Simple, but effective! Based on the old Concentration games, Fraction Memory Match is perfect for a math station on equivalent fractions.

Rolling Perimeter is one of my newest freebies, but it's been popular so I wanted to be sure you didn't miss it. Simple, easy activity to practice perimeter.

Spooky Place Value and Problem Solving -- Freebie!

We gave the Constructed Response Assessments in math yesterday. I tested a small group of students and realized they had trouble working the problems because they weren't able to transfer a math problem that was written horizontally to a vertical form and place all of the numbers in the correct place value. 

This freebie is a simple way to practice adding and subtracting numbers, being sure to write the numbers in the correct place value position. Students pick two cards and use the numbers to write one addition and one subtraction problem. They must write the problem on their paper and solve it. 

Just click on the picture above to get the freebie.

And on a not-so-spooky note, I just received word that I'm twenty-seven on the list of the Top Fifty Teacher Blogs published by Teacher Certification Degrees. Click on the pic below to visit their site and see the list.

Happy Fall, y'all!

Swinging Numbers - Freebie

Partners can practice this game in a Math station. Print out the cards and directions and give them some paper to record their answers.

Jack's Magic Beans - Freebie

I bought some of the clear acrylic trays divided into three compartments from Dollar Tree this summer. I added stick-on letters to label each compartment either H, T, or O. 

I'm putting the trays into a Math station with these directions for some fun place value practice. 

Students can play with a partner or alone. They toss beans into the tray and tally up the number of beans that land in each compartment. They record the number they make in standard and expanded form.

Just click on either of the pics above to download the directions and recording sheet.

Let me know if your kids like it!

Spinning Place Value -- Place Value Freebie

Here's another quick place value activity for a math station.

You need a numbered spinner, place value blocks, paper, and pencil.

Students spin the spinner three times to make a number. They use the place value blocks to model the number. Once they have made a model of the number, they draw it in a graphic organizer and add the standard, word, and expanded forms of the number. You can use the example I included or let students come up with their own way to record the info. This would also be a good activity to show understanding of different ways of representing numbers in a math journal.

Just click on the pic above to download the activity.

Bundle It Up! -- Place Value Freebie

Common Core requires second graders to realize that ten bundles of ten make one hundred. This is going to be an activity in one of my place value math stations next week. Gather up lots of popsicle sticks and rubber bands, a die, and print off the number cards. Students draw a card to determine the target number. They take turns rolling the die and draw that many sticks. When they get ten sticks, they use a rubber band to bundle them. The first person to reach the target number wins the game.

It's a quick game that you can also play with tables or small groups competing against each other.

Just click on the pic above to get the directions and cards. 

Last Man Standing - Freebie

Need a fun review for place value? My kids love, love, love playing this game.

Hand out the number cards to each child. Give clues based on place value. If the number doesn't match the clue, the child must sit down. The last one standing is the winner. It's great practice for interpreting place value and is even better when the kids are ready to give the clues!

Campout Races -- Place Value -- Freebie!

Summertime makes me think of Girl Scout camp when I was little, so when I saw this cute, cute, cute camping art from Spring Hill Farms, I wanted to use it right away.

Second graders need practice with expanded form for Common Core. In this game, two students race to be the first to their tent by matching numbers in standard form and expanded form.

Just click on the pic above to download the doc....and race to leave me a comment!

Visions of Place Value Dance in My Head!!!!!

We have worked on Place Value all week long and my kids are beginning to get it! One of the activities we did to work on ordering numbers with four digits was to try to get every student in the class lined up in the correct order in under thirty seconds. They beat the clock and ended the week trying to line up in fifteen seconds! I just wrote four digit numbers {3,024; 3,204; 3,420; 3,240} on large index cards. Each child held a card up to their chest and raced to get in the correct order.

Tomorrow I plan on dividing the class into three teams. Each student will get a card with either a number or comma on it. When I call out a number, the students will have to race to their team's place value chart and stand under the correct heading. Click on the picture below to download the Place Value Headings. Print on bright paper and laminate so they will withstand the racing! They aren't fancy and there's no clip art, but it will save you time!

I'm going to put Number Play in one of my Math Stations. Click on the picture below for the Freebie!

We are going to fill out a graphic organizer to put in our Math Journals to help the students remember the different ways to write a number.
