St. Patrick’s Day Math Printables

St. Patrick's Day Math Printables

If you’d like to add in a little math learning for St. Patrick’s Day, this printable set has a little bit of everything to help you out and make it fun! 

St Patricks Day Math Printables

Sort numbers by even or odd with this simple activity. If your child isn’t quite ready for that, use the numbers to work on numerical order from 1-30 (or as high as you can go). Another option is working on counting backwards, first from 10 and then from 20. 

greater than and less than

Talk about greater than and less then with this rainbow activity. Write two different numbers in the cloud and then draw the greater than or less than sign in the middle. This activity is also a great way to get in a little number writing practice as well as understanding the concept of greater than and less than. 

tally marks

Tally marks are another area to focus on, so roll the St. Patrick’s Day die to get in some practice for this. You can slide it into this Dry Erase Activity Center and play it several times.

Just a few fun printables to share, but hope they are a help to you all as well! All of the above pages are in the file to download below.

President Fact Files – Free Printable

This year to go along with our U.S/ History studies, the boys and I have been learning about the United States presidents. With it also being an election year, it has been fun to take a look back at the different presidents as well and talk about their terms in office and impact they made on our country. 

To help the boys keep their hands busy during our reading time, I put together some simple President Fact Files for them to color and complete as we talk about each president. Each fact sheet is a half sheet and black and white (to help save on ink costs). All 45 U.S. Presidents are shown, and there is a blank half-sheet included so your kids can make their own as well – let them pretend they are president! 

Each page has room to record the following information: 

  • President’s name
  • Birth date
  • Death date
  • Order served as president
  • Term of office
  • Political party
  • Vice-president(s)
  • First lady
  • Fun fact

We’ve been using the below books to help us fill in the information blanks on each president: 


Download the President Fact Files

Your family is more than welcome to download the 23 page President Fact Files as well – and we hope they are a help to you!

Don’t Miss The Daily To-Do List

Daily to do list free printable

 
My Daily To-Do List is pretty basic, but hopefully it will work for you too. There is an area to make a list of things to accomplish, household goals, appointment, meals for the day, and even a space to record exercise and water intake. Each page in the document is identical so you can print them off, cut the page in half, and have two lists. If you print them front to back, you’ll have four to-do lists and save a little paper.

Hope you all have a wonderful month!! I’d love to hear your plans!
