Teaching Growing Doing

Introduce your students to the incredible story of Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, with this engaging, hands-on lesson! Students will explore how Ada combined creativity and mathematics to imagine the first computer programs—long before computers even existed. Through a combination of read-aloud discussion and an interactive “unplugged” coding activity, students will practice writing clear, step-by-step instructions to solve a challenge—just like Ada did. This lesson encoura

This product is designed for kindergarten through second grade, but older students who struggle with coding could enjoy this "game" too! You can do this activity by projecting it on a white board and moving a cut out character through each level, or you could use it as a coding station/center/done box. This is a great way to introduce coding before having students logging onto a computer and using your favorite coding website. This product comes with 26 slides: 8 introduction and set up slides w

As I was tutoring this summer, I was looking for games to help my students recognize equivalent fractions. There wasn't a whole lot out there, so I made these! When I introduce these games, I always have the students name the fractions on the game board first. They each only use 5 or 6 base fractions. We then list the first few fractions. Beginners can use their list while they play, and more advanced students put their list away and rely on mental math or a whiteboard and marker to figure out i
