COGS

Have you ever needed a quick, easy reference to see what students should have been taught already? I made this scope and sequence based on California Common Core standards but they could be a general guide for any states that use Common Core. I've been told that this was really useful by collegues, so I thought I'd share it here. Hope it is helpful!

My students beg me to play this game! It is an excellent review of math concepts like telling time, money, place value, rounding, addition and subtraction, graphs, patterns, and geometry! Math Pie is played like "Trivial Pursuit". I recommend that you print the cards on colored cardstock so that they will be more durable. See the color key to determine which colors you should use (there are 3 sheets each of place value cards, graph cards, geometry/ pattern cards, addition/ subtraction cards, mon

Use this sheet to reinforce probability vocabulary like ratios, more/less/equally likely, fair/unfair, certain and impossible. Simple graphics make it easy for students to understand.

What is the difference between "place" and "value"? This board game boosts students' comprehension of "place" and "value" up to the hundred thousands place. Also, it gives extra practice with expanded form. Players get to pick a dog to walk and earn money along the way as they answer place value questions. This game would be ideal for a math center, small group instruction or for an assistant to work with students who need reinforcement!

If you're looking for some basic, easy-to-read, clean money practice worksheets, you've come to the right place! I use these sheets with my students to practice counting coins, comparing money amounts and finding equivalent amounts of money. Enjoy!

These colorful bucks show 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000. I love to use these value bucks when I'm trying to help my students remember the difference between "place" and "value"! It really helps! I also recommend my Place Value game called "Wags to Riches"...a dog walking game that reinforces these concepts. "Wags to Riches" contains these same value bucks, so if you decide to buy "Wags to Riches", you don't need these. However, if you just want to use the bucks- these work great!

Here's a freebie that I use all the time! Just laminate it or place it in a clear plastic folder and have students write digits into the chart using a dry erase marker. The "comma" is a pet dog who says, "thousand" when he barks. *grin* This helps so much for students who just don't "get it" or who need more practice.

This is an exciting game for two players! It is played like "Connect Four". Students need to get four in a row to win. You will need some type of markers (like buttons or checkers) and a spinner or 12 sided die. Great for younger students who are working on their addition doubles!

Here's a quick and easy game I use that is colorful and fun for students. Take the boring out of worksheets and assessments by playing "Treasure Hunter"! I bought plastic jewels from the Dollar Store and use them as the gem prizes for this game. Roll the dice, answer a question from a worksheet (or material of your choice), land on a gem space and collect gems as you work your way around the board. The player with the most gems at the end wins!
