Target Dollar Section and a Valentine's Freebie

I'll tell you what!  That dollar section at Target never lets me down.  Here are some of the goodies I found last night!

Check out these adorable little dry erase boards!  They are going to be great for small groups!

Heart dice!  With the countless dice games that I have and the fact that we are starting our next addition and subtraction unit on Monday, these puppies just made my day.  I am pretty sure my kiddos will be just as excited as I am.  The little things right?

When we took our pre-assessment, I noticed that many of my students are going to need more practice with the equations where the equals sign is not in its "normal" place.  We touched on it in our last unit, but there is a lot more of that in this unit.  I made a couple recording sheets to reinforce that concept with my new dice.  :)  Feel free to grab a copy here for your class if you can use it!

Recording Sheets

Then I treated myself to this awesome color ("more film") by Essie.  I live in Baltimore and we have a pretty big game this weekend.  Go Ravens!

Have a fabulous weekend!  Aren't three day weekends the best?

Shooting for 100! Manic Monday!

I LOVE Manic Monday!  Check out my freebie for this week below!



This is a game I made as a challenge for our addition unit.  We worked on complimentary or “friendly” numbers and then built up to this game.  Click on the title to download the game as a freebie!

Word Problem Wednesday

It seems a lot of the Common Core math trainings we have been attending have been focusing on solving problems that have more than one solution.   We have spent a lot of time representing numbers in various ways and I wanted to use that daily focus and mix in a little writing.  We started Word Problem Wednesday this week.  My little ones seemed to enjoy it and I got some very creative responses.  Students are asked to create word problems for the given answer.   It is a nice time to review the key words for addition and subtraction and additional practice with their facts and writing never hurts.  The cherry on top is that easily becomes a differentiated activity.  Students can show their abilities by creating word problems that are more challenging and incorporate more than one operation.  Click on the titles below to download.
