Ordinal Number Deal & Winter Steal

Students either seem to struggle with or grasp ordinal numbers quickly.  I created these fun activities that can be used with whole group or in small groups for reteaching.  The flexibility allows you to use it one-on-one, in small groups, or as a whole class activity.  

This whole packet is just $1.00 until Tuesday so grab it up!  It can be used at anytime of the year!

Head on over to my store to grab up this winter freebie!  It's got some great winter printables that you will be sure to find useful in the coming months.

Have a great 2016!

Happy New Year...let's get organized!!


Hey, Hey, Hey! Katie from Pop into Primary here wishing you a Happy New Year! Let me tell you all about New Year's Eve! My 2 year old and I were sound asleep on the couch by 9:30 after helping the hubs nail on our new chair rail downstairs. Haha. I hope you had a terrific evening!! 

My biggest classroom goal this year has been to get more organized! Who's with me?! To help myself with this, I decided this summer to tackle my file cabinets. After 9 years of teaching I have collected so many of those manila folders full of junk lessons/activities and when I switched districts two years ago I came into a classroom where the file cabinets already looked like this {without even ONE of my files added}:

As we say in Minnesota....Uffda!

So...I went through my files, recycled TONS of stuff and created binders to store the most useful items. I LOVE how it is turning out. 

{Ongoing process you see!} 


Do you want your file cabinets to look like this too? Download my math binder covers {organized by unit topics} 


or my math common core aligned binder covers .
PS....they come with two sizes of binder spines too! :) 
  


For three days each set of covers is only $1!!
Enjoy the tail end of your break!

Warm and Cozy Math Stations

Hey ya'll! It's Marcy from Saddle Up For 2nd Grade!

Saddle Up for 2nd Grade

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Today I'm bringing you a dollar deal that you do not want to miss! My Warm and Cozy Math Stations will be on sale the next 3 days. These are perfect for starting out the new year and provides great practice for the winter months. Ten winter themed stations are available in color and black and white. They cover addition and subtraction facts to 20, addition and subtraction with and without regrouping, adding 3 and 4 addends, comparing and ordering numbers to 1,200, counting coins up to $1.00, telling time in 5 minute increments, place value to 1,200 and fractions. 

Our math standards changed this past year. In 2nd grade they now have to be able to recognize, compare, and order numbers up to 1,200 instead of 999. Working with 4 digit numbers makes them feel so grown up. :)

In Texas, our fraction standards changed. They only have to recognize fractions in halves, fourths and eights. We no longer have to teach numerator and denominators but I've tried to throw some of that into the mix of things. Here they are only writing the fraction of the parts shaded. Our curriculum teaches the word form rather than using a fraction bar.

Exit Tickets are EXITing!

Click here to check out my tickets!
Hey y'all! It's Aimee from {Taking on Second}! I want to explain my love of exit tickets! If your room is anything like mine at the end of the day, it is almost complete chaos! Everyone knows the end result is to be ready to go, but no matter how much I try to have them go in a specific order, only a handful follow directions! We have only been late getting out one time this year, so I guess what we do is working just fine!
Check out the boy getting ready to run on the right side! It is just a little bit of a mess! Then I have kids who are following directions and have to wait, just standing by their chairs for five or more minutes. This is where my {Exit Tickets} are going to come into play!
After my students are all packed up and ready to go, they will grab their ticket from a basket on the horseshoe table in the back!
So far, I have addition, subtraction, and grammar packs ready. Each category has five cards(a weeks worth) to use. So the bottom ones are basic addition facts, there are five different tickets that cover basic addition. These can be done in one week or thrown in for a mixed review through the week! 

After filling out their ticket, which should take less than one minute, they will fold it once and stick it inside an empty Lysol container! Super easy to set up!

Then I can take a quick assessment on them when I get back to my room after dismissal. These are also set up to take less than five minutes to glance through and grade. This can help me form my RTI groups for the next day! 

Visit my {TpT Store} to find my Exit Ticket bundles for only $1.00 for the next three days! Have a happy Thanksgiving!!

Turkey Fun! {Ten Frames}

Hey friends!

It's Keri from Enchanted Kinder Garden. This month, I just whipped up a new version of my frame game for the month of November.


My kids have been rocking ten frames lately and I wanted to encourage them to use them even more for this month. Kids love themed activities, right?

There is two ways to play this version of Frame Game. I've provided two recording sheets. You could always just make one recording sheet and slide it into a sheet protector. Your kiddos could use a dry erase marker to work with (saves you paper and copies).



For my kids that still need help writing their numbers, I tell them to pull a turkey ten frame. They have to count how many and then write that number on their recording sheet.



When I use a sheet protector, it is always great that we use our iPads to keep a digital portfolio of our work. Every time we are finished with any work, we take a picture on our iPads. I am lucky enough to have 1:1 iPads in my classroom.

For my kids that are having trouble producing a ten frame, I allow them to pull a number and then make it on their recording sheet.


This set is $1.00 for today and the next three days! I hope you all have an amazingly wonderful Thanksgiving break!!!!

Shake, Spill, Roll, ENGAGING Math!!




Hey friends!! Katie from Pop into Primary here. What a busy school year it has been!! Anyone else?  As some of us Minnesota folk say...UFFDA this year is a whirlwind. But, I have definitely made time for some engaging, hands-on activities in my class this year. One thing we have LOVED is my Shake, Spill, Roll math pack. In this pack you will find four games....yes FOUR.
{Click on the pic to see this product in my store and read the reviews! :) }
1. A fact family/number bond game: This is where you "shake & spill" colored counters to create fact families! My students LOVE this.

2. Roll it three-digit addition: roll the dice, create a three-digit plus three-digit addition and practice those regrouping skills!

3. Roll it three-digit subtraction: same as the addition version, but students need to think a little bit and make sure they create a problem that is possible! {Without going into the negative numbers...because hey we are in 2nd grade!}

4. Place Value Roll: GREAT for those kiddos who need to practice ones, tens, and hundreds. Partners share a game board and take turns rolling the dice. They are trying to create the biggest number possible and have to choose which place value place to write each number they roll. Another big hit!

This game pack will be on sale for $1 for the next few days!!
Sweet dreams! Time to tuck myself in,
Have a great week! Katie
