    Math Doodles: First Grade Math Skills + Fun!

    Here’s an easy way to make math time more fun!

    Integrate math, art and writing to practice ANY math skill through the whole year!

    math doodles cover for any first grade math skill

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    Here’s how it works:

    1. Choose a math skill to practice. (ie: Addition Doubles)
    2. Use the built-in spinner to choose a number to double. (ie: Spin a 2)
    3. Write the equation in one of the spaces provided. Find the answer. (ie: 2+2=4)
    4. Use the answer (4) to choose which doodle design to use on the Doodle Chart.
    5. Use that design to fill in ANY part of the picture.
    6. Repeat until all 20 of the equation spots are filled and the picture is done.
    7. Cut off the bottom (math equations) to hand in, and keep the picture.
    8. Choose any of the differentiated writing templates to write about the picture.

    STUDENT DIRECTIONS

    Each seasonal unit includes both teacher instructions and student instructions, with illustrations reminding students about how to play and where their equations should be written.

    You will find that students quickly become independent with this activity, so it’s perfect for your  centers all year long with seasonal pictures.
