So we began we the multiplication flowers since my daughter had turned 6 and well on her way to memorising all 1 to 12 times tables, this year was dedicated to solidify her multiplication facts as well as her other math facts for her to move forward easily to more complicated math problems. With the multiplication flowers all you do is colour them in and glue where it says "stick here" making sure the correct multiplication sum corresponds with the answer behind like the this picture below; If you would like your own copy click below Large Multiplication Flowers By The Homeschooling Hub

The next unit I've decided to put into the works will be a bears unit. This will be a brand new unit to my store, but will include my current Gummy Bear Fun activity that is posted. This unit will also be aligned with Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG) just like my updated Brr! Winter Activity Bundle. In the meantime, while you wait, because who knows how long it will really take me to complete this unit, I have a freebie for you! This freebie is for size sorting bears. This activity will also be included in the bears unit, but here is your chance to get it for FREE! Here is what is included: This item includes cards to use for placing the sorting bears on, and bears of various size and color that you can print out and laminate to use for this activity. You could also use plastic bear counters if you have them. There are cards to do a simple big vs. little size sort, and then a more complicated, small, medium, or large size sort. The bears you would use for small/little and large/big are the same size. J There is also a blank card incase you would like to use different size words, you could fill in your own. This activity hits on the following Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG) standards: TSG 13: Uses classification skills - Student must classify the bears by their size, small, medium, or large. TSG 22: Compares and measures - Student must compare each bear to one another to determine the larger, smaller, etc. TSG 26: Demonstrates knowledge of the physical properties of objects and materials. - Student considers the size of each bear as their physical property to determine the best size card to place that bear on. I hope you'll head over to my TpT store to download this activity for FREE!
Tweet As a math specialist I often get asked which is better... push-in or pull-out interventions. Today I am linking up with a bunch of great bloggers to share with you all kinds of things you might like to know about. You can check out other blog posts by checking out the links at the bottom of this post. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each intervention method Push-In Pros To me, the best part of the push-in model of intervention is that I really get to know all of the kids in a class. When I am there for co-teaching whole group lessons and available for small group instruction I get to know and work with a wide range of kids. The groupings can be more flexible and there is a great sense of teamwork with the classroom teacher. There is a great opportunity to follow a guided math structure and having two adults in the room makes things run very efficiently. It is also a great way to learn from another professional and see new teaching strategies. When I do push-in interventions, I am the person moving between rooms rather than the students which certainly saves transition time. Push-in instruction also means all the materials kids need for that subject are in one place. Finally, it provides more consistency in terms of classroom rules and routines. Cons There are several things that can be very challenging with a push-in model for intervention. If the classroom teacher and the interventionist have different ideas about classroom management, it can present a challenge. If one teacher is very laid back with management while the other is very consistent and on top of things it can be tough to co-teach and co-exist in the same room. Also, noise and distractions can be more of a problem especially as class size increases. Pull-Out Pros The very best part about pull-out intervention is having a quiet, focused place to do it. It is a small group of kids and at least in my case, I have my own mini-classroom to work in and there are not any distractions from other groups, students or teachers. If I am using specific materials for a particular intervention I can leave them in one place and know they won't get moved by another teacher or kid. Many of my favorite intervention materials like my place value decks and number puzzles are also used by teachers in the classroom so I can access most of my favorite things regardless of where I am. When kids come to my room, they get a change of scenery and a quick break as they walk to my room which is always nice. I also am in control of classroom management in my own space and I have to say, I really like having things my way. Cons The thing I miss most when I do pull-out interventions is the co-teaching relationship I have with the classroom teacher. I also have a very packed schedule and if I am not in a teacher's classroom, it can be hard to catch up with how students are doing and what we are working on. I also find during pull out interventions the groups are much less flexible and I tend to end up with the same kids over and over again. There also seems to be a bit more of lost instruction time waiting for kids to come to me or having to go to their classrooms and wait for them to be ready to go. There are also some kids who seem to get lost on their way from their classroom to my room. My General Rules for Intervention In general, I find push-in intervention to be the most effective way for me to deliver math services. I love getting to know all the kids in the school and I really enjoy collaborating with other teachers. Co-teaching and sharing kids can be a great way to increase the learning of all students. I am very good at getting along with other educators and have spent a lot of time developing relationships with the folks I work with. When you first start with a push-in model there is certainly a learning curve as you figure out the other teachers styles, preferences, strengths and weaknesses. After a decade of working with many of the same teachers, I have strong co-teaching relationships and can be very effective teaching with the people I know so well. Our school also tends to have smaller class sizes which really help make push-in instruction less distracting and more effective. Despite the fact that I really love push-in interventions, I still do some pull-out interventions. There are some days that the push-in model is not effective and there are some kids whose needs are so specific that they need to be in another room or near different materials to have their needs met. The best part about my job has been the flexibility I have to move between the push-in and pull out models. I work almost exclusively with math but feel that many of these pros and cons still hold true for literacy interventions as well. If you are looking for the perspective of a literacy person on this matter, you might want to check out Amy's post over at Eclectic Educating. Amy is a reading specialist who has had experience with both kids of interventions. How does intervention work in your school? What method do you prefer? Please respond in the comments below!
