Need an engaging way to help students practice coordinate graphing?  Have students that like the Hunger Games?  If this is true, there is a coordinate graphing activity that I've created that will do just this.



The resource includes a one quadrant graph as well as a four quadrant graph.  Here is what the finished product will look like if students only create straight lines between each coordinate.


Visit my TPT Store for this resource.

First (1st) Grade Assessment Pack and Links

I have had requests from many elementary teachers requesting assessment materials that correspond to the common core standards.  As all (or most) teachers adjust to the state adopted common core, assessments in curriculum are lacking.  The current installment I've included here includes 34 assessments that correlate directly to a whole or part of the common core standards.


Included in the assessment pack is an answer key for each appropriate assessment (two assessments do not require answer keys).   This way, you can choose to have your students self assess if you wish.  Most of the assessments can be used in more than one way, making this 80 page assessment pack a strong addition to your math curriculum. 

If you are a 1st grade teacher looking for a few resources that will help you adjust to the common core, I've included a few links that have proved helpful for many teachers:
