What kids do

“Done early? Crack the code, build the pyramid and finish the pairs.”

Printed on the sheet:

1. What do you call a bear with no teeth?
2. 2 Number pyramid: each brick is the sum of the two bricks under it.
3. 3 Finish each pair.
4. 4 Design a new ride for the playground.
5. Label its parts.

Teacher tip

Let kids share their playground ride design with the class.

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.
