Looking for a HUGE, ready-to-teach geometry unit t Looking for a HUGE, ready-to-teach geometry unit that keeps first graders engaged in math every day? 🦉🔺

This GUIDED MASTER Math curriculum is built around the idea that students learn best when they experience math in many different ways. This unit dives deep into 2-D and 3-D shapes, attributes, polygons, and even halves and fourths!

Each lesson starts with a whole-group mini lesson, then students rotate through activities that match the MASTER model: Manipulatives, Apply Skills, Small Group, Technology, Enrichment, and Review. You get everything you need—lesson plans, SMART Notebook files, printable centers, Boom and Google Slides activities, assessments, progress tracking sheets, and a fun Owl Shape Craft as a culminating project.

It is structured, engaging, and truly teacher-friendly… all planned out for you.

💬 Comment “shapes” or “master” for the link!

If you’re looking for a wonderful story to start t If you’re looking for a wonderful story to start the year with a growth mindset, The Magical Yet is one of my favorites!

With mistakes, patience, practice, hard work, and a little help from the Magical Yet, they can keep working toward their goals. ✨
