Well hello there!

Hi y'all!!

I just GASPED when I saw the date of my last post!  Life gets busy and the days just seem to fly by!

I've been working away creating for my classroom and now it's time to start getting those activities posted into my TPT store.  Tonight I added a new 'Build it math game'.  This one has a pizza theme so can be used year round.

Students use a dice and 'build a pizza' by adding toppings.  I have included 8 different games that each use the same pizzas and toppings to cut down on prep work.  The 8 games each have an 'I can' instruction card to print and add to a center.  This makes for easy differentiation!
The 8 games include:

Roll and Count

Add 1

Add 2

Add 5

Add 10

Doubles

Doubles +1

Subtract 1

You can find this new learning pack HERE and I have added this to my existing bundle which you can find HERE.  If you won the bundle then you already own the new addition!

As always, I like to give away copies of my new learning packs.  I will send a copy of Build a Pizza - 8 Math Games in One to the first 3 people who comment on this post.  Don't forget your email! Giveaway ended

Scarecrow Math - 8 games in 1!

It seems like summer has just begun, but I'm already thinking about back to school.  Did I mention that I agreed to take a students intern, then found out that due to the needs on my classlist I will be having two (yes two) teacher assistants.  At first I thought, 'We're going to be tripping over each other', but now I'm thinking, 'Wow, we should be able to accomplish a lot!'.  We shall see!!

Anyway, are you enjoying your summer?  I am LOVING this weather and on the weekend saw Zac Brown Band in concert!!!  It was an AMAZING show ... it will be hard to top that show ... EVER!

Since I returned I've finished up a learning pack that I've been working on.  Eight math games played with a single dice.  You prepare it once, then use it over and over!!  It all starts with the adorable scarecrow pieces by Creative Clips.

Print and cut out the scarecrow pieces, print one of the 8 'I can' cards, add a dice and voila! Ready to go.

Easy to differentiate - you choose the outcome from the 8 included.

Roll and Count
Add 1
Add 2
Add 5
Add 10
Doubles 
Doubles +1
Subtract 1

You can find this learning pack at my TPT store HERE.

Number Maze

As a review of representing numbers to 20 I created a number maze of ten frames, dice, dominoes, fingers and tallies and my students had a blast!!!  So much so that I thought I'd share it with you as a freebie.

This activity really showed me who my quick subitizers were and who needed a bit more more practice.  Click HERE to download and enjoy!!

It includes eight learning games that cover the following:

•Add 2

Dice Activities for Back to School

I hope that you are all enjoying some much deserved rest and relaxation.  Since school ended last week I've painted my kitchen and living room and gone to half a dozen appointments that I just never have time for during the school year.
Today I spent some time finishing up my newest addition to my Dice Activities Bundle.  It has a Back to School theme and focuses on skills for early in the year.  Each activity has an 'I can' card so if you choose to use it in a center or as early finisher work students can use them with some independence.  You can read more about it HERE.  You'll find more details in the preview.

The bundle now includes 13 learning packs so if you own it be sure to download the newest addition.

As always, I'll send a copy of my newest learning pack to the first 3 people who comment on this post.

Bubbles Fun!

Yikes ... I just looked at the date of my last post and it's been over a month.  What can I say ... I've been enjoying the spring weather and some family time :)

Last evening I posted a new dice pack with a bubbles theme at my TPT store.

It includes 12 print and play black and white dice activities, each with it's own I can student instruction card so you can print, add dice and toss into a math work station bin.  Of course, they could also be used whole class, small group and most of them independently.

You can find this learning pack HERE in my store.

It has also been added to my Dice Activities Bundle HERE.  If you own the bundle you can download it again and pick up the new addition for free.

Someone purchased this bundle last night and left feedback that made my night. I love that my products are being used in classrooms with kids!!!

Print, Roll and Play - Christmas Edition

Hi all!
I hope that this finds you all recovered from Halloween and having a great week!

A couple days ago I posted my newest Print, Roll and Play Dice Activities but haven't had a chance to blog about them.  It just **might** have something to do with it being parent-teacher week :)

So, you all know that I'm a planner and am pleased to say that the CHRISTMAS Edition is ready and in my store.

It's filled with a variety of dice activities including: tallies, ten frames, number words, adding 2, adding 3, even and odd ... the list goes on!  You can read more about it HERE.

These activities are all in black & white and every activity includes an 'I can' student instruction card for you to use if you choose to use them in math work stations.  However, they are great whole class and early finisher activities too.  Many of the pages can be differentiated easily by changing the amount of dice used.

So what are you waiting for ... just print, roll and play!

Question??

Would you like these in a bundle with new ones added as they are created?
