Add or Subtract Bingo Please feel free to take 1 set of game directions and master game boards Please feel free to make 1 special game cube (write + on 3 sides and on the remaining 3 sides) You will need Wooden cube Markers This is a nice game that reinforces addition and subtraction skills. The advanced game board is meant to be used with special 12-sided dice. You can differentiate it for lower/higher abilities by changing the dice and game boards. You may even have 2 children play with separate game boards and dice based on their abilities. It is a fun Math with Someone game.
ADD OR SUBTRACT BINGO Materials: Bingo cards, chips/markers, two 6-sided dice (or two 12-sided dice), one special die with +/- sides Number of players: 2 to 4 Directions: Player 1 rolls all 3 dice and looks at the operations die to determine whether he must add or subtract. Player 1 finds the sum or the difference of the two number dice. Player 1 looks for an open space on the board that shows the answer. Only one space may be marked on a turn, even if more than one space is available with the correct number. If no open spaces show the needed number, the turn passes on to the next player. Players take turns rolling the dice, finding the sum or difference, and placing markers on the boards. The first player to get four markers in a row wins.

Mark the 3 rd stick with a dotted line down the middle and a short dotted line going across to symbolize a man. See the examples below. snake snake man
Craft Stick Toss & Record This is an easy game to make to introduce place value. Craft sticks have 10 dots on one side and 1 dot on the other side. Students may use any number of craft sticks depending on their abilities. In first grade I usually use 10 or less for the counting version and 5 or less for the addition version. Students gently toss the craft sticks and record how they land. This is a nice Math by Self choice. Craft Stick Toss & Record This is an easy game to make to introduce place value.

Fact Tower Stacks Please feel free to take directions for playing (white half page) Please feel free to make a stack of 20 You will need some space to play this Math by Self game. You can vary the difficulty of facts based on the needs in your classroom. You could use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. I ve also used these with sight words to practice important words, so you can use this a number if different ways!
FACT TOWER STACKS Materials: Cups labeled with facts to practice. Ex: 6+1=, 5+4=, something to store them in Number of Players: 1 player Directions: Player takes out the cups and solves the problem on the bottom. If they don t know the answer, the cup can t go on the stack. ***You may want to have some type of checking system like they need to check to make sure it s right on a number grid or multiplication fact grid. You could also put answers inside the cups. FACT TOWER STACKS Materials: Cups labeled with facts to practice.

FREE THE ANIMALS Materials: Free the Animals game boards (1 per player), 2 6-sided dice (dots or numbers), animal counters or animal cards ***We printed the game boards on colored cardstock (1 game on green, 1 game on pink, etc.) to help students know which game boards go together Number of Players: 2 to 4 players Directions: Each partner gets their own game board and fills each cage with an animal. Players take turns rolling the dice and removing an animal from the matching number s cage. If you roll a number and the cage is empty, you lose your turn. The first player to empty all their cages is the winner. Variation: On the 2 nd round you could have players fill the cages back up!
Free the Animals Please feel free to take 2 game boards (white/master and green) You will need some small plastic animals or animal picture cards to play this Math by Self game. The more interesting the animals, the more engaged the kids are. You can change the level of difficulty by changing the dice EASY both standard dice with dots (for students who still need to count all) MEDIUM one standard die and one with a numeral (encourages counting on from the numeral) HARD both numerals (encourages automaticity of basic facts up to 6+6)
Journal Prompts I found a great resource on www.teacherspayteachers that was definitely money well-spent! One of my favorite sellers is named Jillian Starr, and I bought her journal prompts aligned to the Common Core. She has these for a number of grade levels (1-4, specifically). I LOVE the open-ended ways problems are presented; although, it often requires a bit more explanation from me or another adult helper in order to get appropriate and complete responses. I have included a few examples from the first grade bundle to give you an idea of what you can expect. She also includes copy ready pages for each prompt to make it easy to copy, cut, and paste in notebooks or journals.
Journal Prompts Please feel free to take 1 master of journal ideas and resources I use journals on an almost daily basis. I supply a variety of prompts for the kids to access as well as some word problems for them to solve. We also use our journals during some CGI types of problemsolving work in small groups. It is another goal (not in use at this time) to use journals as a resource for learning with ideas for strategies, tips, and other math concepts we have discussed and worked on in class. Journals are a great place to show growth in problem-solving and mathematical thinking. It also gives kids a place to share their ideas in writing.
I have also used a number of prompts from Linda Dacey s book of Leveled Math Problems. This is a great resource for differentiation and getting kids to explain and write about their thinking. I sometimes use them as journal prompts, but also do individual or small group problem-solving with them.
Make a Number Bracelet Please feel free to make 1-2 number bracelets You will need 1 pipe cleaner One set of beads (all in one color) 1 self-adhesive label 1. You may want to cut the pipe cleaner down to about 9 inches (they are 12 to start). 2. Decide on a number and put on that number of beads. 3. Twist the ends together to make a bracelet/circle. 4. Fold the label over the twisted ends. 5. Label the bracelet with the number of beads you used. These are great for decomposing numbers, simple addition, and fact families!
Make the number Name Work alone or with a partner. Use the place value cards to build the 2 and 3 digit numbers. Write answers in expanded form. For example, 45 = 40 + 5 or 136 = 100 + 30 + 6) 87 = + 65 = + 41 = + 72 = + 99 = + = 30 + 9 = 50 + 6
127 = + + 143 = + + 175 = + + 168 = + + 181 = + + = 100 + 30 + 3 = 100 + 90 + 1 = 100 + 10 + 6

MONSTER MATH Materials: Monster Math cards You can print in color from Teachers Pay Teachers. It s a free resource from Reagan Tunstall at: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/product/monster- Math-247620 ***We printed them on colored cardstock (1 game on green, 1 game on pink, etc.) to help locate which game missing pieces go to. Number of Players: 2 to 4 players Directions: Lay out cards face down in a grid. Each player takes turns picking 2 cards. If they make 10, the player keeps the cards and goes again. If they don t make 10, the player puts them back and the play moves on to other player. When all cards have been matched, players count their cards to see who has the most.
Number Grid Puzzles This is something kids can do all year long! You can start by cutting the charts into rows or columns to help gain understanding of how the chart is organized. You could enlarge and work with only a few rows at a time and gradually move into an entire grid up to 100 or beyond. Make it more challenging by cutting pieces smaller or with more involved patterns. The kids really enjoy doing these as a Math by Self choice. Some students will need or benefit from a master where they can match their pieces to a complete grid. Note: Pieces will get lost, so it is beneficial to label each puzzle piece on the back and match that to the envelope where the puzzle is stored so lost pieces can find their home more easily.

Place Value Cards These are wonderful tools for helping students with place value and using expanded form when representing 2 and 3 digit numbers. Students stack them on top of each other, lining up the gray end caps to build 2 and 3 digit numbers. Students may use them alone or in small groups. They could become part of a tool-kit or resource folder.
