Plenty of Practice - Freebie

Have you used place value disks as a manipulative for building place value? My kids love them as a change from the place value blocks we frequently use.

You can order the disks from Crystal Springs books. Click on the pic above to get the ordering info.

You can use the disks in the activity I've posted below to practice adding and subtracting with regrouping.

Rolling! Rolling! Rolling! - Freebie

Putting dice or number cubes in a Math station seems to just knock the kids' excitement level up a notch. They think it's a game instead of work or practice!

I gave them four dice. They rolled them and made two two-digit numbers.  Next, they had to add the two numbers together. If they had to regroup to add, the problem had to be circled.

Regrouping Ones in Addition - Freebie

We have practiced adding and subtracting with regrouping until I HOPE they can do it in their sleep!

Here's another activity to put in a Math station. Add place value blocks and you are ready to go!

Gobble and Add! Freebie

Gobble! Gobble!

Draw two feather cards. Find numbers that match the cards and add them together.

Quick. Simple. Good practice!

And please add a comment! This is one of my favorite activities I've made for Thanksgiving, so I'd like to know what you think.

Building Regrouping - Freebie

I plan on spending every spare Math minute practicing adding and subtracting with regrouping from now until Christmas! I've got lots of Math station activities ready to go to pull out whenever my kids have a spare moment. (Not that that seems to happen much with our implementation of Common Core!)

In this station, students match up the subtracting problems with the correct model that shows the answer.

Hunting for Regrouping

We've been working on regrouping in addition. So far we have only regrouped ones, but this week we are adding tens to it.
I am giving my kiddos copies of these two cute addition and subtraction poems I found on Fun in Room 4B and on Living, Laughing, and Loving.

One of my Math stations this week is a turkey hunt for regrouping. I have hidden the turkeys with addition problems around the room. Students find the turkeys and record the problem on the record sheet. After finding the solution, they circle the problem if it involves regrouping.

(Please show me some love if you download! Let me know if your kiddos liked the hunt.)

November Word Problems - Freebie

I had several requests for more word problems that can be glued into Math journals after my post on October problems. Here is another installment you can use for November.
