Add or Subtract Gingerbread Style!

Hi all!

I am a happy gal tonight ... you know that feeling of finishing report cards?  That's me, now just to finish parent teacher conferences next week and then it's all things Christmas!

With the extra time on my hands I can get some products that I've been using ready to post in my store.  First up ... a new math work station.

My students have gained a solid understanding of addition and subtraction, but are having a bit more trouble deciding which to use when given a choice. I created this math work station to help reinforce this skill.

To play this game students work with a partner or a small group and roll 2 dice, decide if they want to add or subtract the numbers and cover the result on their playing card.
An "I can..." card is included to build student independence.
I have included both color and black and white options.

Although the gingerbread theme is perfect for Christmas this product does not contain any reference to Christmas which may be important in some schools.

It won't take your students long to figure out if adding the dice together or subtracting the smaller number from the larger will benefit them.  Imagine the quick mental math happening!

You can find this resource HERE in my TPT store.

Gingerbread Mystery Picture

With less than 2 months until Christmas I must say that I'm starting to plan ahead.  Between now and then we have report cards and parent teacher conferences so it's never too early :)

 

I've created a new Mystery Picture with a  gingerbread theme. (I can almost smell them!)

 

 

This activity is similar to my others and have been added to the bundle which keeps growing and will keep your students busy throughout the year.  If you own the bundle you can head on over to your purchases and download the revision with the new one added :)

 

 

 

The gingerbread mystery picture is on a 120 chart and requires students to solve the tens and ones to figure out the number before they color.

 

4 tens 3 ones 43

 

You can find the Gingerbread picture here and the bundle here.
