How to use it

• Keep copies in an early finisher bin kids can reach on their own.
• Teach kids the routine: finish, check your work, then pick a page.
• Let kids work with a partner so they talk through their thinking.

Watch for

Kids who rush their main work to get to the fun page. Check the main work first.

Talk about it

• Which part was the hardest?
• What would you change to make it harder?

Take it further

Have kids make their own activity for the next early finisher page.
