Week 9: Review of Numbers, counting, printing, and sorting

I have several parents that like to come in and help with Math Tubs - when they do come, I like to pull out  fun game that reinforces a skill we have been working on, HERE they are subtilizing AND having  fun!

(sorry about the sideways view, I tried to change it many different ways, but no luck)  I played this Lakeshore game again this week, but the children pick number between 4 and 15 this week


And this is just a simple tic tac toe, but the students are writing numbers.  I have the one who picks the number go first and then on the next game, the other friend goes first.

I found this little goodie on Pinterest - I just love it!  The kids really had a great time with this tub.

This is a great app - It is called Number Flash and it allows the kids to see a set, then it covers it and lets them pick the number - it gives them a happy noise if it is correct and nothing if they are wrong.  As a teacher, you can pick how many you want them to count and you can set how long they can see it and how long they can have to pick the number.  I did 3 second view time and 5 second pick the number time.  It seemed to work fine for all of them.  I also used the guided access to keep the students on this app, worked like a charm!

I have had this activity for a while.  I found it here.  The students just draw teeth - so fun.  I also have the students write the number somewhere on the sheet.

This is a great teacher led activity, we talked about what the shapes had that was the same, different, and then I would place some in the circle and they would guess my rule and sort.  After doing a couple of those, I move to two circles and then (I haven't gotten to this yet) I will overlap the circles and have some in the middle.  Eventually, I like to see who can come up with a rule for us to guess, but that is really for your higher thinking kids.

Leaf sorting is such a great activity this time of year, we really work on attributes in this activity.

Beginning of March math tubs

Making teens and writing it on the SMART Board

We are working on using different ways to sort than just color, size, shape. I am looking to increase their vocabulary, so we are using texture, height, and weight. I introduced this yesterday during Morning Meeting, and then today they put it work!

Ordering numbers 9 - 20.

Showing numbers in both hands on and writen form.

Find one more game. So sorry, I can't find this exact one anymore, but their are alot of these out there on TPT. The children roll the die, and add one more to the number and cover THAT number. First time playing today, and several friends were only covering the numbers they rolled and wondered why there was a 7 on the board? Too funny. Another day with this and we will good to go!

Dr. Suess brought us this great game, and it only takes running two and you have a game for Math Tubs.

And that will do us for this week and next. Enjoy!
