FREE Math Folders for K-5 Learners

When I was getting my certificate in Dyslexia and Language-Based Learning Differences, I was astonished by all the books and articles I read that said that kids with a language-based learning difference are not only negatively affected in reading and writing, but in MATH, too!

Wait. What?!? I thought numbers were numbers and letters are letters.

The truth is, kids who struggle with language will have a harder time with every other subject in school, even math.

With this truth in mind, it’s important that we support our struggling learners in every subject. And that’s the purpose of these math folders!

My goal in creating these folders was to offer vocabulary support to our struggling learners. It does not contain every single math concept ever for K-5 learners. And it doesn’t necessarily show them HOW to do the computations. It mainly helps with the vocabulary by making math concepts more visual.

The file has two sections of activities, one for K-2 and one for 3-5. You are welcome to mix and match them however you see fit for your learners. My examples are just that, examples. They can just give you an idea of what a folder could look like. You know your learners better than me!

Recommended Supplies:

• colored folders (I love these!)
• cardstock (I recommend printing your pages onto cardstock)
• long-armed stapler (if you’re making tri-folded folders)
• rubber cement (best if you’re not laminating) or glue sticks
• laminator

I only used one folder for our math folders, but you could get more info into your folders by attaching them like this:

Then it could be tri-folded like our Kindergarten Spelling Folder, 1st/2nd grade spelling folder, and Elementary Spelling Folder.
