Chalk Duster

In today's world, the students are faced with many strategies for solving problems. This handout can be used for student journals, parent hand-out, or blown up into a poster for the classroom. Using this strategy, students use halves and doubles to solve multiplication problems that are at least 2 digit by 2 digit.

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.

In today's math world, our students are given a plethora of strategies for solving math problems. This lesson provides students with an alternate algorithm for solving division problems using the skills they have already learned in multiplication.

This bookmark is a great placeholder for your student's math journal, and also serves as a reminder for: Some and Some More Some Went Away Bigger, Smaller, Difference This would also make a great item to send home for parents when they are working with their child.

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.

Students will play a game called Sums and Differences on a Strip to practice basic addition and subtraction facts to 18. This document is in word so you could modify the strips to go higher or lower than 18. The object of the game is to be the first player to cross off all the numbers on the number strip.

Great for math stations to allow students time to practice the concept of doubles plus one.
