ok I started playing the sugar sugar game and couldn't stop! This would be a GREAT center game for teaching logical thinking and geometry!

Spell "geometry" correctly in your tag for this game so it will be easier to locate in the future. Thanks!

It's no secret that children absolutely love marshmallows. It's also not a secret that children don't always love math. But put the two things together and you've got some fun activities that will get your child excited about math basics like estimation, measurement, area, and counting. He'll have so much fun, he won't even know he's doing math! Here some ideas for marshmallow math games you can play with your kindergartner.

Many parents use the Sunday paper to look for coupons and cost savings on household items. Instead of doing all the work yourself, why not ask for help from your fifth grader? "Cash for Coupons" is a simple, fun activity which will save you time and reinforce your child's math skills along the way. Plus, it will give your child an opportunity to experience practical application of the math he's learning in the classroom.

Race for Math Facts: Math leveled groups or teams race to fill out this math factors chart.

CCS: 1.OA.3 This game has plenty of manipulatives in it to keep the kids interested. You can make it a little more difficult by using subtraction as well. I am a big fan of games that incorporates some kind of competition. I think causes more concentration.

Excellent activity for grades five and up.  "Students work as teams in mission control and aboard a spacecraft as they test their decision making skills and solve problems during this innovative, inquiry based, space-themed science and math simulation." This activity could meet MANY science standards and math standards including the Design Process, The Nature of Science, and Reading for Literacy in Science.  For the purpose of this assignment, I am assigning it to: 6.2.4  With regard to their size, composition, distance from the sun, surface features and ability to support life, compare and contrast the planets of the solar system with one another and with asteroids and comets.  6-8.RS.1:  Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science texts.   6-8 RS.3:  Follow precisely a multi-step procedure when carrying out experiments or taking measurements.

Roughly every other year, the Challenger Center in Brownsburg gets a grant and invites us to visit for free. Unfortunately for your cohort, we went last year, but I'll invite you back next year if they get another grant. We usually go on a Saturday morning and IT IS AWESOME! I love being in Indianapolis with these fabulous resources available.

I might be obsessed with this game! Kids would love it and it would be a great way to keep them entertained and involved during centers!

Celebrate the 100th day of school by creating a math-inspired mural! Count shapes all the way up to 100 for each day of school that has gone by this year. Creating a mural is a great way to celebrate this special school milestone while also learning about important art and math concepts. Students will explore geometry, patterns, scale, and symmetry and use creative thinking and problem solving as they immerses themselves in the wonderful world of art and mural making. As he cuts out his shapes, he'll practice counting, shape recognition, and develop those fine motor skills, too!

This is a fun activity that gets students up and moving around and can show them how math is a part of the world in surprising ways.
