Home - Susan Jones. Place Value Numbers Up to 1,000 in Second Grade. Share on Facebook0 shares on Facebook Share on StumbleUpon0 shares on StumbleUpon In Unit 2 of the 2nd Grade Math Made Fun Curriculum, we focus on place value to 1,000. Teaching place value (the value of where the digit is in the number, based on the location of the digit) plays a very important roll in understanding addition and subtraction with regrouping. As we provide students with a hands-on approach to learning place value, they are able to transfer that knowledge into addition and subtraction. In this math unit on place value to 1,000, students will learn to: *Determine the value of numbers in the ones, tens, or hundreds place *Count and show numbers within 1,000 in base ten *Show and read numbers within 1,000 in base ten *Compare numbers within 1,000 using <, > or = *Mentally add and subtract 10 and 100 from numbers within 1,000 *Add and subtract two digit numbers with and without regrouping using manipulatives *Review and apply knowledge of place value within 1,000 Unit 7: Time.

Print and Play Math Games! - Susan Jones. My first graders have always L-O-V-E-D games and so do I! As a teacher, it is the perfect way to engage your learners in skill and have them practice, practice, practice. When students are highly engaged, not only are they learning but it gives you an opportunity to meet with students who may need a little more help or some enrichment in a particular area. I am a fan of a simple and engaging games that your students can play over and over and over so I created a line of games that I am over-the-moon excited about called:Print, Play, LEARN!

These are simple partner games that you just print out, the students play, and they are LEARNING the whole time. They are all black and white to save ink and to provide more simplicity in the prep department. The only things they require to play are items you can already find in your classroom: pencils crayons dice paperclips cubes! I will be creating 6 different partner games for each of the following math subjects: Roll and Race: Number Crash: Plus What? Fun and Free Printable Board Games - Itsy Bitsy Fun. Addition Velcro Fact Fluency. Addition.Roll Draw Add Game. Addition. Cup Game. Pattern blocks. Start Here - Life Over Cs. Tangram - Seven Pieces Many Faces | English | Evergreen Puzzle. Area and Perimeter Battleship Game by Hello 3rd Grade. ICE Cream Counting. Miss Giraffe's Class: Fractions in First Grade.

I know I seem to say this about every math concept I blog about but I LOVE FRACTIONS. Well, the first grade version of fractions :) It's weird to even hear myself say it because I struggled, and I mean struggled, with fractions in school. I was a good test taker though so I always flew under the radar with my teachers but I remember just looking at them like What is this?! SO I think it is really important to build those fraction foundations so your students don't end up staring at fractions the way I did! I think the first concept in fractions to teach is EQUAL PARTS, or EQUAL SHARES. See those funky shapes with unequal parts on the right?? Our job is to help our squirrel friend find the nutty shapes with unequal parts so we sorted the shapes by whether they had equal parts or unequal parts.

Then some practice! Once your students understand that fractions have equal parts, I recommend having them partition fractions themselves! In small groups, give each student a ball of dough.
