I Have Who Has cards are a great way to practice content skills, mental math and listening skills. It is one of the few whole group activities where it is mandatory that you participate all the time or it won't work. In the beginning, give students time to build their number on their place value mat. When someone calls out their base ten block pieces, they'll be ready. When they become more proficient with place value, most of them won't need the blocks. I use a stopwatch and time how long

Place Value: I'm Thinking of a Number - Set 6 This is the sixth of six different sets of "I'm Thinking of a Number Cards" to use when teaching place value. This set uses 3 digit numbers, odd and even numbers and the sum of digits in the clues. These clues may have more than one solution. I use the cards in a small group at first and have them build the number on a place value mat with base ten blocks. We discuss how they determined the number from the clues. When the activity is moved to

Addition Strategies Fluency is a consistent thread throughout the Common Core Standards. In order for students to be successful in future mathematics, they must have fluent computation skills. Success with computation is dependent upon fluency with basic facts. These activities provide students with basic addition facts practice in a variety of ways, using the same set of cards. The cards are grouped to be used sequentially in a way recommended for teaching basic addition facts: • Adding

This math center can be used for students to practice three-digit subtraction. Included in the set are: Directions for the game 56 game cards 2 different sized game boards 3 pages of blank cards Common Core Standards: 2.NBT.7 3.NBT.2

This is a set of Hundreds Charts with the numbers from 1-1000 to be used with my "I'm Thinking of a Number" sets four through six. The three digit-numbers in these sets are large enough to make using base ten blocks cumbersome.

These cards can be used to play five different place value activities: • Rummy • Memory or Concentration Game • Go Fish • Mingle • Matching Students match numerals, base ten block representations and words for the numbers from 11 to 100. The set contains number, picture and word cards for 11-100, directions for the activities and a student response sheet.

These eight colorful posters will help your students to remember all of the strategies they've learned to solve math problems. The strategies used: Use my fingers Use manipulatives Draw a picture Use my doubles facts Count up Write a number sentence Use mental math Use a number line Math Coach

This set is part of a larger geometry unit. These posters are used to help describe geometric definitions, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes . At the beginning of the unit, hang all of the posters on the wall without the labels. As you introduce each term the labels can be added. They become a reference for students to use as they work on various activities during the unit. Included are 37 geometry posters and labels. If you find an error of any kind, please let me know and I'll fix

Bump games are great for math stations or centers because after you teach students how to play the game they don't require any further explanation. You can create infinite versions of the game depending on the topic or skill you are teaching. These particular bump games were designed to give students more practice with basic addition facts. Instead of the usual dice roll to generate the numbers, there are cards with the facts on them. Different game boards provided utilize different strategi

These is just something about spinners, dice and cards that make kids think it's a game, even if they are getting all the practice they need to develop fluency in math! My students even refer to Spin a Problem as a game and don't seem to notice that they're doing computation practice. Included are Spin a Problem sheets for: Addition - 2 different sheets Subtraction - 3 different sheets Multiplication - 2 different sheets Division - 3 different sheets Fraction addition Fraction subtract

Bump games are great for math stations or centers because after you teach students how to play the game they don't require any further explanation.

Fluency is a consistent thread throughout the Common Core Standards. In order for students to be successful in future mathematics, they must have fluent computation skills. These activities provide students with addition and subtraction practice using a spinner and a template to generate as many new problems as students need. The game format is engaging and keeps students interested in “just one more” problem. The templates sequence from one-digit and one-digit to three-digit and two-digit pro
