      Have students graph their measurements on a large collective classroom visual and make connections to the different objects. They could then remeasure the objects with either a different non-standard tool or a ruler and see if the same connections can be made. ie: The pencil is always twice as much as the crayon.

      Easy activity to put into math tubs and provides a sensory counting experience for students!
  •  
    Have a lot of loose buttons lying around the house? Put them to use! Leftover buttons make for great tactile math games and art projects to do with your kindergartner. Children are attracted to the bright colors and shapes of buttons, so they're perfect for teaching your child important concepts like sorting, counting, and patterning. Here are four ways to turn those loose buttons into an easy and positive learning experience.

      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.

Multiplication Math War | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      3.OA.7 "Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers." This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by allowing them more time on the timer. The extra time may allow them enough time to think through their answers without feeling rushed. This can also be used for gifted students in the opposite way. The allotted time can be shorter, which encourages them to give their answers quickly! This activity can be used with younger ages by having the students practice their math facts, rather than their multiplication facts.
  •  
    In this activity, students play a game of war using multiplication facts. Each player flips over two cards, and says the math sentence for those two cards. For example, if one student flipped over a 4 and a 5, he or she would say, "4 x 5 = 20". Using a timer, the teacher can set a designated amount of time. When the time is up, each player counts their cards. The person with the most cards wins!

Snag a Spoon! A Math Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      You can adapt this lesson by using smaller numbers until the concept is grasped, then you can move to larger numbers
    • Jessica Buell
       
      You could extend this activity to higher grades by using higher fractions, adding or subrtacting fractions, or for younder geades by using number cards instead of a deck of cards to help them identify numbers.
    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game could be used in younger grades (K and 1st) by having the students use a regular deck of cards and finding four numbers of the same kind instead of equivalent numbers. Higher advanced students could use a deck of cards with harder fractions and percentages. They could also create their own decks of cards to play with. Lower ability students could use decks of cards were they have to find two fractions and/or two percentages instead of four different equivalent numbers.
  •  
    In this version of the classic card game, students gain a solid understanding of basic equivalents, while having so much fun they may not realize it's a math review.

Nuts and Bolts: A Sorting Activity - 1 views

  • Does Dad’s tool box need to be tidied up? Get your child to help you clean, while sneaking in a little math along the way. Sorting objects by size, color, shape, or function is an important concept in mathematical reasoning, and it’s the perfect excuse for a little housekeeping!
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      This activity can be used as a language development activity for ELL students. You can ask them to describe the shapes and colors of the nuts and bolts. ELL students can use their visual strengths to excel in sorting activities such as this one.
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      This would be a great activity for math tubs. Make sure not to include anything that could be sharp or a danger to a 5 or 6 year old student!

Take a Shape Safari! | Education.com - 1 views

  • Forget a jeep in Africa. You can head out for a safari right in your own neighborhood. Instead of hunting lions and tigers, you'll troll for circles and triangles. Why? Because shapes are at the heart of the first grade math and writing curriculum.
    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extension: This activity can connect math with social studies - use fabrics or objects from another culture. Adaptations: Gifted students can help Special Ed students by exploring together in small groups. EL students benefit from direct observation for context of objects.

Find the Math Fact Family | Education.com - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      To differentiate, advanced students can fill in a missing fact from the family. Some fact families could even have multiple answers depending on the use of division or multipication. For ex., 5 and 10 could be 2 or 50.
  •  
    Children decide which number does not belong, in a group of four numbers. The goal is to find the three numbers that belong in the same fact family, and then state a division fact using the numbers in that fact family. 
  •  
    Exploring fact families through a game of "which one does not belong?"
  •  
    These family math facts are helpful and can be used for multiple grade levels including 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I think it will be good for the students to make their own tools for learning. They will be interested in using it more if they made it themselves.

Play Pennies, Dimes, Dollar! | Education.com - 1 views

  • counting
  • This game allows kids to explore three primary math concepts in one: by moving pennies into the tens column, your child enacts the idea of “place value”—“ones,” “tens,” “hundreds,” and so on. By counting up to $1.00, your child practices moving around on the number line…
    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extensions: This activity can connect math with art (using pictures of currency)  This activity also incorporates a real world skill - counting money. Adaptations: Gifted student can use other coins not mentioned to reach goal of $1.00.  ESL students can draw pictures of currency to understand value of money used and use chart to understand place value.  Special Ed students can have more time to count and be paired with another peer.

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.

      1 OA.3  This is a fun game that reinforces addition skills.  It would be a great family game or station/center game.
  •  
    Addition Mission:  Students each have a game mat and take turns choosing two cards.  He/she adds the two cards together, and if he has a matching sum on the game mat, he puts the cards on the mat.  If not, he discards him.

How Many Peas Fill the Classroom? < Teaching Channel - 1 views

    • Lori Jones
       
      Common core math 5.MD.4  I like that this allows students to ponder different questions, think through different ideas on how to calculate it, and in the process, learn about volume.  Students who need an extra challenge could determine how many peas would fill their homes, or how many to fill the school.  Students needing extra assistance can be paired with students who are stronger in math, and/or work with the teacher in small groups.

Make a Winter Weather Pictograph - 1 views

    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      K.2.3 "Describe in words and pictures the changes in weather from month to month and season to season."
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      This is a great science activity that can be used every day during calendar time. This helps the students work on their vocabulary while learning weather terms, as well as incorporating math, using graphs. Providing visuals to describe the weather at the top of the graph is a great way to provide visual connections for ELL students.
  •  
    Watching the winter snow pile up on a grassy yard is nice, but investigating it is even better! Boost your child's science and observation skills by guiding her through this winter weather-filled project. She'll chart the amount of snow or hours of rain that have fallen at your house this winter using a ruler, measuring tape, or even her hands! This ongoing seasonal graphing activity will even enlist her math skills and organization ability.

      This would be great to have as a station with other similar games to use as a review day before a math test.
  •  
    K.OA.3 Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). Sticky Note: This would be great to have as a station with other similar games to use as a review day before a math test.

Make a Math Monster! | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      This game can be played with addition, multiplication, and division. The game can also be increased in difficulty by adding two or more digit numbers and varying the problems constantly. The game can be played in pairs or groups. Students who are high achievers can play against eachother to create harder problems and students who struggle can work with eachother to create problems for eachother. This game can be linked with spelling by playing hangman first with spelling words and then playing this game for math.
  •  
    Guessing game similiar to hangman but with numbers for subtraction.
