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!!

Numbers 0-20

When I meet my firsties at the beginning of the school year the first thing we do in math is review numbers 0-20. I've created a number booklet to add to my math stations that will keep them busy and I'll be able to use it for assessment at the same time :)

Students use either a bingo dabber or crayons to identify different representations of numbers.  I've included numerals, number words, fingers, tallies, dice, objects, dominoes and ten frames.

Each number has it's own page so you can choose some or all and staple them with the cover page for students to have their own booklet to work in.  I've also added 'I can' cards for both bingo dabbers and crayons so you can have a ready to go math station or have it ready for early finisher work.  Here's a little peek at what's included.

You can find this learning pack HERE at my TPT store or by clicking on the picture below.

As always I'd love to give a few of these away.  The first 3 people to comment on this post will get a copy - don't forget your email.

Superhero Math

It's done and added to my store.  Print, Roll and Play Dice Activities (Superhero Edition)!!  I am loving these packs.  They are black and white to save ink, each activity includes an 'I can' student instruction card and all you need to so is add dice for instant hands-on practice.

I have also added it to my bundle and have not increased the price  - a $24.50 value for $15 and by purchasing you guarantee yourself a free download of any future additions to the pack. Coming soon ... Valentine's Day :)

My dice learning packs are on sale throughout the remainder of the Jump into January Freebie Blog Hop.  Haven't seen it yet?  Find out more HERE!

As always, I'd like to give away a few copies of my new product.  The first 3 people who leave a comment on this post will get a Superhero Dice Learning Pack!

Halloween Freebie!

I am lovin' this long weekend!! The fall leaves are gorgeous, just look at the scenery on my walk last evening ...

...so peaceful :)

On another note, while doing my October planning I was wishing that I had included a roll 3 dice and add activity (with tallies) in my Print, Roll and Play Halloween Dice Activities pack so I made one and thought I would offer it here as a freebie.  Click on one of the pictures below to download. 

Note ~ this is NOT included in my pack so if you own it you'll want this one too.

Here's a  peek of the coordinating learning pack :)  You can read more about it HERE.

...and yes, I'm working on a Christmas edition :)

Happy Sunday!!

Print, Roll and Play Fall Edition Dice Activities

Well...........hello there!
Between getting my classroom and my family ready for back to school my poor little blog has been neglected.  But I'm happy to say that I feel organized and ready to meet my firsties on Tuesday morning!!

I've just posted a new learning pack to my store.  I love my Print, Roll and Play Dice Activities so much that I made a Fall Edition.

It's packed with 12 save your ink, black and white math activities that include number bonds, ten frames, base ten, tallies, number words ...

AND each activity has a matching I can student instruction card to keep your students focused.

You can find it HERE in my TPT store.

I'd love to give a few of these away. I'll send a copy of the fall edition to the first 3 people who comment on this post.  I also have it for sale in my TPT store until tomorrow night.

If you're already back to school I hope it's going well and if not good luck on your first day!

I'm in love ... and a new math station

You know that feeling when you open the mail and it isn't a power bill or phone bill?  Well, multiply that by 100 and you'd know how excited I was to open the mail!!!!

Looky, looky...

a new laminator!!!!!

We have a big one at school, and it works well BUT I need to turn my items in for the one person in the building who's allowed to use it AND wait until she has a big pile and some time.  Well, sometimes a girl just wants her laminating a little faster.

This Fellowes Saturn 125 is AWESOME!

 

When I turn it on it took less than 5 minutes to heat up then beeped to get my attention.  I was able to choose between 3 and 5 mil laminate and it heated to just the right temperature.

If you've never laminated before it's easy peasy.  Just slide the page you want to laminate into the pouch and slide it into the laminator.

 

 

It will feed itself and come out the other side.  VOILA!!!

 

It was so easy!  If you would like your own laminator check out mybinding.com. They're easy to work with and your teaching materials that you spend TIME and MONEY on will last a long time.

 

Now, if I just had a binding machine ;)

What was I laminating you ask?

I've been working away at a new unit that focuses on teen numbers and was getting a little bogged down so took a little break to use these cute ice cream graphics by Graphics From the Pond. (Yes, you've seen me use them before!)

It's a math work station perfect for the beginning of the year.  Students will either roll or spin (your choice) tally and graph.  You can find this activity at my TPT store.

I'll send a copy to the first 2 followers who comment on this post.  In your comment, I'd love to know an activity that you might like to see included in my teen numbers math work station unit :)



Buttons - Spin (or Roll), Tally & Graph and a FREEBIE

As you know I LOVE Corduroy Bear and I cannot get enough of these graphics.  I just added a new math work station to my TPT store.

Do you prefer dice or spinners?  In this activity you get to decide.  Students either spin (or roll) and then graph and tally the results.  If you like both then you get 2 stations :)  I included 2 "I can..." cards so you will have the one you need.  You can find this activity here.

If you love Corduroy as much as I do you might be interested in my Corduroy Booktivities.

You can read more about this unit in this post.

Now for the freebie I promised you:

Bug-a-licious Roll (or Spin), Tally and Graph

I am soooooo done with winter.  With that said I could not resist making a new spring math station when I saw the cute Spring Bugs graphics by Mel from Graphics From the Pond.  Aren't they adorable?

 

Here's a peek:

 

 

Spring is right around the corner and the bugs in this math station are perfect for capturing your student's attention.  Everyone loves choice, and since some teachers prefer dice, while others prefer spinners, I have included both in this activity.  To use this activity students roll (or spin) and graph the results. Then the information is used on tally on a chart.  I have included 2 "I can..." cards so you will have the one you need depending on which activity you choose.  If you like dice and spinners then there are 2 activities in this download for you.

I usually post in the evenings and give away 2 copies to the first 2 comments, but since I'm on March break let's see who's on their computer this morning.  I'll send a free copy to the first 2 people who comment on this post.  This activity is available at my TPT store.
