Worksheet
Packet
When a student
begins a new number family s/he receives a small packet
of materials. This packet includes a coversheet like
the one above, a few worksheets and blank flashcards. The
student begins his/her new number family by finding its
partners, using a circle
mat, and recording them in the circles on the coversheet.
Next, the student
completes the partner search at the bottom of the coversheet.
Partners are circled in the same manner as a Word Find.
Let the students get creative in their looping of partners.
I let students loop around 2 numbers that are not right
next to each other if they can make their loop readable.
Next, the student
makes a number family booklet.
It should be turned in for correction.
Next, the student
makes his/her flashcards. Answers are written in pencil
on the back. They need to be corrected so wrong answers
are not practiced. Send the corrected cards home with
the student for home practice.
Next, students
can work on their worksheets, or practice their flashcards
or Number Family Tub activities. I have included a
limited number of special worksheets for each packet on
this page. My worksheets also include commercial Number
Family worksheets that were created by Frank Schaeffer years
ago. I don't think they're still in print, but you
probably have other worksheets that you can include.
Tub activities
