1st Grade Math Activities & Games

I don't know about you, but I have never been fully satisfied with any math curriculum and always supplement. Over the years, I have made activities that correlate to professional development books I have read or created games for my math centers on skills that needed more practice.

I put 16 of these engaging games and activities into a new 1st Grade Math Activities & Games bundle so you can save big during the TpT sale. If you look back through this blog, you will see many posts about using these in my classroom. For example, you can read all about me adding Dot Talks after a Common Core training to work on the skill of subitizing. 

Click HERE to go check out everything that is included. I also have a few other FREE math activities you might want to check out.

Did you know if you buy a bundle and already own a resource included in the bundle, you can email TpT and they will refund the individual resource price?

I'm off to see what other goodies I can add to my wishlist. I love shopping, especially when it doesn't involve trying anything on. ;-)

March ELA & Math Bundles

Are you still distance learning or trying to manage a remote cohort? Need your in-person students to have engaging activities but not share materials? I hear you.

I have put together a Google Bundle and a Boom bundle for March. They both have 7 decks with 4 ELA and 3 math but they are a little different.  

I hope you find something in my store that makes your teaching a little easier this year.

Did you know if you buy an individual product and later decide to buy the bundle, TpT will reimburse your original charge? 

Do You Search By Standard or Theme?

 I saw someone post the other day that they never look for resources by theme, only by the standard. I am wondering if they are an upper grade teacher because primary folks seem to love themes, am I right?

Of course the standard is important, but it can be both functional and cute! Plus students need to hit the same skill many times to master it so changing the theme can make practicing the same standard feel new and engaging.

Here is my newest set of Ending Punctuation Boom cards with a St. Patrick's Day theme. It addresses:

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.1.2.B Use end punctuation for sentences. 

Or maybe

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2.B Recognize and name end punctuation. Since I have the audio to read the sentences for them. I did not make these auto play so that the students could attempt to read them first on their own, if you wish.

These are 25% off for the first 24 hours! You may want to follow me on Instagram or Facebook if you don't get to reading blogs in time to see this sale price. Those links are in my sidebar.

Are you snowed in? I am feeling so badly for everyone in Texas! I live in California and we had the whole week off. Last year, I was on a school trip to Tanzania and it feels like soooo long ago! No exciting trips for me this year but my county did just announce they are going to start opening up appointments for teachers to get vaccinated at the end of the month! How is your state doing on vaccinating teachers? 

St.Patty's Bump and a Giveaway!

I got some really sweet feedback from teachers appreciative of products that work for both virtual and in-person learning. It makes me really happy that I can create things that make things easier for my fellow teachers. I have never been prouder of our profession and how, as usual, we have risen to the challenge thrown at us. We got this!

Since you all seemed to like my Valentine's Bump games, I made a set for St. Patty's Day! These have both a Google Slides digital version as well as a print version. The addition and subtraction set includes 7 games.

I also made a multiplication version for the facts 1-12. Please let your upper grade teacher friends know.

These are 25% off for 24 hours and I'd love to give a copy away to a loyal follower! Just leave me a comment saying if you'd like Addition & Subtraction or Multiplication and your email. If there is something you'd like to see me make or a skill addressed, just let me know.

FREE Valentine's Day Easy Math Center Idea & Printable

 Need a last minute Valentine's Day math center?  

Gather these supplies. I have also seen the small plastic hearts at Michaels Crafts and Walmart.

The plastic pockets are optional but I like using them because

1. I can make less copies.

2. The kids love using them.

3. It is better for the environment!

Partners take turns selecting a heart and counting the coins inside. After they both record their total, they write in the greater than or less than sign to determine who won that round. The winner is whoever won more rounds.

You don't need to write the numbers on the hearts unless you want to provide an answer key. Just make sure there are different amounts in each heart so no round ends up in a tie.

Go grab the FREE printable in my shop!

 I saw this cute basket at Party City for only $1 that would add to the cuteness of this center!

Are you still looking for a few more ideas to round out next week?

And I'll leave you with another freebie! Have a great weekend!

Winner and another Giveaway!

 Congrats to Sara Cannon, the winner of my Valentine's Bump Addition & Subtraction game!

I'd also like to give away a copy of the Multiplication version. I'm not sure how many followers I have that teach the older grades but I do in the summer so I often make more advanced items, as well. 

Leave a comment saying what grade you teach and your email and I will pick a winner! 

Thank you to all of you who visited my TpT store during the sale. I spent more than I usually do so I better get to creating!

Google Slides version added to my Pot O' Gold Game

 I updated my Pot O' Gold: Addition Strategies Game to add a Google Slides version!

This is the short video but I added one to my store with an audio explanation. 

If you already own this game just go to your purchases page to download the updated version for free! If you don't own it yet, today is the last day of the TpT sale so you might want to head over there.
