Election Lessons and Activities: Election Number Fun

I've Got Your Number! Election Math

election activities, election lessons, election stuff, election buttons, election ballots, election math activities, election writing prompts, election booklet, When I’m doing a themed unit like the election, I like to cover all of my subjects, so I whipped together a Math Election Packet for you.

This 40-page packet has a nice variety of activities.

Including:

  • Counting by 1's
  • Skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5s and 10's
  • Traceable number cards, with covers to make Itty Bitty booklets
  • Trace and write number activities for all the different counting +
  • "What's Missing?" worksheets too.
  • Addition and subtraction activities with picture manipulatives,
  • Greater and less than activities with picture manipulatives
  • Traceable number cards for these activities,
  • and even a page of online research activities directly related to the current election.

Teachers/parents can give this information to younger students, and assign the research aspect of it, as a fun online assignment for older students.

I’ve included a blank number template for students or adults to fill in additional numbers greater than 50 for more difficult addition and subtraction equations.

Students can sequence these as well as make equations with them. Pair up children and have them play “Speed” games to see who can solve problems the quickest, or sequence a set of numbers the fastest.

You can also use the manipulatives to make patterns, or have students design a shape (circle, triangle, rectangle, square) with them.

Election Lessons and Activities: Voter Registration I.D. Cards

Election Fun: Show Me Your Card!

A Voter Registration I. D. is a fun way for students to practice writing their name and address.

It's also a good way to assess how they are listening and following directions, as they fill out pertinent information that they should know, on an "important" form.

To make the Voter Registration I.D. more realistic, have students glue their school photograph in the box provided.  If you don't have one, they can draw a self-portrait.

Teacher's sign the template on the teacher blank space, before they run off copies.  So that students can make up their own, refer to your signature, when you are explaining what a signature is to your students.

Have children show you their Voter Registration I.D. before they vote in your mock election.

To show them how important their I.D is, if they've forgotten it, when they come up to vote, send them back to their desk to get it, before they can cast their vote.

Afterwards, you might even want to have a discussion whether they think a voter I.D. is important, and discuss how voters verify who they are in real state and national elections, before they can vote.

Students trace the alphabet letters and election words and then write them. Teachers can have older students define them as well.

Keeping a dictionary is a wonderful way to build vocabulary and categorize specific words that go with a large theme, that students will be reading, and studying about, like the election.

Encourage students to use these words in their writing. Add these words to a separate election portion of your word wall.

I've made word wall word flashcards for all of these words + a patriotic election header card for your word wall, if you'd like to post them. Click on the link to view/download Election Word Wall Word Flashcards.

I've included a certificate of praise when students have completed their Election Dictionary. What a nice booklet your students will have at the end of November to take home and share with their families.
