Flashcards are a wonderful reinforcement in any math related area - problem solving, equivalents, conversions, etc. They are great practice for recognizing upper and lower case letters, colors, opposites, synonyms, antonyms and homonyms. They may be used to learn state capitals, dates and events in history or authors and their books.

Supplies Used: Adhesive Letters, Cardstock, Pencil, Permanent Marker

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

  1. Die-cut 4", 5" or 8" letters or numbers from construction paper or cardstock. Paper can be laminated prior to cutting for more durable flashcards (Figure A).
  2. Adhere adhesive letters or print several words or equations on the front of each die-cut letter or number (Figure B shows front and back of letter E).
  3. If a number is die-cut, it will become part of the equation.
  4. Punch a hole at the end of each word or equation.
  5. Adhere adhesive letters or print corresponding vowel sound or number next to the hole on the back of the die-cut number (Figure C).
  6. Create vowel sounds, math equations, states and capitals or other facts for match up.
  7. Poke a pencil through the punched hole to make the flashcards self-checking (Figure D).
