MATH
Shark Math. This is the teacher shark. He is large. Made out of foam. You can use numbers for him to eat. Cut a triangle and staple him closed.
This is the student's shark. It is made out of an envelope. Lick and close, I like to use the ones that have the sticker as it stays closed better. Cut a triangle for the mouth, and color him gray.
Mr. Shark, Mr. Shark

Sorting/Graphing page! You can make these for ANY concept you are teaching. This is a graphing and sorting one. You draw them yourself. I used skittles as some children cannot each chocolate. There is a graphing and sorting one. I try to get the little packages from Halloween, because each child can have their own pack to use and open. Then they get to eat them. Remember when you do this to talk about most, least, and same!
Number Counting Book. I always do a popcorn theme and we graph popcorn and count popcorn etc. This is a little popcorn container that I bought from a party store and I punched holes in it to make a book. Children have to look at the number at the top and that is how many kernels they have to put in that page.
Pencil Tin Math. This is a pencil tin. They are very cheap at many stores. These numbers can be bought for one dollar a package at Dollar Tree. You can give the student the problem etc. There are many activities that can be done in this tin, spelling, sorting, and patterning also.
Number Rocks. These are number rocks you can buy, you can also buy rock letters, but why not make your own. Go on a rock hunt, clean rocks, and write letters and numbers on your own rocks for FREE :)
Sticky Learning Window. This is sticky learning. Tape up a sticky paper, and let children sort, classify, observe etc. This can actually be used for anything, it doesn't have to be math!
Old lady who swallowed a number. I made her, just put the numbers connected behind her with a brad. You could also do an animal or the old man who swallowed a letter. Options are endless! :)
Button Game. You will need plastic bags and buttons. The child draws a number. This number was 6. The child must come up with how to move the buttons around to make an addition problem!
Domino Addition, subtraction. Draw a domino and make an addition and subraction problem from it.
Subtraction Poem---Love this, make this, hand this, IN YOUR CLASSROOM
Little plastic containers with die in them, so children can shake them.
