Goofy Gorilla Card Game: Multiplication Patterns with Multiples of 10

(0)
This Goofy Gorilla card game allows students to practice multiplication patterns with multiples of 10 in the classic ‘Old Maid’ game format. In addition, the cards could be used to play the classic game of “Concentration”--just remove the “Goofy Gorilla” card. The set contains a total of twenty-seven pairs of cards. The equation card might be 30 x 500 and the matching answer card would be 15,000. Also, included is the “Goofy Gorilla” card (my version of the ‘Old Maid’) and an instruction card.

I Have, Whoooo Has? Elapsed Time

(0)
"I Have, Whoooo Has" is a fun game that can be used to practice a variety of skills. This pack includes THREE sets, all designed to practice the math skill - Elapsed Time. Each set includes 24 cards. Also included are card covers. I usually run a cover on the backside of each card. This allows me to easily keep sets together and not mixed up. Plus, it adds some color to the game. If colored printer ink is at a premium, you can choose to run the black and white cover instead. Again, this will allow you to keep the cards in the proper set. You can play this game whole class by distributing cards to all students. Note that some students may have more than one card. Next, the teacher prompts the student that has the first card to start by reading their card. Students will have to determine the next number in the sequence. Whichever student has the card with the correct answer will read theirs. And so on. The game continues until the last student reads their card, "I have the last card!" Another alternative to playing whole class is to play it with small groups of students. The process would work the same way, however each student would have multiple cards. I like playing it this way even better, because it really keeps the players on their toes. So, in my room, this is usually an activity that groups of 6 or 8 play. Now, since you have 3 sets with this purchase, you could have three groups of 8 playing at once in your room. As I said, if a player has multiple cards, they have to be paying attention. Let’s face it we all know that many students will be less attentive once they have read their card.

Flip for Math: Step-By Step, Factors and Finding Greatest Common Factor

(0)
Students discover how to work with factors and how to find the GCF! The purpose of a ‘We Flip for Math’ Flip Book, is to provide a struggling student with a step-by-step guide to take them through the process they are struggling with. I have various flip books available in my classroom, but only after I’ve taught the concept and we have practiced it a number of times. The complexity of some skills can be quite challenging for many students. Being able to remember all the steps can become overwhelming for some. A flip-book can help walk these children through the process. In addition, I have found flip-books can be helpful when sending homework home . Including a flip book can make for very happy parents! This packet contains a 2-part flip-book that focuses on factors. • In the first section, the step-by-step process for finding a single numbers factors is given. • The second section, shows how to use ‘The Upside-Down Birthday Cake’ Method to find the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers. • 10 ‘Jumbo’ practice cards and two ready-made tabs for dividing the two parts. Answer key is included. Just a note, ‘The Upside-Down Birthday Cake’ Method for finding GCF works well when first introducing the concept of finding the GCF and when trying to find the GCF of larger numbers. By breaking the original numbers down gradually, students make what could be an overwhelming task more manageable.

You can run the posters on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Or you can enlarge them. For directions on how to make larger posters read my blog post on the subject.

I Have, Whoooo Has? Multiplying a Decimal by a Power of Ten

(0)
"I Have, Whoooo Has" is a fun game that can be used to practice a variety of skills. This pack includes THREE sets, all designed to practice multiplying a decimal by a power of ten. I have found that having a deep understanding of multiplying and dividing by powers of ten is critical to mastering the metric system which is usually introduced later in the school year. Laying the groundwork early with this type of practice, makes the metric system so much easier for all students. Please take a look at the preview page to see the types of questions asked. Each set includes 24 cards. Also included are card covers. I usually run a cover on the backside of each card. This allows me to easily keep sets together and not mixed up. Plus, it adds some color to the game. If colored printer ink is at a premium, you can choose to run the black and white cover instead. Again, this will allow you to keep the cards in the proper set. You can play this game whole class by distributing cards to all students. Note that some students may have more than one card. Next, the teacher prompts the student that has the first card to start by reading their card. Students will have to determine the next number in the sequence. Whichever student has the card with the correct answer will read theirs. And so on. The game continues until the last student reads their card, "I have the last card!" Another alternative to playing whole class is to play it with small groups of students. The process would work the same way, however each student would have multiple cards.

Kids love experimenting with the Short Division Method! The purpose of a ‘We Flip for Math’ Flip Book, is to provide a struggling student with a step-by-step guide to take them through the process they are struggling with. I have various flip books available in my classroom, but only after I’ve taught the concept and we have practiced it a number of times. The complexity of some skills can be quite challenging for many students. Being able to remember all the steps can become overwhelming for some. A flip-book can help walk these children through the process. In addition, I have found flip-books can be helpful when sending homework home . Including a flip book can make for very happy parents! This flip book product shows students the step-by-step process for using the 'short' division method to divide. NOTE--The 'short' division method is designed to be used when dividing by a single-digit divisor. There are no examples of how to use this method with multiple-digit divisors. This method is not easily used with multiple-digit divisors and not recommended. If you are wanting a product that demonstrates how to divide using multiple-digit divisors, this is NOT the product for you :) This packet contains a ‘three-in-one’ flip-book. • Section 1 provides a step-by-step guide for using 'short' division to divide small numbers by a single-digit divisor. • Section 2 covers how to use the 'short' division method to divide larger numbers by a single digit. • Section 3 demonstrates how to use the 'short' division method to divide numbers with remainders by a single-digit. • Ready-made index tabs for marking each of the four sections.

Parts of an Equation Foldable

(0)
Students learn the names for the parts of a equation! This packet includes four foldables: • Addition: Addend, Plus Sign, Addend, Equal Sign, Sum • Subtraction: Minuend, Minus Sign, Subtrahend, Equal Sign, Difference • Multiplication: Factor, Multiplication Sign, Factor, Equal Sign, Product • Division: Dividend, Division Sign, Divisor, Equal Sign, Quotient On the front cover of each fold-up is an equation. Each cover is divided into 5 parts. Open one of the 5 flaps to reveal the name of that part of the equation as well as a definition. Each resource can be used in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. Note that the grey line on each is for the teacher to cut before distributing to kids. Trimming at the line makes for a nicer fit in a math journal. In addition, the 'cover' of each fold-up is upside down for easier copying. I do advise, however, that you run just one copy to make sure the front and back are on correctly and then run all you need.

New! This product now includes editable labels that can be customized using powerpoint! This product has everything you need to organize your classroom library by AR Book Levels or the following 10 genres: Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, Traditional Literature, Informational, Biography, Autobiography and Poetry. Colors Used Include: Sky Blue & White Polka Dot, Lime Green & White Polka Dot, Tangerine & White Polka Dot, Hot Pink & Polka Dot, Red & White Polka Dot, Lemon Sherbert & White Polka Dot This set includes: ~Genre Posters: One poster for each genre. Each poster contains a definition and several titles from the genre. ~Genre Labels: One set of 4.25”x 3.5” genre labels for book tubs or bookshelves. ~Book Label Code Sheet Poster: One poster that serves as the ‘key’ for the book spine labels. ~Book Spine Labels: One sheet of sixty book spine labels for each genre. These labels work with Avery Return Address Labels (60 per page). ~AR Book Level Labels: One set of 4.25”x 3.5” AR labels for book tubs or bookshelves ~Editable Multi-colored Poster Page (Powerpoint needed) ~Editable Labels (Powerpoint needed) Personally, I prefer to leave the posters a standard 8.5 x 11 size. My thinking is that I don't need someone to be able to read them from across the room. Instead I want them to be a resource students can use when browsing the library. Therefore, a standard size is perfect. The posters, however, can be enlarged. For directions how to make posters using your printer, read my blog post on the topic.
