¡Los mejores recursos para el Día del Trabajador y la Trabajadora! 🧑‍🏫 

This is how my students learn how to compare and contrast.
I pre-teach some vocabulary (in this case animals), and ask them to choose two animals. Then, they have to group the words according to their similarities or differences.
Once they've learnt how to classify the information, they can start working with more complex sentences.

Use it when your students need to practise reading skills. This one is about Pedro and Juan. Your students have to identify similarities and differences between these two characters. Use a Venn Diagram to write the answers.

This test is about giraffes and birds.
The students read and identify the story elements. Then, they have to compare and contrast both animals in a venn diagram.
Finally, you can decide asking them to write sentences about animals.

I love this story from Erik Brooks. I downloaded it from youtube.

It's great for practising listening comprehension but also to talk about similarities and differences. The story is about a polar bear and a penguin who live on opposite sides of the world. They are different but they also have some things in common...They live in cold places, they are vertebrates... Try to elicit some more answers from your students!
After your students have listened and discussed about the story, they can write some similarities and differences between Alex and Zina. I'd project it on the board and check the answers together. Since there are not so many similarities in the story, your students will have to use their previous knowledge about the animals.

This interactive notebook is designed with the Launch, Explore, Discuss model. I provide a brief explanation at the beginning of the notebook to familiarize you with this model, and I also detail the steps as we use them.

If you are looking for this resource in Spanish, here is the link:

CN02 OA4: Observe, compare and contrast the characteristics of different habitats, identifying luminosity, humidity and temperature needed for animals' survival. 

The objective of this worksheet is for students to identify characteristics of different habitats, so they can match each habitat with its description, to solve the crossword.

This product includes 20 task cards with real life problems where the students have to compare and order decimal numbers.

Includes:

- 20 color task cards

- 20 white and black task cards

My suggestion if that you print them, laminate them and paste them around the classroom for students to walk from to the other solving the problems.

This file was designed for students to practice divisions, multiplications, subtraction and how to compare and order decimal numbers.

It contains information about the planets, the dwarf planets and the moon. This information is available in two formats:

1. Task cards to be printed and pasted around the room or the space that the teacher wants for the students to collect the information.

2. A document with all the information to give to each one of the students and for them to answer the questions.

It also includes:

Two workshops:

1. A guide for each student to find his/her weight on different planets, dwarf planets and the moon.

2. A workshop with analysis questions.

The teacher can also give the weight of an animal or an object to the students and ask them to find its weight in the different places.

The task cards have information about the planets so they can also be used for the science class.

Although we already know our weight on Earth, information on the planet is included in case the teacher wants to use the cards for a different activity.

This Math Trivia covers all 1st grade contents. It is a very fun and exciting way to review! I gave each student a little whiteboard where they had to write their answer. Every question slide is followed by an answer slide. The Trivia includes: numbers up to 100, compare and order numbers, skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s, straight and curved lines, interpret pictograph data, addition and subtraction.
