Chapter 4 Freebies

I am really enjoying reading Debbie Diller's Math Work Stations. 

Thanks to DeeDee Willis for getting this book group organized! 

 As I was reading chapter 4, I was envisioning what these bins might look like. If the math talk cards were a simple talking bubble with no label, would they always get put away with the correct activity? How would I, when setting up the bins, remember all materials that need to end up there? SO, being the Type A personality I am, I made these from the activities mentioned in the book and thought I would share them with you all.
Beginning Number Concepts

I resisted putting directions because K/1 can't read them anyway but it seems like having the materials helps jog my memory which game it is. I would still make the I Can list WITH the students as suggested by Debbie.

I was thinking maybe if I make more I should add the standard in a small font to keep easily organized? Or maybe just copy them on different colored cardstock.
I'd love to hear your feedback. Do you think these are useful or do you have other organization ideas?

Fran Kramer is hosting the linky party for the Chapter 4 discussion and you should go check out her wonderful ideas and freebies if you haven't yet!

Time game now with more cards!

Busy Bee suggested that I add quarter past and quarter to cards to the hour and half hour I had in my Time Traveler game. I didn't know this was a 1st grade standard in some places! I figured it would be better for the second grade teachers or to differentiate for those high kids anyhow so I added them today.

 I color-coded them so you can differentiate easily.

Thanks for the suggestion Busy Bee!

The new improved version is now available on TPT for only $2.

You are the winner of my new game Time Traveler: A Time Game! 

This game is also available at my TPT store.

Thanks for playing! Stay tuned, I am working on a few more math games.

Time Traveler: A Time Game and Giveaway

I created a new math game called Time Traveler.

 It is a board game for 2 players that requires the players to manipulate the hands of a clock. After reflecting on my year, I realized I need to give my students more hands-on practice.

After much debate, I decided to put this game on TPT for $2.  The stress of neither of us working is keeping me up at night so I hope you won't think too badly of me for trying to making a little extra. I promise I will still share lots of things for free on this blog.

To ease my conscience I will giveaway a copy of this game to a lucky follower.
