Math Activities Addition Mission - 1 views

  • Addition Mission         Game mats               Number cards This game is designed to practice addition skills. Children should be somewhat familiar with addition before playing. Print one set of game mats (enough for 6 players) and one set of number cards (pages 2-5 ONLY). Then reinsert the number card pages into your printer so that you can print Buzz Light Year (page 1 ONLY) on the back (or use your printers double-sided feature if it has one). Cut apart number cards. Laminate the game mats or place inside plastic protectors. To play, children take turns choosing 2 Buzz cards. The child adds the numbers together and if he has the matching sum on his game mat, he places the cards on the mat. If not, he discards them. Play continues until one player fills his game mat. This player wins.

      For differentiation, students may need personal assistance to stay focused, but activity does a good job incorporating kinesthetic and visual learning strategies to help ensure success. 
    • Brandon Appleton
       
      Game does not need much change for differentiation. It offers good visual and kinesthetic learning opportunities for every student. If you notice a child struggling the game can be altered to help them succeed easily.

Understand Volume Using Sugar Cubes | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      For the more advanced students you could place them in pairs and one of the students would create a shape and their partner would then have to find the volume. Students could also find the area of the sides or the perimeter. This activity could also be used when students do not understand the concept of volume. You could start the activity very slow with simply finding the volume of one cube and then gradually make the volumes more complex.

The Amazing Equation Race | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      For students who understand the concpet easily you can intorduce multiplication and division in the problems. For these students you could even have them create their own problems. For students who are farther behind you could make the game easier by using smaller numbers or put students into groups to work together. For ELLs write the actual symbol (+, -) instead of writing add and subtract.

Practice Shapes With Bubble Wands | Education.com - 2 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students who are more advanced can write down the name of the shape they made. When blowing bubbles the students could also count how many bubbles they were able to make with each shape and write that number down. ELL students could practice just making the shapes with pipe cleaners. Students who are farther behind could work with other students in creating different shapes, but after that they could blow their own bubbles outside. The students could also skip the bubble blowing and just create shapes with pipe cleaners and glue these on paper to create a pipe cleaner shape display. Older students could also do this activity with more advanced shapes.

    Fun activity to practice making shapes with pipe cleaners and then using them to blow bubbles.

Put the "Fun" Back in Math Fundamentals! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game can be used with more advanced or older students by using two digit numbers instead of only one digit numbers. The pair could also compete against eachother with just paper and pencil instead of someone having a calculator. Problems could be made easier for students who need extra help, by having only two or three numbers on a card to add together. Instead of having only addition, the note cards could include subtraction, multiplication, and/or division.
  •  
    Students are put into pairs. One of the students has a calculator the other has a pencil and paper. They race to figure out the answer first using either a calculator or pencil and paper.

Chalk it Up! An Outdoor Classification Activity | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      1.MD.4 "Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another." This activity can be modified for ELL students by drawing pictures, rather than writing words, in each category. For older age levels, this activity could include more difficult or complex categories.
  •  
    Children classify and sort objects found outdoors into a chart/graph on the sidewalk. This chart or graph can be written with sidewalk chalk. The categories can be predetermined by the teacher, or the students can come up with the categories.

Froggie Counting Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      K.CC.4 "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality." This activity can be used with ELL students by having them simply count the spaces, rather than finding the matching number from the die. The gifted students can be given cards, rather than die, with simple math problems on them. The student would move their froggy to the number on the board that is the solution to their math problem. For example, if their card read "3 + 2", the child would move their froggy to the 5 space. This activity could be used with older grades by using the card concept, but using multiplication or division problems.
  •  
    Children roll a dice to advance their "froggy" to the next number. The first one to get the froggy in it's house at the end of the tray, wins!

      Can be easily differentiated for each student by minimizing what they must accomplish in their shopping excursion or watching sports. Send each student home with a list of what to look for as they choose their activity and adjust based on child's ability.
  •  
    In late elementary school, algebra goes from being an underlying element in math work to a main element in class. But algebra is still all around us, from the data in the news to real life situations such as shopping and sports. Here are three activities you can do at home and around town to bring algebra into your daily lives:
  •  
    Probably my favorite of all my activities I put on here...This is discussed in the use of your home but can be use in the classroom and works really well for a fun spin on homework that shows students at a difficult age why math is important and how we use it in everyday life. Also can incorporate many different standards.

Dividing by Fractions ... with Graham Crackers! | Education.com - 2 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students can work in pairs to help understand the concept. For students who are farther behind or are ELLs the teacher could model the activity with the students so they would be able to follow along easily. For the students who are more advanced you could ask them to figure out the fractions on their own or try doing harder division with two fractions instead of just one fraction and a whole number.
  •  
    This activity helps show students how to divide whole numbers by fractions using graham crackers.

Make My Day: Addition Style | Education.com - 1 views

  • Addition with 3-digit numbers has never been so fun! This activity uses a deck of cards to create addition problems and figure out sums. Start out playing with your child, and gradually allow him to solve problems more independently. You'll see his confidence with adding improve as he practices in a more engaging way. Soon enough, he'll be racing through the deck to create sums!
    • Susan Shonle
       
      Adaptations: This game can also be a subtraction game for gifted students.  ELL students will learn about science through looking at the pictures on the cards of different species of butterflies.  Special Ed students can play this game in pairs or small groups to help them with addition/subtraction. Extension: Use "The Natural World - playing card collection" to connect math with science. (i.e. butterflies of the world) This deck contains pictures of butterflies with the card numbers.
