Hello! I’m so excited about this post! I can finally share that I am making guided math units for all three primary grades K, 1, and 2! First and second grade are completely finished and kindergarten has 3 units finished! A year of guided math lessons aligned to the common core and Texas Teks! (y’all)
I have got you covered from the first day…..
to the very last day!!!
Before I break this down by grade level, the vertical alignment of K,1, and 2 runs throughout these units! If you have high kids or low kids that aren’t fitting the lessons or differentiation in your own grade level, try the next one up or down! The units do not have to be taught in a particular order! So mix and match all ya like!
Kindergarten
I began the kindergarten adventure with numbers 0-10 for unit 1. Let’s take a peek at some of these lessons!
Inside the Unit:
Each lesson contains
- The essential question
- Lesson objective
- Whole group teaching time
- Discussion questions
- Materials list
- Guided practice/Small Group
- Games/Activities
Lessons 1-10 focus on numbers to 5
Lessons 10-19 focus on numbers 6-10
Lesson 20 is a unit assessment
No matter how you structure your math block, you will find the materials that are just right!
I keep the lesson plans in black and white (with a few color options here and there) It’s easy to print and teach! I love to add color to create interest on the laminated guided practice activities.

Amazing! You are an inspiration!
Are you planning to create guided math units for 4th grade? A primary colleague of mine speaks so highly of your units, and I would love to have one to use with my students.
I cannot find the First 20 Days freebie either! I scrolled through the whole post… a million times! What am I missing?
At the bottom of the post, you can click the launching guided math picture or the text that says launching guided math. It will take you to the download.
OMG! My Kindergarten Team and our 1st grade team will be using this next Fall! We are beyond excited!!!! Thank you so much!!!
I can’t find a link for the first day of school tags.
Those are the “day one lesson” of the first grade and second grade guided math unit 1 units.
They are in unit 1.
I have to share this with my 2nd grade team.
Will you be making for 4th as well? Hope so.
Do you plan on making a set for third grade?
Do you make more than one set of each center so multiple children can be doing the same activity at once?
Please do one of these for 3rd grade. When I taught 2nd I was fortunate enough to be able to use some of your products and they are fabulous. I saw you have a guided math product for K-2. I am hopeful you wil one day take on the task of creating these for other grade levels I have heard so many great things from teachers who have used this product.
Pretty please, I need one for 3rd grade!!! I love everything you do!
I am looking to purchase the dismissal cards that you have posted but I am unable to find them (bus rider, walker, bike rider, after school, car rider, walker). I have looked on your TPT site and I am still unable to find them. I would like to use them for my classroom dismissal cards this upcoming year. Please get back to me at your earliest convince.
Thank You!
Those are part of a lesson for guided math where they build their transportation graph on the first day. They are in a unit called,Guided Math Unit 1 First Grade.
Where is the correlation guide to the Texas TEKS? The first few lessons have teks listed but none after.
I’m looking to buy the stations by standard for first grade separately but I am unable to find unit 1 number sense? Is there a separate unit of this that I can buy? Or not? Don’t want to buy the others if not. Thanks!
Hi Lindsey! Here’s the link:

We have purchased and used pieces of this K guided math bundle and love it. Next year, we would like to incorporate it more into our curriculum, but with a spiral review approach instead of a unit approach. I’m curious if anyone uses this bundle in this way and has a schedule of lessons already mapped out??? (I put this question on your teachers pay teachers page for this product as well.)
Thanks!

What other resources, supplies or manipulatives will I need outside of this curriculum? (Ex. Counting bears…. )
Hello!
We are reaching out to you because we are scheduling an inservice soon reserved to review Math curriculum samples. We are meeting next Friday, March 26th. We are very interested in previewing your K-5 (or even K-2) Guided Math curriculum. I know this is really short notice (my apologies!), but would there be a chance we could receive some samples by then or have access to review them digitally?
Thanks for your assistance!
