How to use these worksheets
- Counting Shamrocks & St. Patrick’s Day Counting: Start with these for young learners. Have them physically point to and count the shamrocks or items. Encourage them to say the numbers aloud.
- Ten Frame Match Up: Use this to reinforce number recognition and visual representation of numbers. Encourage your child to say the number associated with each ten frame.
- St. Patrick’s Day Patterns: Focus on identifying the repeating elements in each pattern. Before coloring, have your child verbally describe the pattern (e.g., “green, yellow, green, yellow”).
- Subtraction Word Problems & Gold Coin Addition: Read the word problems aloud together, emphasizing key information. For “Gold Coin Addition,” encourage the use of manipulatives like real coins or drawings to visualize the problem. For subtraction word problems, encourage drawing the problems out.
- Count and Compare: After counting each set, have your child explain why one set is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. For example, “There are more shamrocks on the left because…”
- Leprechaun Hat Size Sort: Before cutting, discuss the concept of size (smallest to largest). After pasting, have your child explain their reasoning for the order they chose.
- Counting Coins: Begin by identifying each type of coin and its value. Then, have your child add the values together step-by-step.
- The Leprechaun’s Missing Numbers: For number sequences, ask your child to identify the pattern (e.g., counting by ones, twos, tens). For the OA.C.3 standard, encourage them to look for patterns within the number chart.
- Graphing Leprechaun Favorites: Before completing the graph, review the data provided. After completing the graph, ask questions like, “Which symbol was chosen the most? The least?” and “How many more leprechauns liked X than Y?”
