Printing is the responsibility of the buyer. Your files will print exactly as we sent them - If they look different in any way once printed, that's a technical issue with your printer or printer settings; not the files sent to you. For example, if the files 'view' crisply but 'PRINT' blurry, that means that you're printing a lower resolution than provided. If only a portion of the file is printing, that's an indication that you'll need to select 'Fit To Page' in your printer settings so that it will print the entire page. If the files are printing in slightly different colors, you might need to adjust the color intensity settings on your printer. >>>> MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED TO PRINT FROM HOME <<<< • Printer • Scissors or paper cutter • Paper: We recommend bright white, 100 pound matte finish card stock for non-photo invites and heavy weight, premium photo paper in a soft/semi gloss for photo invites. >>>> COLOR VARIATIONS <<<< Colors may vary from one computer monitor to another, quality of printer used, as well as the many different types or brands of paper and ink you're printing with.

Have fun learning to subitize dot patterns to ten with our fast-to-prep, engaging math game. This printable card game is ideal for small group math rotations or center work. Students will play with a partner or small group to match numerals to the dots of their board, aiming for 5 in a row. What is subitizing When students can subitize, they are able to tell the number of objects in a set, instantly - they don't need to count each item. Most commonly, you can teach students to subitize with dots, ten frames and fingers. Subitizing Patterns - Standard and Non-Standard 'Standard' dot patter arrangements are those common patterns you see on dice, dominoes and math equipment. Learning to subitize non-standard arrangements is important too and will require your students being able to visualize the common or standard patterns and manipulating them in their mind. Work with the standard patterns first. Playing board games is often a child's first experience with dot patterns, those on a dice. Play lots of games and specially-made learning games, like this one of ours - 5 in a Row! Extend your learners - conceptual subitizing When your students are confident with the patterns of a particular activity (perceptual subitizing) we encourage you to teach conceptual subitizing. This is where 2 patterns are shown to a student and they can combine them (add them) instantly to know the total. Think of throwing a double 6 in a board game. They would know instantly that this is 12 if they are able to conceptually subitize. To encourage this in 5 in a Row, ask them to flip 2 cards, and find the total before covering the 2 numbers. They may need to count the total the first few times they play, but with repetition they will know the total of 2 cards, instantly. Play it over and over to give them this opportunity to develop. Our game 5 in a Row will help teach subitizing to ten with standard patterns. It is a perfect place to start your learners! Non-standard dot pattern arrangements We've also prepared something extra for you to extend your fastest learners - and it is FREE today! Roll and Cover is so easy to prep (just print the page). It will help teach subitizing of non-standard patterns for 1 to 6. Students roll a standard 6 sided die and place a counter over a matching number (non standard pattern). Playing this will help them bridge the gap between standard and non-standard patterns. Find it here in Google Drive: Roll and Cover Free Game From the Pond

An exotic and colourful Moroccan Couscous with chickpeas, roasted red peppers, diced carrots, toasted almonds and plump raisins are tossed in a fragrant dressing of fresh garlic, tangy lemon juice, fruity extra virgin olive oil and an aromatic combination of fragrant seasonings: ground coriander, cumin and cinnamon. Simple and delicious, the dressing really highlights the roasted vegetables, which have already been sweetened and intensified in flavour during cooking. The chickpeas, and excellent source of protein, fibre and vitamins, add their own wonderful flavour and texture to this festive dish. Another feature of Moroccan Couscous is that it can be varied in endless ways: the carrots and red pepper can easily be replaced by sweet potato, pumpkin or eggplant; pistachios, pine nuts or walnuts can be used in lieu of almonds, and chopped dates, apricots or prunes can easily be replaced by the raisins. Light and delicious served either warm or cold, this colourful Moroccan Couscous salad is excellent paired with grilled lamb, chicken or even a traditional Tagine. Moroccan Couscous with roasted vegetables, chickpeas & almonds Serves 4 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 carrots, cut into quarters lengthways and thinly sliced 2 red peppers, diced 1 zucchini, thinly sliced 1 red onion, cut into wedges and separated 1/2 cup slivered almonds 4 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp turmeric 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp ground coriander 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp salt 2 cups couscous 1/2 cup raisins 2 1/2 cups chicken stock, brought to a boil 2 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped plus extra for garnish 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped plus extra for garnish 
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Toss the carrot, red pepper, zucchini and red onion in a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and bake for 15 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, lightly toast the almonds in a frying pan until they're golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and salt, and mix well. Five minutes before the vegetables have finished roasting, mix the couscous, turmeric and raisins in a large bowl and pour over the boiling stock. Cover with plastic wrap to seal in the steam, and let sit for five minutes. Then fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains and stir through the carrot, red pepper, red onion, almonds, chickpeas, mint and cilantro. Pour over the dressing and toss together until well combined. Serve on a large platter, either warm or at room temperature with a garnish of cilantro and chopped mint.
