CCS: 3.MD.5 & 8 This activity will really show the difference in perimeter and area in a very hands on way. It really shows what "area" really is.

CCS: 1:G:1,2,& 3 What is funner than having the kids see the shapes they are learning about in their everyday enviornment. You can teach them about graphing, and also making educated guesses as well. Also helps get teh kids active in their own learning.

CCS: 3.OA.1 This activity is really neat because it can be used for all grade levels. All you need to do is vary the questions. You can also easily see who may need help in the area you are working on.

CCS: 5.NBT.3 Really fun game where kids have to think about and follow the rules of the game, review how to add decimals, and then think logically about how to win the game. Really fun and competitive way to work on decimals.

CCS: 3.MD.5

CCS: 6.EE.2 What I love about this game is that it explains the magc trick. Once you ahve them follow the instructions and they all get the answer that you told them they would get them hooked. Everyone always wants to know how you did that, and by explaining the steps you can introduce them to variables in a fun and captivating way.

CCS: 4.NBT.1 Allows for creativity in picking out what number they want to say. Could use to make educated guesses on answering different questions and if you are the closest and say the number correctly you get some kind of reward.

A lesson that guides students through writing, conducting, analyzing, and presenting a survey.

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.

Guessing game similiar to hangman but with numbers for subtraction.

This activity will give children plenty of practice in figuring out the lowest common multiple of two numbers. This will be practice where they need to think fast and eventaully get to the point where they can memorize what thei LCM of certain numbers are. Can be used in 5th grade and high level 4th.

Wonderful for any grade level. It all epends what kind of math you decide to use with this activity. You can use addition, subtration for the lower grades with lower numbers, and multiplication and division with higher numbers for higher grade levels.

This activity engages students by having them think fast to identify odd and even numbers. Could be used with other concepts of math and other flash cards. Playing cards do not need to be used. 

This is a great activity that could be used as early as grade K. This can really help young students grasp a full awareness of shapes and how they are formed. 

I could not hammer that many nails without getting frustrated. To me, it's worth it to buy geobards because it's hard to get the spacing perfect and keep the nails straight and not have them pop out.

Using a geoboard is fun, but making one from scratch is frustrating! I cannot hammer that many nails in and keep them straight and evenly spaced. It is definitely worth it to me to BUY geoboards instead of trying to make my own.

Estimation is great for any grade. Ask mean median range and mode with upper grades just for practice. 

Great for having lower grade level student recognize money and values. Start by putting all the coins in front of your student, and ask him/her to sort all pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and the half dollar into their own groups. Talk about value as you go.

Identify the digits students will use by handing demo digit cards to selected students (e.g. 3, 5, 8). Students at desks should take these same digits from their card decks. Give directions for students to form a number to meet specific criteria. Students in front rearrange themselves to build a number. Students at desks arrange digit cards to build a number to satisfy the conditions. Build the largest number you can. Build the smallest number you can. Build a number less than 800. Build a number greater than 800. Build a number that is between 300 and 500. Build a different number that is between 300 and 500. Repeat with different digits and different directions. 2.NBT.3 Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Sticky Note: This could be enriched by having students call out directions and do as group table activities as a review game before a test

Vey simple activity, that will be fun for lower level grades. Children will like telling what their favorite color is, and be able to see a graphic representation of what the favorite colors are in their class. Great start to understanding graphs.
