Debbie Diller I wish I knew the best way to explain my Math Stations. I've said it many times, I like it simple, clear and meaningful. So ... in a nutshell... here is how I run my math stations in my 2nd grade class. Each month I cover 12 CC standards. 4 from each domain: Base Ten Notation Fluency w/ Addition and Subtraction Measurement Geometry/Data This can be found on page 1 of my centers... below is March. Storing the completed set. The first year, I had the expense and lamination to cut... however, since then... it's been easy!! I use these fancy storage boxes (he! Each month has its own box. The bottom picture (of the post) shows what the inside of the fancy box looks like. 12 large baggies of math station task card, talk card, activity, manipulatives etc. I took pictures today of our last rotation in March. I have 12 pairs of kids working around the room... completing their activity in the box, completing their workbook and then playing a math facts game board until the timer goes off. page 2... box 2

The First Grade Parade I’ve been a little MIA lately. In all honesty, I’ve had the blogging “blahs”. Not a whole lot of motivation to sit down and post anything. I’ve just been lovin’ on my boys and spending an insane amount of my “free” time just having fun with my little family of four {and some out of town visitors, too!!}. …sanitzed my hands…and the hands of 17 littles…NO LESS than 2,347 times. …successfully cleaned up a few cases of the pukies {talk about gag reflex} …counted 6 kids absent on Friday & Monday…and sent two pukies home today. …cloroxed {yes, it’s a verb ;)} the desks NO LESS than 100,000 times. …immediately came home from school 4 days in a row, stripped off my clothes, threw them in the washer, and hightailed it to take the HOTTEST showers before picking up my boys from the sitter. Did I mention that our sweet little school is experiencing the CRAZIEST bout of sickness EVER?!?! I cut out lots of different feet programmed with /oo/ words. Happy {almost} end of the week!!
Math Drill Sheets Drill Sheets for Math Contents: Easy Drill Sheets | Medium Drill Sheets | Regular Drill Sheets The use of drill sheets is optional. I offer them for those who need or want to use them. My children used drill sheets 3 times a week in spurts, not all the time. In addition to using the drill sheets, I allowed my children to look at a multiplication chart when they did their math lessons until they no longer needed them. Easy Math Facts Drill Sheets These sheets are for the younger crowd and those children who are new to drill sheets. Addition: Simple Math Facts 1,2,3,4,5 Simple Math Facts 3,4,5,6,7 Simple Math Facts 5,6,7,8,9 These two addition drill sheets are just a bit harder than the ones above These sheets have 40 problems per page in big print. 234567 Answer 456789 Answer Medium Math Facts Drill Sheets Medium Set One Set one has drill sheet for addition and multiplication. There are 20 addition problem files and 20 multiplication problem files. The Files for the Medium Set Addition Facts Basics:
My First Award and Freebie! It has been nice enough here to leave the windows open all night. For Indiana in March... it just feels strange, but I am loving it! Here's hoping it stays nice through my birthday at the end of the month! I was so, so pleasantly surprised a couple of days ago! I have really enjoyed reading her cute 4th grade blog, and I would really recommend you check it out! I also had the chance to join Kindergarten Lifestyle's linky party for K-2 blogs, and I have found so many great newbie blogs! Finally, I wanted to share my first file with you. At my student teaching school, we had a program called Mountain Math, which was great for reviewing TONS of concepts... but unfortunately, it's a program that's a little out of my price range, and required me to keep updating the bulletin board. Instead, I use what I call My Magic Number.
Math Worksheets at Math-Drills.com Oh My Little Classity Class Ummmm. . .yeah, needing some practice with basic addition facts in my classroom. Remember how I said my littles were rock stars at addition?! I might have been confused. So. . .there will be MUCH practice coming their way this week. We're playing FAST FACT (an awesome game using cards - face cards removed - where the dealer places 2 cards on the table and the first student to correctly give the sum (because we're adding) gets those cards - winner is the player with the most cards when the dealer has no more cards). We're playing MAKE TEN (using cards again - face cards and TENS removed - dealer lays ten cards on the table (face up) - players must say the parts of 10 - ie: 6+4=10 - student gets the set of 10 that they say - dealer fills the spaces created from those cards with cards from the deck - winner is the player with the most cards when the dealer has no more cards). We're practicing our 3 addend addition strategies using the work mats I shared on Monday and Tuesday. Enjoy. :)
Fun Free Stuff to Print -The Cornerstone For Teachers Part of maintaining a well-run classroom is having lots of kid-friendly learning tools, such as centers, manipulatives, flashcards, pocket chart activities, and so on to make lessons interesting and interactive. Unfortunately, filling your classroom with these types of things can be expensive and searching for free stuff on the internet is time-consuming. So, I’ve collected a bunch of incredible sites with FREE printables of all sorts–NOT just worksheets! Most of the printables are in Word form, meaning you can change them as you see fit, but all that’s really needed is to print and use! The Virtual Vine has all printables listed on one page for quick and easy reference. Carl’s Corner is probably THE BEST site for free primary literacy printables on the ‘net right now. The Reading Lady runs The Mosiac List-Serve, which is the most valuable source of elementary and middle school reading comprehension resource that I have ever come across.
