. 

The idea is to get your kiddos to say their facts while practicing a pose - a great mind-body-math connection exercise! It will help them focus and make your math memorization feel more like fun than work!

Free Quebec History Mystery 4: Daily Life for the Iroquoians Around 1500

 Free Quebec History Mystery 4: Daily Life for the Iroquoians Around 1500

Want to see the other free History Mysteries? Keep THIS page bookmarked!

Are your learners ready for a new dive into history? In this unit, they will learn all about what an Iroquoian village looked like around 1500, what a longhouse was, and the different responsibilities men and women had.

If you have never used a history mystery before, you'll love how simple they are to implement, whether you are a homeschooler or in a co-op or classroom. All your learner(s) will need to do is scan the QR codes (or click on them) to read a few short paragraphs of information. They will then answer questions and earn a badge for solving the 'history mystery'.

It's just a fun way to keep them wanting to learn more - and collect all the badges as they go!

In this unit, I have also included a fun project idea that is entirely optional. Since kids will be learning what an Iroquoian village looked like, why not spend an afternoon making a diorama of one. It would make a great addition to a learning portfolio, and kids can use their favourite craft mediums or even use items they find outside in nature to build them. They could even build it outside at the park, take a photo, then leave it behind!

However you use this little history unit, I hope it helps you and your kids enjoy learning about the history of Quebec just a little bit more!

Free Fictional Narrative Writing Unit for Grades 3-4 (Cycle 2 elementary)

Free Fictional Narrative Writing Unit for Grades 3 and 4 (Elementary Cycle 2) 

Want more free writing units? Check out my ELA page here!

Have you ever sat down with your learner to write and felt like you had no idea where to begin? These writing units will help you guide your child through the writing process of writing a fictional narrative - a made-up story!

Kids LOVE to make up stories - whether they do it on paper or by playing with toys or with friends and siblings. They love to imagine different worlds, make up characters, and create in-depth story lines - sometimes it's just difficult for some to put that on paper.

That is where I hope these units will be helpful! 

If you are a homeschooler and your child has never written a story before that they have revised and edited, then this unit is perfect for you! Even if your kiddo has been through the writing process before, this unit makes it super easy to show your child's writing in a learning portfolio, or help prepare them for more formal writing later on.

The unit is made to be printed like a workbook, so it's best to have a copy for each kid. It also includes some writing paper at the back in case you need it. 

Starting Out

Kids will start by learning about what a fictional narrative is. I definitely recommend you go through this portion with your kiddo, unless they are a really advanced reader and you think they'll understand it. It would also be great, as I mention in the 'How to use this unit' page that you have a fictional book on hand that your child really enjoys. That way, you can point to examples in that book to show them as they revise their own writing.

Planning the Story

After learning what a fictional narrative is, kids will need to choose whether they want their story to be realistic or unrealistic. After that, they can either choose to use one of the writing prompts included in the unit, or they can make up their own.

Then comes the planning! Kids will map out their story (the beginning, middle, and end) and then create a setting and characters. 

Revising & Editing

After this, they'll be ready to write their first draft. Once they have their story down they will be encouraged to add a great beginning to their story (a lead) and then add in some dialogue. I recommend using these revising pages as they are easy to implement and won't take your child much time. Absolutely plan to use them on a different day than they write their story though - it's always best tp look at it with fresh eyes!

Finally, kids will edit and publish their story by retyping or writing it, then sharing it with you or a friend.

And enjoy learning!

FREE Science Journal: Plants Basic Needs

 Free Science Journal for K-2

Plants Needs

Want more free science journals? See all of my science freebies here!

Teaching kids about plants can be so much fun, especially when they actually get to grow something! In this unit, learners will learn about what plants need to live and do a FUN and SIMPLE experiment regrowing the top of a carrot!

Plants are something that most kids are naturally interested in. They can be seen inside and outside and almost anywhere they go, so it makes sense that they would be curious about them. Learning about plants needs at this stage is pretty simple - kids need to know the basics. Plants need water, air, and light!

This simple unit shows kids how these things all help plants grow from a seed into a flower or fruit, which makes more seeds. They will look at the life cycle of a sunflower as an example, learn about the different parts of a plant, and answer some simple questions.

Regrowing the top of a carrot is super simple. You'll just need a small container of water, and the top of  a carrot. We have done this many times and it always goes really well! After a few days, you'll notice the carrot's leaves start sprouting again at its top, and they will indeed grow into full leaves. They are delicious and safe to eat too! Just be sure to change the water daily. 

You could even take this experiment a step further by sprouting the top in water, then planting it into the soil. The carrot should grow leaves and small flowers - which will contain carrot seeds!

I do hope that this unit brings some learning and fun to your homeschool or class.
