Lesson Planning 101

Mrs. Steven's Blog


TEA TEKS for First Grade
This week's blog is about lesson planning and different activities to use for first graders. 


Ideas for First Grade TEKS Activities:
1) Put a certain amount of pennies in a cup, take out a few, place them on a table facing up and have the kids count them. Give them the total amount of pennies but don't show them. Have the kids tell you how many were left in the cup by subtracting. (1.3)(A)

2) Have the kids go out to recess and while at it, have them all ask their playmates the same question like "What is your favorite color: blue, pink, or green?" Then when they come back in, discuss the data and create a bar graph with them organizing the results. (1.9)(A&B)


3) Cut out small squares with different amounts of dots on them like a dice would. Give them each a paper with enough space to place the squares. Each paper has different numbers like 15, 19, 10. They must search for a way to add the squares together and get the right amount for each number. (1.5)(D)
