Teach Classically

This is perfect for your moving your students through the entire concrete, pictorial, and abstract process of Singapore Math. Includes part-part-whole and number bond areas to use with manipulatives.

Here's a little chant to brighten up the lesson on comparing numbers!

If your child needs help memorizing their multiplication facts, songs, chants, and rhymes are a great way to get those into their memory banks! Have it handy on car trips or when doing errands.

Have students write their own math word problems to share with friends! This is both the planning and drafting portion of the process. The box at the left cut in half is for students to appropriately draw the part-part-whole model for their equation. I then let students write their problems in a book to have friends solve. They LOVE this activity!

A math mat to teach multiplication as equal groups during the concrete portion of Singapore math. Use with any manipulatives.

Print this out to teach your kids the fun chant to memorize the doubles through 20!

Use this fun activity with your multiplication unit! This helped my second graders to understand arrays, repeated addition, and the communicative property of multiplication. It's a hands-on, tasty, and visual way to get those brain juices flowing. I used Cheerios for this activity- anything larger would limit your mulitplication fact choices. ;) Here's an example: Tell your class to build the number sentence 3 x 5. The students would take 5 Cheerios and put them in a row at the top of the first

Use this blank BINGO template to allow your students to write in either math facts or phonograms of your choosing (it's more of a Connect 4 kind of deal here to lessen the amount of writing the students need to do). The possibilities of options for this game are copious. :) Be sure to have the answers written on pieces of paper so as you call them out randomly, you can put them aside to check if the student really did get a Bingo.
