End of Year Math Review

End of Year Math Review

As every teacher knows, the end of the school year brings challenges. We are all but standing on our heads to get the last drop of teaching in. We had our end of trimester test and a few things to review. During this trimester we had our PARCC testing. So with kiddos that were tired and just as ready as their teacher to go to the beach we had to get creative.

I sat and created a game that would review all the standards I needed to review with the students before their big test. Of course my color printer and the school color printer were not working and took forever to fix. I laminated, cut, and sorted. It took me a while to prepare this game, but the results were completely worth it.

My kids loved it. I broke them into groups of 4 or 5. I will be ordering game pieces this summer for this reason because they used a piece of paper. ( I had to pack up my room too during this time so of course I got ahead of myself packing).  

Working hard as a group to solve. 

I had them roll a dice. Move their piece. Everyone solved the problem to check the work. No one looses a turn and if someone gets a problem incorrect the person who caught it had to explain the steps to getting it correct.  They had great accountable talk. Total success!!!

I hope it works as well in your room. It does not have to be just for the end of the year. It could be used as just a review anytime.

Addition & Subtraction Task Cards

I love task cards. At any given time you will find a trail of laminate. I believe I get so much more accomplished in my day using task cards. This week I created a quick checkup using addition and subtraction for my classroom. 

This product also includes word problems for your students to complete as well. I hope you enjoy. 

Remember by leaving feed back you gain TPT credit and TPT credit = money.

Crack That Code!

With school quickly approaching for me, I decided to take a day away from my classroom and work on some activities for the beginning of school. I am very lucky to be in 3rd grade this year! You see, last year I taught 2nd grade and know many of my students already. 

The one thing I always enjoyed last year was the great sense of humor the 2nd graders had. I know at the end of the year we practiced how to add  & subtract to 1,000. ( CCSS 2.NBT.B.7) So in the beginning of this year I found some jokes via Pinterest and got to work making a "Crack That Code" worksheet. This is a great way in 3rd grade to see who has been practicing over the summer. In 3rd grade we will be working with 3 digit addition and subtraction so this is a great pre-assessment. ( 3.NBT.A.2) Last year we did have fun with these so I know that they will enjoy the jokes in this one.
