As we head back to school, the very first unit I t

As we head back to school, the very first unit I teach in math is NUMBER SENSE! 🔢 It is so important to build a strong foundation at the beginning of the year, and this first unit in my GUIDED MASTER Math curriculum makes it engaging, hands-on, and fun for students.

Students practice counting objects, making tallies, using ten frames, and working with a number grid to 120 through rotation-based learning that keeps them actively involved the entire time. After a quick whole-group mini lesson, students rotate through hands-on activities, games, small group with the teacher, technology, enrichment, and review. Everything is included from lesson plans and centers to assessments and even a fun craft to wrap up the unit!

This has become one of my favorite ways to start the school year because students are excited about math from day one! 💛

Comment NUMBER or SENSE for the link!

“I am just wrapping up this unit and had to share how much I love this resource! So many options to use in the classroom. My students and I especially love the teaching slides which make the concepts easier for them to understand. The small group worksheets are excellent as well. Great purchase!”

“My students loved the activities included in this resource! I highly recommend this resource as it follows the I do, we do , and you do learning. The lesson slides are engaging, the games in the manipulatives/apply skills truly help students learn the standard in a fun interactive manner with a peer, and then the small group/review/enrichment worksheets have helped me provide differentiated instruction.”
