Place Value: I'm Thinking of a Number - Set 1 This is the first of six different sets of "I'm Thinking of a Number Cards" to use when teaching place value. This set uses only 2 digit numbers. 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 a center, students shuffle the cards, draw one card, build the number on their place value charts a

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 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

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
