1st Grade Math Morning Work Bundle 

About this Resource

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 1st Grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 2nd grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs. 

This set contains 5 weeks of spring and summer themed morning work. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged continuously reviewing math skills. Additionally, the daily and weekly updates open doors for conversations to help you and your students get to know one another.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs we noticed in our own classrooms: Place Value, Number Sense, and Fractions. While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus.

Each week follows the same routine and structure.

>> Mathematician Monday - Problems are centered around 1st grade math review and problems leading up to the understanding of more complex problems, especially Multiplication & Division. In the 3rd-5th Grade morning work, it is called Multiplication Monday.

>> Base Ten Tuesday - All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

>> Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

>> Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from Kindergarten or the beginning of the year. Other problems come from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.

>> Fun Friday - Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions.

By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.

*Short & Sweet - There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies - Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back.)

*A Weekly Grade - My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they will earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

This set contains 2 weeks of Camping-themed morning work for the month of August. Every other month will have 4-5 weeks of Morning Work. This shortened version is the perfect time for you to try it out! The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged continuously reviewing math skills. Additionally, the daily and weekly updates open doors for conversations to help you and your students get to know one another. 

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in our own classrooms: Place Value, Number Sense, and Fractions. These have worked so well in our classroom that we decided to expand into other grade levels. While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Marvelous Monday- Problems are centered around Kindergarten math review and problems leading up to the understanding of more complex problems, especially Multiplication & Division. In the 3rd-5th Grade morning work, it is called Multiplication Monday. 

Terrific Tuesday- All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value. 

Wonderful Wednesday- No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words. 

Thoughtful Thursday- Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from Kindergarten or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.

Fun Friday- Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions in 3rd grade.

About this Resource

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 1st Grade Common Core Standards.

Each month contains 4-5 weeks of math morning work, which will have a theme around the season, national holidays, or events associated with that particular month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations. At the beginning of the year, the math will be mostly Kindergarten review and increase in difficulty as the year goes progresses. However, the morning work is intended to be a review to keep students engaged, build confidence, and complete with independence.

The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs we noticed in our own classrooms: Place Value, Number Sense, and Fractions. While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. The 1st Grade Morning Work follows the 1st Grade standards. Each week follows the same routine and structure:

*Mathematician Monday - Problems are centered around 1st Grade math review and problems leading up to the understanding of more complex problems, especially Multiplication & Division. In the 3rd-5th Grade morning work, it is called Multiplication Monday.

*Base Ten Tuesday - All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

*Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

*Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from Kindergarten or the beginning of the year. We also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.

*Fun Friday - Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions in 2nd grade.

By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.

*Short & Sweet - There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

Fewer Copies - Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade - My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they will earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students
that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th Grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

Each month contains 4-5 (except for August) weeks of math morning work, which will have a theme around the season, national holidays, or events associated with that particular month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations. At the beginning of the year, the math will be mostly 4th Grade review and increase in difficulty as the year goes on. However, the morning work is intended to be a review to keep students engaged, build confidence, and complete with independence.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my own classroom: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals). While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure:

• Multiplication Monday- Problems are centered around Multiplication.

• Base Ten Tuesday- All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

• Wordless Wednesday- No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

• Throwback Thursday- Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays are typically focused on review. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. There may also be a short sentence or paragraph in which students edit the sentence or answer a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

• Fraction Fun Friday- Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. By keeping it short, sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence in fractions while also keeping it fresh.

1st Grade Math Morning Work Bundle 

About this Resource

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 1st Grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 2nd grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs. 

This set contains 5 weeks of spring and summer themed morning work. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged continuously reviewing math skills. Additionally, the daily and weekly updates open doors for conversations to help you and your students get to know one another.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs we noticed in our own classrooms: Place Value, Number Sense, and Fractions. While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus.

Each week follows the same routine and structure.

>> Mathematician Monday - Problems are centered around 1st grade math review and problems leading up to the understanding of more complex problems, especially Multiplication & Division. In the 3rd-5th Grade morning work, it is called Multiplication Monday.

>> Base Ten Tuesday - All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

>> Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

>> Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from Kindergarten or the beginning of the year. Other problems come from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.

>> Fun Friday - Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions.

By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom.

*Short & Sweet - There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies - Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back.)

*A Weekly Grade - My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they will earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

How can you cover a LOT of critical content in a LITTLE amount of time? This ELA + Math Morning Work is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning.

ABOUT THE ELA MORNING WORK:

The bundle includes morning work for the months of August - June. Each month includes 4-5 weeks of morning work. The morning work is focused on ELA 2nd Grade Common Core Standards. Each day has a thematic structure to cover Language Standards, Grammar, as well as enhance Vocabulary and Comprehension skills.

• Meaningful Monday: Monday is focused on making meaning. Tasks will focus on vocabulary and comprehension. At the beginning of the year, tasks will include drawing a picture to go with the sentence, matching words to pictures, write about the picture, real or nonsense words, and match the sentence to the picture.
• Take a Try Tuesday: Tuesdays lead to Text Structure Tuesday in the above grade levels. In 1st Grade, students will write about the text, write about the picture, complete the sentence, and move into comprehension questions and vocabulary as the year progresses.
• Wordy Wednesday: Wednesday is all about working with words. Tasks include phonics activities, spelling sorts, homophones, and other word work activities.
• Throwback Thursday: Thursday is all about grammar usage and conventions.
• Fluency Friday: Friday is dedicated to building fluency. Students will work with sight words, complete close reading activities, poetry activities, and anything related to building fluency.

ABOUT THE MATH MORNING WORK:

• Mathematician Monday- Problems are centered around 1st Grade math review and problems leading up to the understanding of more complex problems, especially Multiplication & Division. In the 3rd-5th Grade morning work, it is called Multiplication Monday.
• Base Ten Tuesday- All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.
• Wordless Wednesday- No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.
• Throwback Thursday- Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from Kindergarten or the beginning of the year. We also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, Geometry, and Number Patterns.
• Fun Friday- Nothing says Fun Friday like Math! There is always a need to review. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence with different math skills while also keeping it fresh. The problems may also lead up to the understanding of Fractions in 2nd grade.
