Ladybug Place Value Picture and a little preview

I am soooo excited to say the snow has TOTALLY melted from my yard.  How do you say EXCITED???????  I even saw a ladybug which reminded me to get out my Tens and Ones Ladybug Mystery Picture for my kiddos.

Students need to read the number of tens and ones to find the numbers before they color.

7 tens 2 ones  72

 

If you are planning to use this as a math work station you can pick up an I can... card here.  It will work with any of my tens and ones mystery pictures.

 

It is also available on it's own in my TPT store and in my Tens and Ones Mystery Picture Bundle.

 

 

COMING SOON!!!!!

 

If you loved the St. Patrick's Day freebie linky that I participated in, you will LOVE this...

Thanks to Danielle from Crayonbox Learning for the great graphic!

Oh yeah,  I'll send a copy of the Ladybug activity to the first 2 followers who comment on this post.

Sour Lemons

"When life gives you lemons... make lemonade"

 

Words to live by.  I always try to see the positive in everything and everyone.

Lemonade all the way!

 

I just updated my Sours Lemons Addition and Subtraction math station.   The original required lots of colored ink so I made this one more ' printer friendly'.

Magical Product Swap

It's product swap time!

Thanks to the 3AM Teacher for creating this cute button!
 

I was super-duper excited to be paired up with Liz from The Happy Teacher.

I had a chance to use two of her products in my classroom that go hand in hand.

AND

 

 

The Part-Part-Whole mats are absolutely genius and Liz provides a variety of them including:

4 different sets of cards (and a blank set)

Set #1: Sums to 18 (pictorial)

Set #2: Missing Addends (pictorial & numerical)

Set #3: Sums to 18 (pictorial & numerical)

Set #4: Missing Addends (numerical)

 

Each set includes 18 task cards which students solve and then record on the recording sheet.

Also included are answer keys to make correcting a breeze.

I decided to keep each set of task cards, recording sheets and answer keys all in their own plastic sleeve.

 

The Part-Part-Whole printables pack includes 24 printable activity sheets each with an answer key.

 

Thank you so much Liz for allowing me use your great products in my classroom!

 

I am really curious to read what Liz has to say about my product that she has been using.  I LOVE hearing that my activities are being used by other teachers and students.  She has been using my Tens and Ones Mystery Picture Bundle.

 

Liz and I are each going to give you a chance to win the products that we swapped.  Be sure to enter here on my blog and over at The Happy Teacher to double your chances.

I am off to read Liz's blog then to check out all the other posts involved in the swap!

 

Good luck!

Ice Cream Measuring

Who doesn't love ice cream?  For some reason I was craving it all day at school.  Maybe it was because the sun was shining and it was warm outside ... yahoo!  I think spring is finally here!  Lucky for me I had some frozen yogurt in the freezer at home ... yummy!

I'm starting to think about getting some warm weather math stations ready and dug out my ice cream measurement activity.

Here's what's included:

• 12 ice cream and popsicle pictures to measure
• 2 different sized ice cream non-standard rulers (for easy differentiation)
• colored and black and white rulers (b&w ones are great for students to personalize and take home)
• 2 recording sheets (one colored and one black and white)
• an "I can..." card to build independence and keep students from asking "What do I do?"

warning - this activity will make your mouth water!

You can pick up a copy of this activity at my TPT store.

As usual, I will send a copy to the first 2 followers who comment on this post.

Patterning with Corduroy

I always LOVE the freebies that I find on Mondays over at Classroom Freebies so today I thought I would share one that I am using with my Corduroy unit.

Students need to color the button in a variety of patterns including: AB, ABB, AAB, ABC, AABB and one of their choice.  Click HERE to download your free copy.

Buggy Math Stations

A few of you have been emailing asking when my spring math stations would be ready.  I have FINALLY got them complete, edited and posted at my TPT store. 

 
Included are 8 centers ready to add to your math tubs.  I included a variety of skills I have covered this year: addition, subtraction, greatest / least, tallying, graphing, fact families and doubles.

Each station includes an "I can..." card to help build student independence and allow you to focus on other students.

As usual, I will send a copy to the first two followers who comment on this post.

I Recycled ... Who Recycled... ?

Earth Day is a perfect time to think about recycling.  This whole class activity will get students doing some reading, listening, turn-taking and thinking about recycling.

It is played in the traditional "I have... who has ..." method.   There are 28 cards included in the loop.  If you are lucky enough to have a smaller class then a few students could have 2 cards.

An example card is

This game is available at my TPT store.
