Chalk Duster

This is a great tool that can be used for a variety of purposes. I choose to use it as a teacher table assessment to see where my students are currently performing. Each tasks encourages students to use manipulatives. While it is set up for bears, you could use any manipulative. Tasks include patterns, one step story problems, skip counting, challenge ideas...etc.

This is a fun game for students working on their coin counting skills (less than $1.00). The teacher will need to print 2 copies, one to cut up for the class and one to use as the answer key. The student with the first card will start the game, then play proceeds until you reach the first card again. Kids can play this in small groups as a math station or whole class.
