These 1st & 2nd grade math lesson plans for August are packed full of back to school math activities that your students will love! They can be used for several days of your math block OR as emergency sub plans and you can rest easy knowing they are busy with meaningful math activities while you are away.
A copies for students list and a lesson checklist are included to make your prep easy peasy! Then, each math lesson includes a quick math review, fluency practice, a math riddle activity, a word problem activity, backward story problem activity, and a math game. A color-by-math problem for each lesson is also included for fast finishers. Each of the three lessons should cover a math block.
Wherever needed, differentiated content is included in the plans for 1st and 2nd grades. These are subtly marked with icons so you can easily tell which is which. You can utilize the grade-level version or use both for differentiation.
Please look through the preview which includes an overview of the 1st & 2nd grade math lesson plans for August PLUS sample pages. Additionally, please note that these sub-plans are NOT editable. They are print-and-go!
