Shake and Spill is such an easy little game, and you can adapt it for any season or holiday. It may be easy, but it's GREAT math! Differentiate the activity by choosing a target number appropriate for each student. Kinder babies can use 5 counters to practice combinations for 5, while first graders can use more counters.
First or second graders could write the entire fact family for their spill. So simple! I might be AWOL from bloggyland for a few days. Oh, click here to grab your free Shake and Spill. Number line addition.pdf. Number rainbows to learn subtraction facts. I thought some of you (those who teach second grade) might enjoy my NUMBER RAINBOWS. The idea is that you connect two numbers with an arc if they add up to the particular number, such as 13. Then, the child can use it as a reference when subtracting from 13 or when doing subtraction drill. You could first drill subtraction facts WITH the rainbow (such as 13 − 4, 13 − 7 etc.) and then without. You would also ask the child to reproduce the rainbow - and color it, of course! These make for quite pretty math facts practice, don't you think! I'm going to add these to my Add & Subtract 2-A book. Addition Made Easy! Math Sticks. Addition_Facts_Flash_Cards.pdf. Addition Strategies.pdf. Popsicle stick addition game.
I combined the sweet frog idea from makinglearningfun to create a container with the Kaboom addidition game from Teacher Tipsters to create my "Don't Get Zapped! " Game... Our local Taget Dollar Spot has plastic jumbo craft sticks 30 for a dollar. (But you could just as easily use the wooden jumbo craft sticks.) I created labels to cut apart and attach to the one end of the craft stick. The kids pull out a stick and either solve the problem to keep it or follow the direction on the stick...Take a stick from another player, Take an Extra Turn, or Zapped! Put all your sticks back. We'll see how little finger do at getting the sticks in and out of the opening...I may have them simply take the top off for easier access. Enjoy! Heidi. French Fry Math Center FREEBIE & a Super-Big Thank You! A big "Hey! " to everyone! First, I want to give a super big "Thanks" to Miss Bowers over at First Grade Jabber for awarding me the "Versatile Blogger Award"!
WOWsie! I'm honored-you are just too sweet! And I'm really excited to share one of our fun math activities that we worked on this week... "French Fry Facts"! We've been working really hard on addition and finding different ways to make numbers. Then the students worked in groups & I gave each group a French Fry Sum Card.
Okay blogging friends, here is the math center FREEBIE!!! Just one more lil thing I want to mention...The Clutter Free Classroom is hosting a "Peek Into My Planbook" linky party. Guided Math: SNAKE - A Whole Class Dice Game. SNAKE - A Math Dice Game I read about this game on the internet some years back. It is a dice game that can help teach basic addition or multiplication facts. My class just played it yesterday and were begging to play another round at the end of each game. Materials: -two dice *I use special overhead dice, so the kids can see the number I roll You can also use this website and display on your t.v.Online Virtual Dice -Paper or whiteboard for each studentHow to Play: Students can create a game board. You can download the template below that I have created or I have students just use a piece of paper, sometimes a whiteboard to keep track. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Any student still in the game has to cross out all their points for that round. 8. 9. 10. *Note- sometimes you might roll a 1 for the first roll of the round. Domino Addition. Geometry word problem-1. Addition Charts for Kids. Children need lots of practice with Addition Number Facts to develop fluency. Repeated exposure to basic number facts helps students' brains develop a "memory relationship" with the facts. Working with number charts helps children develop Fluency with basic number facts and observe Patterns in numbers. I whipped up 2 addition number charts last night that you might be able to use with your students. After children have completed the sheets (independently or with help) have them identify and describe the different patterns they observe on the chart(s). The charts are on one of the Free Worksheet pages on my website.
