Free Teaching Resources and Printable Worksheets

Short answer: This page collects PriorityLearn’s free printable worksheets: a fillable Basics of 3D Printing worksheet, a 12-worksheet kindergarten English literacy sample pack and a Text Feature Hunt for any book. Each one is a PDF you can print or fill in on screen. Below each download you’ll find what’s inside, who it suits and how to use it, plus links to our other guides for teachers.

Good worksheets save prep time when they target one skill clearly and fit into a lesson you’re already teaching. The three below were made for exactly that: a quick check after an introduction to 3D printing, literacy practice for early learners, and a text features activity that works with whatever books your class is reading.

Basics Of 3D Printing Worksheet

Basics of 3D Printing
Fillable PDF · 2 pages · 13 answer boxes

A free worksheet for an introduction to 3D printing class. Students answer short questions on both pages, and the answer boxes are fillable, so they can type directly into the PDF or print it out.

  • What is 3D printing, and what is another name for it?
  • Which parts are major components of a 3D printer (controller board, filament, engine, print bed)?
  • List five uses of a 3D printer and name five filament types
  • Label the parts of a 3D printer diagram
  • Name the three most popular types of 3D printers

Use it as an exit ticket after a first lesson or as a quick pre-test before a unit. For background on costs, safety and classroom uses, read our guide to 3D printing in education.

How To Use These Worksheets In Class

  • Print at actual size. Choose “actual size” or 100% in your print settings so tracing lines and answer boxes don’t shrink.
  • Reuse instead of reprinting. Slip kindergarten sheets into clear sheet protectors and use dry-erase markers for centers.
  • Go digital when it fits. The 3D printing worksheet is fillable, so students on laptops or Chromebooks can type their answers and submit the saved file.
  • Pair each sheet with teaching. A worksheet works best as practice after you’ve modeled the skill, not as the first introduction to it.
  • Use them to check understanding. Collect a few and look for patterns, such as letters students reverse or features they can’t find, then reteach.

How To Choose Worksheets That Actually Help

Not every printable is worth the paper. Before you use any worksheet, from this page or anywhere else, check four things:

  1. One clear skill. Students should be able to tell what they’re practicing.
  2. The right level. If most of the class finishes in two minutes or can’t start without help, it’s the wrong sheet.
  3. Clean design. Big, clear images and enough writing space matter more than decoration, especially for young children.
  4. A purpose afterward. Plan how you’ll use the results, whether that’s feedback, a regroup or a reteach.

For tools that do the checking for you, see our guides to math assessment tools and annotation tools for teachers.
