Let's Do Math

Perfect for center, self check activity or as a test review game. Students use their whiteboards to solve problems and show the answer. Split students into small groups. Each group will compete against the other groups. All students must complete problem, once everyone has solved the problem and agrees on the answer, then that group holds up their whiteboards. Teacher will reveal answer and groups who get the right answer earn points. Group with the most points wins.

Use these cards to help your students practice their math facts. Print out cards and cut.  Then hole punch on the top left corner and place on a ring.  Students will work with a partner.  One person will hold the ring and turn the cards as the other student answers.  If they get stuck the student turning cards can help, or they can use their reference chart.  When they flip a BOOM! card, then they switch roles.  Simple game, but the kids love it.  Use it at the beginning of class for 3-5 minutes

A great back to school activity. You can adapt for after school breaks as a way for students to talk about their holiday breaks. Just change the questions.
