Using a dice (6, 8 , 10, 12 or even 20 sider) students drop onto the sheet. They either add their dice roll to the number the dice landed on or (for more of a challenge) multiply. Fun and simple way to get students doing simple calculations with limited setup and cleanup. Definitely a class favourite!
Ideally we all have planned super-engaging lessons with rich and meaningful learning deeply embedded, however sometimes things happen. Life gets in the way and we need something quick and easy to get out there. This is where the Math Time Fillers comes in. This 25+ page booklet is filled with one-shot math sheets great for those times you were unable to plan, or early finishers, or even for a substitute teacher! Many of them can be adapted to varying grade levels from 2-8,or even higher. Many
Four Math pages with fun activities based on Math concepts. The sheets include symmetry, simple graphing, single digit addition and subtraction (and some 2 digit, but nothing larger than the teens). Also includes colour by numbers based on their answers, which are always a hit because...colouring:) Great for review as well as keeping their minds occupied with learning and colouring during a busy time! Ideal for Grades 3,4,5 though easily could be done by Grade 2. Grade 6 will enjoy it too.
This fun activity has the students go through the maze collecting numbers along the way. At the end they need to add up all the numbers they went through to get the treasure in the middle (with the correct answer). Easily modified by using white out on one or two numbers and changing the difficulty. Please send me any comments/concerns and, if possible, rate the activity. Thanks! This item can also be found in my Math Time Fillers Bundle.
Suitable for Grade 4 and up! Fun and engaging way to assess their skills in place value, as well as addition and subtraction. The students solve equations and reveal the suspect that committed the crime. Super easy to mark and fun for the students!
Students practice their Addition and Subtraction skills by solving these fun and engaging Math Mysteries. Each sheet contains 16 questions with three digit addition/subtraction (double sided so 32 questions in all!) . Great for early finishers, substitute teachers or just for fun practice!
Game based learning, gamification, and engaged lessons/activities that have meaningful learning embedded in them are the driving forces behind what I do.
