Description

For all your pumpkin fun, here’s an I-spy that will meet the needs of all your little learners. This unit is differentiated to meet the readiness levels of your various learners. You can be certain to engage all your students without frustrating students still mastering the skill of number recognition 1-10 or boring those students who are ready to be challenged a bit more with numbers 1-20.

In this unit, students use magnifying glasses to find hidden numbers. Because I know how expensive color printing can be for teachers, I have included the option for black and white I-spy mats and response sheets for each item in the packet. For each skill listed below, you get an I-Spy, a colored and black/white response sheet and an “I Can . . .” poster to help make your station more independent.
(Please make sure you check out the preview page to see just how much is offered in this 47 paged packet.)
