Mystery Number Algebra: For Grade 3 - 6

Created by

My students love these puzzles! Their faces glow with pride as they tell their parents they are "doing algebra"! This set includes 3 levels of puzzles: page 1 has basic multiplication, addition, and subtraction, page 2 has basic division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction, and page 3 has multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Set your students up for success as they "follow the clues" to solve for a variable!

Integer Bingo: Adding and Subtracting Integers

I usually set up a little standup (included) to remind students of the rules for adding and subtracting integers during this game. This particular bingo game works best in pairs, so I only included 2 bingo sheets. My students really enjoy playing this with me and they have improved so much (especially with subtraction)! This game would work well for a center, in partners, or even for a TA to use one-on-one with that student who needs more practice!

Scale graphics help students to understand the concept of equalities. I use this sheet as reinforcement once this concept has been introduced.

Here are two worksheets that I use regularly for my students who are beginning algebra. Simple shapes make the problems more visually appealing. Hope they work well for you, too!

Experience

I taught 3rd Grade in Virginia for 16 years. During that time, I worked with children with learning disabilities in an inclusion setting as well as gifted students in a gifted cluster classroom. Currently, I tutor children from Pre-K through 5th grade in Newport Beach, California. I can be reached at cogslearning@gmail.com if you are interested in online or in person tutoring.

Teaching style

I believe learning should be fun! Children retain best when their emotions are connected to their learning experience. What better way to learn than by playing games? I'm also a firm believer that teachers need to engage students through their senses as much as possible. Games provide great visuals as well as kinesthetic and auditory reinforcement.

My own education history

I graduated from Freed- Hardeman University with a BS in Elementary Education. Also, I have an LD endorsement from Old Dominion University and a Gifted Endorsement form the University of Virginia.
