Worksheet: Missing Numbers 1-10

I really like this worksheet I got at a website I found while searching at Google. The first time my students saw the worksheet, they were amazed by the "snakes".  As you can see, there are missing numbers on the each snake's body and the students are to fill in those missing numbers 1-10 and backwards.
Because I still had time, I let them color the snakes. That's Math and Art in one! :) The kids love doing it. 

Note: I forgot where I found the worksheet but if you happen to own the worksheet, please let me know so that you'll be acknowledged. Thank you for sharing this on the web too. It's a great help for teachers like me. 

If you happen to be a teacher like me who would like to get hold a copy of this worksheet, please let me know and leave your email address on the comments section below so that I can send it to you for free.

Face Shapes


This activity on shapes promotes creativity among children and develops eye-hand coordination. It also shows their learning on the basic shapes. Not only that, they also enjoy doing the activity and compare their art work to their classmates. 

Materials: 
1. Bond Paper
2. Colored Papers
3. Glue
4. Scissors

Procedure:
1. Make sure to introduce the different shapes first. Put a sample of artwork in front. 
2. Have them cut a big circle from one of their colored papers. Paste on a bond paper.
3. Instruct them to cut shapes that will become the different parts of the face. Allow creativity

Note: The picture above are sample outputs of students.

Teaching numbers with shapes


Materials needed:
1. a "bingo shapes" card (see photo)
2.  flashcard for each shape (folded)
3. glue
4. crayons

Procedure:
Today, my lesson in Math was on the number 4. For the past few days, my students can already identify and count the first three numbers. I used the following simple yet enjoyable time-on-task activity for kids. It does not only develop the skill of counting numbers but also the eye-hand coordination and coloring skills of the kids. This is also a good review for identifying different shapes.
1. Distribute the bingo shapes card to each students. Tell them to paste the card to their notebooks. Assist students who need help with the glue.
2. Hold the flash cards of shape and fold them in such a way that the kids could not see the shape drawn in each card.
3. Ask the pupils to get the red crayon and raise them.
4. Once you have seen that all the students were able to raise the red crayon, call one child to select a card (the ones that you folded) and let him/her show the card to the classmates. Ask "what shape can you see?"
5. Assuming that the child selected the heart shape, then say "color all the heart shape in your card red".
6. Once the children are done with the coloring, tell them to count the number of hearts. Expected answer is 4.
7. Repeat procedure #s 3 to 6 but use different colors for different shapes. Make sure to let the students count each shape after coloring to emphasize the number 4.
