PRIMER ACTIVITy PAgES

In this file you will find two extra activity pages for each lesson in Primer. These pages are intended to be an enjoyable way for students to practice what they have been learning in the lessons. (There are no solution pages for the extra activities.)

You may schedule these pages in any way that is useful to you. Just be sure that the student is comfortable with the new concept in each lesson before trying the activities. Students may need a little help getting started with some of them. Our hope is that students will finish Primer with a smile on their face and a positive attitude towards math. Continuing in that same spirit, let these activity sheets be lighthearted and fun.

Check your instruction manual for more games and teaching tips.
