Math Games
Ever wonder what to do with the kids who always finish early?? Well, during math time, my students get to play math games. When they finish their independent work, I look over their papers to check for understanding. When I know they've got it, I assign them a partner, and they play math games. I use a pocket chart that has 10 slots (I think it was originally made to hold cd's). Click on the pictures below to view/save the game directions. Here are the cards that I use, too. And that's it!

Second Grade Style: math games My Math Games Posts Part 1 and Part 2 are some of my most visited posts on my blog. I love math games! My kiddos last year loved them too! So it got pushed back until after school started. Our first unit for math is numbers in base ten/place value. Flash Cards - of course. The ever popular Bump from Sunny Days - My kiddos love, love, love this game! Addition Jenga - Picked up this original Jenga set at the flea market for $3 and then downloaded the free labels from Minds In Bloom. The kiddos simply build the jenga cube as usual and then when they remove a piece they have to solve it. Place Value Bulls Eye from What The Teacher Wants - I think this is my personal favorite because it helps the kiddos practice expanded form and because it's so fun! Slides and Ladders from First Grade a la Carte - To practice doubles facts! Last but certainly not least in my kiddos' eyes is Power Towers - They absolutely love this! That's the beginning of the year line up.
