Reading Comprehensions Thanksgiving Happy Turkey Day (Grade 1) The Best Thanksgiving Ever (Grades 1-3) An East Coast Thanksgiving (Grades 2-3) IXL - GCF and LCM: word problems (6th grade math practice). Thanksgiving Themed Math Pages Always remember that grade levels are not absolutes - especially since we're all living in different countries and therefore have different curriculums. Some kindergarten children will find the Grade One worksheets useful as will some Grade Two students. The activities are pretty versatile, so you can differentiate, making the lesson easier or more difficult to fit your needs and grade level. (PK-1st) For example, here's a sample of all of the options you have for the 'Hats Off' worksheet. Because students get to play a game using dice or one of the spinners, they really enjoy the math practice.
Grade Level: K-5- (adjust the numbers to fit your students' needs!)
