Morning Tubs | Math Centers with Popsicle Sticks with Google Slides option

This Popsicle Stick Morning Tub is also available as part of a money saving BUNDLE. You can check out all the sets included and save money by purchasing the whole set here: Morning Tub Tasks Bundle.

The goal for my morning tubs is to create activities that use common classroom manipulatives and items. In this set students work with colored or natural wood popsicle sticks. They are low - prep; just print the task cards and scoreboard you are ready to go.

This set contains 7 different activities to be used with popsicle sticks - colored or natural and 4 digital activities. There are detailed teacher instructions for each center.

❤️Pattern Puzzlers: 14 cards

  • Provide students with a collection of colored popsicle sticks to complete the Pattern Puzzler Strips. Popsicle stick colours needed: red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, natural wood.

❤️Extend My Pattern: 18 cards

  • Provide students with a collection of coloured popsicle sticks so they can extend the pattern on each card. Popsicle stick colours needed: red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, natural wood.

❤️Duplicate My Design: 12 cards

❤️Popsicle Stick Puzzles: 17 cards

  • Copy each popsicle stick puzzle and either glue or use double sided tape to fasten it to the popsicle sticks. As students assemble each puzzle they create a picture that makes it self checking. Skills covered: counting backwards, skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s and repeating patterns.

❤️Make It!: 18 cards

❤️Skill Building Sticks: 14 cards

  • Copy each Skill Building set and either glue or use double sided tape to fasten it to the popsicle sticks. Students will answer questions to put the sticks in order. These are self checking with a pattern or picture that is created when every stick in the proper order. Skills covered: Addition, Subtraction, Base 10, Counting coins - US/Canadian/Australian options

❤️Drop and Count

  • Students will drop all 10 sticks and sort into a group of 10’s and a group of 1’s and count the sticks by tens and then ones to get a total number. Each player records their score on the scoreboard and circles the highest score after each round. The player with the most wins after 5 rounds is the winner.

My students loved using these cards for morning work. They had to pay close attention to the cards and their popsicle sticks which kept them quite engaged. They enjoyed the challenges on the cards. The activities made them think but weren't excessively difficult. A great morning work activity!

I used this with my lower kiddos and they enjoyed this as a center. One note - you need the larger popsicle sticks.
