Description

These back to school and first week of school activities were designed with community, teamwork, and relationship-building in mind so that students can get to know each other while performing fun math activities in upper elementary and middle school.

Also included in these bundles:

• This product is part of my Back to School Activities: HUGE BUNDLE
• This resource is part of my Back to School Activities: Math and Science Bundle

This resource includes:

• 30+ math activities for the first weeks of school.
• All pintables, resources, and examples included.
• Black and white versions available for easy printing

I created this pack after my first year of teaching when I learned (the hard way) just how vital the first few weeks of school are.

I realized I needed to really get to know my students, but I also learned I wanted to use the time in the first few weeks to allow my students to explore and learn important concepts in all subjects. There are a variety of great activities to do in the first few weeks, and math activities are great for getting to know your students.

These activities were also designed with community, teamwork, and relationship-building in mind so that students can get to know each other while performing fun math activities.
