What kids do

“Done early? Find the missing numbers, finish the pairs and make the picture match.”

Printed on the sheet:

1. 1 Write the missing number.
2. 2 Finish each pair.
3. 3 Color the squares on the right so both halves match.
4. 4 Word ladder: change one letter each step.

Teacher tip

Have kids change one letter at a time on the word ladder and read each new word.

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.
• Model the first move or the first answer on the document camera.

Watch for

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

Talk about it

• What would you like to see on the next page?
• What was the trickiest part? How did you get past it?

Take it further

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