This word wall activity makes a great word work activity. Students will choose words from the classroom word wall, place them on their shopping cart mat and use the letter tile price list to determine the value of the word by adding each letter value together. This adds a math addition aspect to the activity.
I have included two options for student recording. The first option is to record the words in a student mini-book which would provide an ongoing activity that could stretch over a number of days. The second option is a single page which could be completed in one session.
This activity can be used with any classroom word wall.
I'm glad you like it! Thanks! Happy Word Wall shopping :)

Super high interest! I have students use pennies as they add up their letter purchases...they LOVE it! In addition, we use calculators at the end to "total" our word purchases. VERY GOOD INVESTMENT!
I love combing language Arts and Math. The kiddoes get to really see how and why we learn things. This is a fun activity that changes as the word wall changes. No need to constantly reinvent centers. Great!
