Dice, Dominoes, and Cards Galore! Math Workstation Freebies

As promised on my previous post, I've got some math goodies to share with you! Yes, I know, I should be posting all of my cutesy fall crafts, but I honestly haven't gotten to do ANY yet! Unbelievable, I know! But, I have one fun week ahead of me--bats, pumpkins, spiders, candy corn, and leaves galore! Until we get to all that excitement, here are some math goodies.

 

For the last few years, I've really wanted to teach math small groups, but I just haven't been able to manage it--or maybe I might have been too afraid to try managing it! This year, I decided I just had to jump in, or at least dip in my pretty little toesies! After reading and loving Debbie Diller's Math Workstations book, I have found that I {sadly}cannot make that method work in my classroom--not sure exactly why! Instead, I'm formatting my math workstations and small groups much like my reading--a little mix of Daily 5 inspiration and Debbie Diller, too!  So far, I'm loving it!

 

Here are some of the activities I've added to my dice/dominoes station. They include Roll the Dice Addition and Subtraction, Domino Addition and Subtraction, and Addition Bump!

 

I've also attempted a playing cards station, which has been really successful. I've been teaching the kiddos a new game a week, and they've been doing really well! They also use the posters below to brush up on the game rules in case they aren't sure...Just click to grab yours as well! The games include I Spy Addition, Addition War, Quick Draw, Tens Go Fish, and Tens Memory Match.

 

 

Here is one last freebie--my version of a domino parking lot :) Hope these can make math centers a little more fun in your classroom!

 

 

Hope to be back soon with some Fall Fun! Thanks for stopping by!



Math Workstations Chapter 7: Geometry

Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July! Mine was very busy with traveling to see family, but I still had a little time to create an activity to share! I like to have my students go on shape hunts when I teach geometry, so I made a simple shape hunt kit to add to my math workstations.  Simply have your kiddos choose a shape card, draw it on their recording sheet, and start hunting! The recording sheets come in two forms--one for students to list the shapes they find and another to draw the location of the shapes in the room. 

To download "We're Going on a Shape Hunt!" for free, click Here! I also made a venn diagram master for my students to use to compare two shapes. Click Here to download it from google docs :). Thanks for visiting my page and don't forget to check out all of the wonderful math resources linked up at Mrs. Patton's Patch.

Math Workstations Chapter 6: Place Value

For weeks, I have been stalking the wonderful blogs participating in the Math Workstations Book Study.  I did not have my own blog at the beginning of the summer, but now, I am excited to say I do, which means I can finally share some of my own goodies!  I made this version of Place Value War to go along with this chapter's resources.  It is similar to a game from Really Good Stuff.  The download includes two versions--one with numbers from 0-100 and one from 100-1000.  I hope it is useful for some of you ladies! I have learned so much from reading your blogs--thank you so much for your generosity and wonderful resources! I hope to share more soon!

Please let me know if the link/download doesn't work...I was doing some major guess and check work to upload it!
