Bridge12

In this activity students will practice multiplying decimals.  Students will cut out dominoes and use each domino to create a decimal number  (ie 2 dots on one side and three on the other equals 2.3 or 3.2).  Next students will draw another domino and multiply the two numbers.

In this activity students will practice adding two-, three-, and four-digit numbers.  Player's take turns adding numbers that they land on after rolling a dice.  Each player will also take turns checking his or her partner's answers on a calculator.

"Carnival Roundup" game board

Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of" or "less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. Sticky Note: These could also be used again later in the year when using rulers to discuss how different types of measuring sticks changes the length or width of an object

In this activity students are to compare fractions and capture/eat the most pizzas.

"Name That Fraction-Number-Shape board"

Creative activity to help them understand angles and triangles. At some point you will need access to computers though. 

K.G.4 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/ "corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). Sticky Note: this would be easy to use over and over by having kids focus on different attribute each time (i.e the different colors used, or counting all the 4 sided shapes, etc.).

The recording sheet that can be used for "The Place Is Right"  activity

This is a fun activity in which students must understand place value to the hundred millions.  In this activity students hide their recording sheets and draw a number.  The student who draws a number must announce which place value he or she put that digit.  Then, the other partner must copy that down.  Each partner alternates the plays until they have filled in each place value.  At the end, the teams must see if their numbers match and they will score accordingly. This game forces both partners to be working at all times so not just one person is doing all the work!

Classify objects into given categories (in this case it could be by object or by color); count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.

Using the game board students will practice rounding whole numbers to the nearest 10,100, and 1,000. Each opponent takes turns reading a question and then choosing a number to round to the nearest 10, 100, or 1,000.  The answer is to be checked by the opponent.
