Measurement and Subtraction

 This is bowling - I just used toilet paper rolls and a tennis ball.  They roll, and count what they knock down, then they record their problem on this nice little sheet I found.

 This little game came from Teachers Pay Teachers and it comes with both subtraction and addition boards.  I just ran two of each so they could play as a pair.

 Here they simply roll and write a subtraction problem.  They have to remember to write the highest number first.  It is very simple to play, just roll, write and figure out the answer. And here is the addition one also.

 These games are all on my symbaloo.  Here is the link to this game, but all of these deal with subtraction in a different fun way.

Old Maid!  So they make a match and try not to get the old maid.  A great game for a group of four, just hard for the students to hold on to and it was hard for them to figure out the matches - but that will come with time!

 

Here is this little game that I found.  It is great for subtraction and it really makes the kids work it out on the board.

And here is a great game from Heidi Song.  I have the students draw a number card and black out that many teeth, then they write the math sentence and figure out the answer.

Guess the missing number.  Free from this lady and it is awesome.  I have the students play in a pair and just hold up the card, if the friend guesses the write number, they keep the card!

Race to the top that I have shown in previous post.

War just with addition flash cards.

This is the app counting race.  It is for the ipod and ipad.  You can do addition, subtraction or just numbers.

U fix it, is a great little game for measurement.  Your students will love it. They have a ruler to measure and then cut the wood the correct size or it won't fit and fix the window or door.  It takes a little explaining, but once the students catch on, they really enjoy it.

Subtration - finally!

I introduced subtration formally this week - the students listened to half of the book and then I told them a little story about a girl/boy loosing teeth.  We counted how many she started with, wrote that number and then we took some away and completed the problem and then counted the leftover teeth.

Addtion war - who has more.

This is a great little addition game and you can control how easy or hard it gets - love it!

Here is this little game, great for shape review and you can do 2D or 3D,

Little teen tic tac toe to review teens and practice writing without reversals.

I am sure you have seen this game and I have had it in my room for years, but I forget how to play - but here is what we did.  One person is blue and one is red.  First player places his/her two pieces on two ten frames that add up to 10, so like a ten frame with 9 and a ten frame with 1, next players turn.  When I ring the bell, they look to see which one had MORE pieces on the board.

Facts of 10 - the beginning

 Shifty Shapes is an AIMS activity.  The students are trying to make a hexagon several different ways

 Top it is a great app using cards and addition. It also throws in a little greater than and less than as well. 

 BBC has this great online game for shorting shapes, it is a little hard at the beginning, but it uses the words faces and edges and vertices, and it is very additive - they LOVE this game. 

 This parking lot game is a play off of an old game from the beginning of the year from Heidi Song.  The students each have a bag of a certain color domino and they pick out a "car" and place it in the correct parking lot.  So a domino with 3+4 dots, would be placed in the Parking lot 7.  I printed an extra 1 and 2 to make the 11 and 12. 

 And here we are working on ten, One die, a marker, egg carton and this set of cards.

This has been a great introduction to the ten cubes.  I have had the students play as a team and take turns so they can check each other and help to make a set of ten.  I will not do this one for very long, but I do like having the students work with these and at least be familiar with this. 

Making 9 and Tens a different way

 This is a great little App from iLearn.  They have several great ones, this one have count, calculate, and order.  I use the Guided access on the iTouch to "lock" the students on so they don't wander off.  Works like a charm!

 This is an activity where I am trying to introduce ten in a different way.  They see the ten frame every day and we work with these on the smart board, but they have never held these in their hands and created numbers with these.  They were to draw a number, create the number, and compare their number with their friends number to see which one is greater or more - we even used the greater than sign today!

 I have a symbaloo I created and you may want to use this as a great math tool.  But this game is just a little addition game that had them adding various items.

 Race to the top - the students simply roll two die with numbers on each one 0 - 5 and they add the numbers and write the addition equation on the square above the correct answer - so 3+1 is 4 so they would find the four on the graph and write 3+1 above it.  They are racing to the top of their paper to see which one has the most.

This is the same ol same ol, but we moved to nine, this week I did not write the numbers in the egg carton, I figure they should know that 9 is one less than 10.  It went just fine today.

And we did this as a review, plus I don't like to introduce too many new ones in the same day.  They are just making a shape using MORE than one shape.

Making 9 - for the Smart Board

Addition to 8 and teen numbers

 

Making 8 Lesson

I had the students make shapes using more than one shape.  That was the only rule and it was a great math tub.  I just traced shapes onto a piece of construction paper and laminate it - Viola - a quick math tub!

I have used this one before, they had a choice today on this ipad activity.

 

 Here they throw the bean bag, make the number on a geoboard, and show the number on the ten frame.  You could use anything, I just used this one because I had it.  Egg cartoons make a great one too.  I got this idea from a fellow teacher and she reminded me to put single numbers on the back so you can use this early in the year - so easy and so great!

 

Bump for March! Here is where I found this, but any BUMP will do

 Lego game number 2 and here is this Lego game played here.

Here are the cards I used.
