CLICK HERE FOR MORE FUN COMMA CREW ACTIVITIES! Includes: Reproducibles for Practicing Place Value (Thousands through Quadrillions) Andy the Decimal Reproducibles Comma Crew Characters to Use in Classroom Demonstrations Hands-on Reproducible Flip Books (through millions and decimals too!) Extension Activities for Going Beyond Quadrillion Coloring Pages I developed this program after noticing that students continually had trouble reading numbers year after year. Once I started TEACHING the commas - students had a much easier time reading the numbers. So began my quest for supplemental place value materials to use in my classroom. After finding none that adequately addressed the skill of reading numbers, I decided to come up with my own. It's been great to see all the smiles on the kids who once thought they "couldn't do math" be successful in short amount of time at reading numbers and learning the place values. The way we attend to punctuation when reading literature is different than when we come across the seemingly same symbols in math. For instance, when reading a passage, commas signal the reader to pause; however in math, commas are replacements for WORDS. The Comma Crew teaches students that commas and decimal points have specific labels that need to be read aloud when properly reading a numeral. This easy, entertaining program allows students to succeed in reading numbers more readily than with a typical place value chart because the symbols are explicitly taught! The commas have names such as Marty, Thelma, and Andy for two reasons. First, kids LOVE characters! Second, the commas and decimal points within numbers already have actual names! Andy (“And” for short), was given this name because that’s what we say when we see him in numbers with a decimal! When reading a number that has counting numbers in front of the decimal point, we say “and” in place of the decimal point. (5.42 is read as “5 and 42 hundredths.) In addition, numbers often contain the “THOUSAND” comma, “MILLION” comma, “BILLION” comma, and so on. Even though at first glance all of these commas look alike, each of these commas is in fact unique, as are Marty, Thelma, Barry, Trudy, and Quinn! Each organizes a specific place value group. To read numbers correctly, one needs to be familiar with the uniqueness of the commas. The fun comma names alliterate with the actual comma names making them and their positions a snap to remember! Try it for yourself and see! It really works! And helps students build those important Common Core Skills! **ALSO SEE THE BULLETIN BOARD KIT, ANDY THE DECIMAL LINGO BINGO, HARD COPY BOOK, AND DESKTOP STICKERS!** The Comma Crew by Jennifer Reis is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.Based on a work at www.thecommacrew.com.Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available at www.thecommacrew.com.
We have been consolidating our knowledge of Place Value in Grade 2 this term with 3 and 4 digit numbers (and beyond). The children showed a fantastic understanding of reading, ordering and making 3 and 4 digit numbers however when it came to renaming, we noticed they were having some difficulty. So... I created these number expanders to allow the children to see that numbers can be made in different ways - not only using hundreds, tens and ones. They proved to be a great tool during these sessions as they practised making numbers in a variety of ways. We then used concrete materials such as MAB or Base 10 blocks and placed them on a Place Value Mat. Students compared their findings with other students in the grade with the same number. It allowed them to physically see the ways that the same number can be made. NUMBER EXPANDERS PACK Here is my number expanders pack that is available in my TPT store. It includes 2, 3 and 4 digit number expanders - pre-filled and blank with a variety of different number combinations and includes a breakdown of how to use them in your classroom. You can grab your copy of my NUMBER EXPANDERS HERE A FREEBIE FOR YOU... Here are my PLACE VALUE MATS and they are FREE for you to use with your grade :) You can grab them HERE:
Two more days until Spring break starts and we are going to make it!!! I have been having fun with my Easter egg hunt again this year (see my post from last year here and download some free new quotes from the Life on the Fly Store). I have also been doing some exciting lessons on Integrity. I found a great idea from my friend and previous guest blogger, Rebecca Atkins, on her blog here. Check out her original description of the lesson and write her a nice comment. :o) After being inspired, I tweaked the lesson to include some of my own activities and objectives. I taught the lesson in first grade, but I could have delivered it in second or third grades with no problem. I will be posting my original Kindergarten Integrity lesson later this week. First, I started out with my Integrity definition pre-survey (D is the correct answer) and noted the baseline data. Then, I connected the definition of Integrity to some current events with this great news story found on the Today Show website. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy We discussed the story as a class and did an oral retelling activity to incorporate some literacy objectives and emphasize the behaviors showing Integrity. I ended our class discussion with the cliffhanger question, "Do you think the boys earned the $50,000 or not?!" and got the students' predictions. Next, we had a blast with a kinesthetic activity "Balloon, Balloon" (see my Ordinary Objects post here) where the students got to pass the balloon around until I said FREEZE. The lucky student catching the balloon read the behavior their hand was touching, and we decided if it showed Integrity or not. I had TWO rules to make this game a fun learning experience rather than a free-for-all mosh pit. 1) Feet had to stay planted on the ground as if they were rooted to the ground 2) We had to be silent/quiet while passing the balloon (after all, trees don't talk!) We discussed behaviors such as lying, stealing, cheating, following the rules, admitting you are wrong, recycling, littering, etc. I wanted to incorporate Earth Day themes since that celebration is coming up later this month!! It was really fun! I had also created a Smartboard slide where we could sort the behaviors visually to Integrity/No Integrity sections on the board, but we didn't really have time to do both. We ended the game by brainstorming other behaviors that show Integrity at school and at home. Finally, I introduced our flower activity. The students enjoyed creating the petals and decorating their plants and pots. I even incorporated some Science objectives and had early finishers label the different parts of the plant, which the class had been learning about in class.
