Math Tubs, Valentines week

Simple week, really hitting teen numbers and I can really tell that the children have had ALOT of practice, they are getting better and they are UNDERSTANDING how to make a teen number. I love it! Here are some simple activities:

Polar Bear Bump with three die -

A quick and simple game I made for the SMART board. Very independent and GREAT - I could really see who understood. (It is also in our Dropbox)

A Valentine roll the die game. The children are drawing a little heart bug, they loved it and I am focusing on KNOWING those numbers without counting the dots. A lot of the children are there!

Here is the Polar Bear Die game that was the first thing you saw, this is just a picture of the kids playing it.

War! Concept is More or Less and the children LOVE playing this, they choose to play this during centers and after school waiting for the bus. Now that's a hit. :)

The Ten Frames game - we play it everyday, amazing how quick they are getting. I can really see quickly who is still struggling with one to one.

Hot Cocoa Teen game I posted this last week and we are still playing this. Here is last weeks link.

We are also rotating in manipulative to make patterns and sort. My plan this week is to introduce the more or less game with the unifix cubes, but I will have to do it whole group as an introduction, during morning meeting. I am still monitoring math tubs right now, helping with the low friends and giving those children the support at each math tub that they need.

Math Tubs - November

SMART table activity working with missing numbers 0-10. Speedy letters for extra practice, even thought it is letters, we are working on using the die enough to KNOW the number without counting every time. SO the extra practice is helpful. :)

Just a few file folder games working with number and sets.

We are talking about nutrition this week, so we counted noodles on our plates.

Roll a turkey. The children are rolling and drawing the parts of a turkey.

Turkey grid game, children play one board between two children. First child rolls and places that many red pieces on the board. The next friend rolls and then he puts his number on the grid. At the end, we count to see who had the MOST.

A few bear cave thinking skills games from AIMS.

Patterns on Geoboards

Pattern with unifix cubes.

Shifty shapes from a problem solving book that I have, the children try and see how many different ways they can make a hexagon.

Roll Mr. Potatoe Head

Ordinals with lining up bears.

This ordinal game will be great for teaching ordinals.

Week 8 Halloween/ Fall continued

Roll a leaf game, easy to run. Comes with both numbers or the dots on the die. Today we took the shapes that we have sorted and patterned with, and we counted once on the blue the number given, and then they had to push up to check their counting.

Mrs. Smith found this little matching game to tie in with our fire safety unit.

Mrs. Smith also came up with the pumpkins and stick game, she introduced it one day in her group and now it is a on your own group.

Enjoy!
