Spring is in the air, and your students are excited about the warmer days. Like you, they may be counting the days until spring break or even summer break. Now is a great time to use some fun and engaging spring and Easter-themed resources in your classroom. Using digital and printable resources will also help you reach all your students. Differentiation is also helpful because students can start with easier questions then move to more challenging questions as they gain confidence. Check out these Easter resources your upper elementary math students will love.
1. Equivalent Fractions Differentiated Worksheets
If your students need more practice with Equivalent Fractions, these differentiated worksheets are perfect. Students start with level 1 (the easiest questions) then move to levels 2 and 3 (more challenging questions) as they gain more confidence.
You can also find these worksheets in the Easter Fraction Bundle and Easter Math Bundle. These bundles would make great sub plans, morning work, or even math centers for your classroom.
2. Easter Multiplication Game Similar to Jeopardy
Everyone loves a fun game of Jeopardy. This game is great if your students are excited about spring break and have a hard time focusing. They’ll have so much fun playing the game that they’ll forget their practicing multi-digit multiplication.
Categories and questions are editable so that you can customize them for your class. You can use the questions as written, change a few, or completely customize them to your needs. It’s completely flexible.
Questions are linked back to the interactive game board to make it easy to navigate. Once you visit a question, the link on the game board will change from purple to grey to let you know that you have already used that question.
3. Spring Themed Adding 4 Digit Numbers Color by Code Boom Cards
Students love color by code resources. Using digital color by code is great because there is no prep and grading. These spring-themed Boom cards are so much fun because they are interactive, and students receive immediate feedback so they can learn from their mistakes.
Students digitally color in two spring-themed images while answering twenty-two questions on adding four-digit numbers.
