✔Lots of coloring fun. I’ve intentionally designed this packet with lots of pictures and borders to color. A MUST: Using a set of crayons or markers.

One of the reasons these packets are great resources in teachers' classrooms is that they are easy to use, print & go, and every student is ENGAGED! I've had many students become disengaged in Math in my classroom and the only way to "bring them back" to engagement and learning was through a fun puzzle or activity where they didn't realize they were "doing math". These activities are great for below grade level, on grade level and above grade level students in that each type of student is challenged to learn a new way to solve a math puzzle activity. I hope that your students enjoy these Fall Math activities too. 

Happy Teaching!
