Not only are they fun, but they also appeal to different learning styles. I created this choice board to use with my students. The great thing about it is that choice boards can be used with any book. How to use them: After assigning a chapter for students to read, ask them to select an activity to complete from the list. Since there are multiple activities to choose from, students can use the same choice board over and over again. Use this free reading resource in your classroom.

This month we worked on measurement! The FDK expectation that we focused on was: M2.1 compare and order two or more objects according to an appropriate measure (e.g., length, mass, area, temperature, capacity) and use measurement terms (e.g., hot/cold for temperature, small/medium/large for capacity, longer/shorter or thicker/thinner for length). Here is our math wall at the end of our unit: We started by learning about capacity. One activity we did was writing about what the kids are bigger than after reading the book "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean" by Kevin Sherry. "I am bigger than a baby." "I am bigger than a worm." "I am bigger than my baby brother." "I am bigger than a butterfly." "I am bigger than my Dora snacks." Next we talked about length. We talked about and compared lengths whole group and then we practiced ordering items from shortest to longest and longest to shortest in small groups. Then we moved on to temperature. You can read about our temperature activities in depth here. Finally we talked about mass. First we read this book "Heavy or Light". Then the students came up with their own heavy or light items. The next day we started to compare using the terms heavier/lighter. We held a water bottle in our hands and then came up with items that were heavier or lighter than a water bottle. (Please excuse the yogurt stains all over the bottom of the chart.. one of my friends had a little yogurt explosion accident at snack time one day!) One activity that was available during centres was this light and heavy t-chart. Since we have done this activity with many other measurement concepts (cold/hot, small/big) they were familiar with what to do and could complete it independently or with each other's help :) Here is a student example. Light = a lollipop Heavy = tree We also used scales to figure out which items were lighter/heavier but unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that :( That's a snapshot of all of the measurement activities that we have done so far!

We all know and love Kahoot, right? If you do not know about Kahoot then we have a few blog posts with tips and ideas to get you up to speed.( here and here.) I LOVE how engaged and excited my students are when we play Kahoot. I LOVE that my students do amazing on my tests if we play Kahoot to review. But...what I don't love is how off-the-chains-crazy they get! I know they're having fun but it gets insane! I also don't enjoy the technology issues that go along with any lesson like this, students get kicked out in the middle of the game, it takes too long to log in, and not everyone has a device in my classroom. Unless you are a 1:1 school (I'm so jealous!) then it is hard to have devices for everyone to play along. Sometimes I really just want to use Kahoot as a formative assessment to see what my students actually know about a topic we have been studying, and not have them act like crazy people. So I came up with the paper Kahoot response system. All you have to do is use the game pin and log on with one student device (I actually just use my phone!) Then pass out the templates. If you already have them folded it works best. Then demonstrate to students how they will show you their answer. I love doing it that this way, the student can kind of cup the answer and not show it around to everyone but you. By playing Kahoot like this, it's actually a little calmer because they are trying to get the correct answer, not just just trying to be first. And you actually can scan the room to see who has it correct. Click on the template (on the right) and you can download it for FREE! I usually try to change things up in my room and not do it the same way every time. Sometimes, I just let them be crazy people! Do you love Kahoot? Pin for later....

Math Worksheets & PrintablesOur collection of printable math worksheets helps kids develop the fundamental skills from kindergarten trough 5th grade. Practice general math skills like addition, subtraction, fractions, decimals, multiplication, and division and more. Tips & StrategiesSkillsTips & StrategiesCreate a safe environment where students are comfortable taking risks and understand that making mistakes is part of learning.Connect math skills to real-life examples to make learning authentic; show students how math is all around us, in places like in our homes, in stores, on t.v., and in print materials.Use manipulatives such as counters, pattern blocks, hundreds charts, and snap cubes to support student learning; teach students how to use manipulatives effectively to help them solve problems.Incorporate both independent practice and collaboration in partners and small groups into your program; provide opportunities for reflection and consolidation to conclude lessons.SkillsTeach fundamental math skills based on students’ ability levels.Teach understanding numbers (e.g., composing and decomposing numbers, representing, counting, ordering, and estimating), understanding and recalling math facts (e.g., addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication), and developing mental math skills (i.e., completing math calculations in your mind, without the use of a calculator).Incorporate problem-solving into your program; students need to learn what is being asked, what strategies to use, how to tackle multi-step problems, and how to evaluate the reasonableness of their answers.Students need to develop an underlying understanding of math concepts, not simply rote skills, to be successful with higher level math skills.

We began learning about arrays in math today! Arrays are a foreign concept for us, they were added to our math curriculum this year due to switching over to the CCSS. For my very first lesson ever teaching arrays, I thought it went great! Here's how our lesson went down. 1. We started off with a great Brain Pop Jr. Video to gain some knowledge of what exactly an array is and what it is used for. (Gotta love Moby and Annie!) 2. Then we made a colorful anchor chart to put on our math wall which will help us remember arrays for the rest of the week. 3. Next, we had some guided practice using white boards and pattern blocks under the Elmo. They had to make an addition equation but they figured out pretty quickly how to make multiplication equations, so I let them do both. They thought they were so cool because they could understand multiplication. 4. Lastly, we had some independent practice using an Array Match-Up center from my End-Of-Year Extravaganza Math pack. My kiddos did great for our first day with arrays and I had very few who completed their independent work incorrectly. The ones who did, only made very minor mistakes, overall I was very impressed with today's math lesson! Hope you find these ideas helpful!
