Questions and answers

Is there a kindergarten guided math lesson plan template?

Yes. The kindergarten sheet has three short groups with a counting or number task and the tools on the table, and a line for a whole-group song, story or count. Kindergarten is our suggestion: no sheet prints a grade.

Does it work for 4th and 5th grade?

Yes. The sheet with problem sets has a Problem of the day line and columns for Problem set, Error to watch for and Challenge. Upper grades is our label, and Standard or skill is an empty line.

Is there a guided math lesson plan template PDF?

Yes. The print button opens the print window of your browser; set its destination to Save as PDF. One sheet is saved at a time.

Does the page make the groups or the problems?

No. It prints forms to plan on. The sample is a made-up week on fractions that names tasks and gives no answers.
