Multiplication Freebie!

Hi everyone! I was due with my baby girl on Monday and STILL no baby! So I needed something to do to pass the time. I created a multiplication freebie for all of my teacher friends. It's up on my TpT store now! You can grab it HERE!

My third graders struggle with mastering their multiplication facts so I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to get them engaged in the process. We play lots of multiplication centers so I need to have a good supply of materials so they don't get bored of the same old games. This center can be played a few different ways. I've included a cover page, directions, and 44 facts. Let me know what you think!

Fractions on a Number Line Center

It has been MONTHS since I've written a blog post. This school year has been by far the most stressful one yet. This week we have had two snow days so I really focused on getting another product created for my TpT store!

Your kids struggle with fractions on a number line? Here is a super fun center for your kids to work on! Click here to head to my store and grab the product!

Tips to End the Year Off With!

We are nearing the end of the year! It's that time when we don't have new content to teach, but we need to keep the kids engaged. Otherwise, we would all go crazy! Here are a few math and reading ideas to end the school year off with: 

Reading: 

• Create a comic strip of your favorite story that we've read this year

• Write a poem about a character from one of the stories that we've read 

• Compare two stories that we've read this year using a Venn diagram and then illustrate

• Creative writing: use plot, character, and setting cards to create a crazy story! 

• Write a song or rap about your favorite story or make up your own story and create a song or rap

• Work in groups to create a story. Each student write a sentence and keep passing it along and adding until you have a finished product! 

• End of the year memory book: Create your own or grab mine HERE!

Math

• Roll the dice: roll the dice and create numbers to add or subtract-we have foam dice that the kids love

• Add it fast-take digit cards and have students each put down a card-whoever says the sum first keeps both cards. You can use this for multiplication too

• Math bingo-easy to create on your own with multiplication, addition, or subtraction!

• Have you students create their own word problems and post around the room for students to solve 

• Math olympics! 

There are so many more things that we are doing in our room, but this would be a very long post! I also do a lot of Smart Board activities that I find through Smart Exchange or TPT, but my students love playing games with each other! Any other cool ideas that you have are appreciated!
