Your students will love using math dice games, directed drawing, and writing about their art all in one fun activity! All three skills are integrated in this comprehensive, no prep collection of math practice + drawing activities AND writing templates! They are perfect for your first grade math and writing centers all year long as well as for early finishers. Since the drawings turn out different each time, students love to create over and over again!

This resource includes:

  • 11 different game boards for each theme (each practices a different math skill)
  • 11 different generic writing templates to use with any of the game boards.
