Mae Jemison

Start with a question students can talk about right away: "What do you already know about Mae Jemison?" or a picture on the board to look at together. Then let students work through it independently, using a partner or small group only if they want to talk through their thinking, keeping a map, calendar, or word bank in view if the activity uses one. When you review, ask students what surprised them or what they'd like to find out next. These Mae Jemison worksheets work well as a class discussion starter, an independent center activity, or a take-home page to talk about with family.

These Mae Jemison worksheets for 3rd grade give students a first hands-on look at one of the big ideas in biographies. Students label, sort, match, and answer questions that connect Mae Jemison to the wider world beyond their own classroom. Each page keeps the vocabulary concrete and the reading light, so the social studies content stays the focus rather than the reading level. Working through Mae Jemison on paper gives 3rd grade students a shared reference point for class discussion and a keepsake for what they noticed.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade biographies, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with Mae Jemison. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

18 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 8-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the C3 Framework code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
