I'm a 3rd grade teacher at a small school in North Carolina and 2015-2016 will be my 7th year in the classroom. I have also taught kinders, 4th, and student taught in 1st grade. I strive to make my classroom as hands-on and "minds-on" as possible through project-based learning, manipulatives, centers, and so create resources to help me achieve that goal. My personal favorite subject to teach is math!

A collection of 15 different math dice games - for most of the games, all you need to supply are the dice!
Packet includes directions for all 15 games and game boards if needed. Game directions are 2 to a page to be copied and laminated for student use. Math topics include addition, subtraction, multiplication, place value, money, less than/greater than, probability, strategy and decision making.
Perfect for math centers, fast finishers, or reinforcement activities - all of these games are ones that my students play in my math class. They are easy to explain and learn and almost all have variations that can make them easier or harder depending on the needs of your students. Games use standard D6 dice but most can be modified to use D8, D10 (a popular type of dice with my students) or any other type of dice. Games are suitable for a wide range of ages - I have listed 1st-4th grades but will work for any age depending on needs.
The writing goals clip chart makes an easy and visual way for students and you to keep track of writing goals. It is aligned with the Common Core writing standards for 3rd grade. Students names or numbers will be written on clothespins. As you decide on a writing goal together, their clothespin will move to that goal. You can hang all the writing goals at once, or just a few and add on as the year progresses.
To use: print, cut out, and laminate. I printed mine on white card stock and then glued each piece to black construction paper before laminating. I then used a hole punch to put holes in each goal and then used small binder rings to put it all together.
I have included a PDF version and a DOCX version that is compatible with Microsoft Word publishing layout if you'd like to modify the goals, along with a photograph of what the chart looks like put together.
