Description
Need to freshen up your math block? Your primary students will LOVE these engaging math challenge slides!
These challenges are designed to be either open-ended OR self-differentiating, which means that ALL of your students can succeed and grow. Low floor, high ceiling!
- Open-Ended: Boost creativity and critical thinking by encouraging more than one correct answer!
- Self-Differentiating: Start with "mild" questions, then move to "medium" and "spicy" questions to increase rigor for your high achieving students.
What's Included:
- PowerPoint slide for each challenge.
- Printable blackline recording sheets for each challenge.
- Teach the skill explicitly with your core curriculum.
- Display the challenge slide of your choice.
- Distribute the matching recording sheet.
- Use in whole group, small group, with vertical whiteboards, or partners... your choice!
These are great lessons for observations or when you need something extra special. There's so much higher order thinking and differentiation going on!
If you love collaborative learning, check out my first grade math mats! These are perfect for zero-prep skills practice.
Check out the higher order thinking your students will dive into with each math challenge...
Your Students Will:
Numbers and Operations: (7 Challenges)
- add three numbers with increasing complexity
- find missing numbers in a sequence or pattern
- compute plus and minus 1, 10, and 100
- find missing numbers on a number chart
- add two digit numbers ($100 Word Challenge)
- use arrays or repeated addition to solve a riddle (Icky Insect Challenge)
- understand and apply place value (The Case of the Mystery Blocks!)
Algebraic Thinking (4 Challenges)
- find the missing part
- balance the equation (The Big Balance Challenge)
- solve open ended word problems (Squirrels and Chipmunks Challenge)
Data (2 Challenges)
- use tally marks (Pattern Block Challenge)
- create bar graphs (Favorite Foods Challenge)
Measurement (1 Challenge)
- sort objects by length
- estimate length
- measure in inches, centimeters
- compare lengths
Money (2 Challenges)
- find the value of sets of coins
- build values with different coin combinations
Time (1 Challenge)
- unscramble clocks and put them in time order
Geometry (2 Challenges)
- draw 2D and 3D figures based on attributes
- think critically about fractions (halves and fourths)
